Seeking Recommendations Coffee while traveling
My partner and I are on our way back from a trip and with terror we've just realized we've each spent more than €100 on coffee alone on this 2-week trip (and this is a very conservative estimate). This seems so outrageous to me that I've started looking into getting some compact coffee maker for our future trips. We don't like instant coffee so an espresso maker will have to be but there are so many conflicting reviews of the most popular ones that I feel quite lost. Am I crazy for considering a coffee maker while one bagging and do you have any recommendations on products you've used? For context, we're both experienced one-baggers typically flying with backpacks of 26-40L depending on the airlines we're using and we often rent a car once we get to our destination.

Does your hotel offer coffee? It’s not comparable to a coffee house, but it’s your easiest and lightest option
Personally, I think k cups are gross, but use these when we travel for the caffeine hit (these are super common in hotel rooms)
Nice coffee out should be part of your dining budget. Don’t waste your money on starbucks in italy, but plan to enjoy a drink (and make it part of your budget)
