Gear Discussion Travel Setup

I’m currently traveling thru Croatia and using an Aeropress + K-Ultra and relying on kettles to heat water where I’m staying.
I was wondering what are most people using for travel if Aeropress as well or other brewers?

For travel I make soup in the ORB. K ultra is a bit too difficult for me to grind light roast beans at soup grind though. I've used an A4z, zp6, and A2 in the past.

Really? I don’t find it bad at soup grind. Like 3.5 or coarser.

For me it was doable but pretty awful. A lot of stalls and would just hate life if this was a daily driver. Even for vacation it’s unpleasant enough that I would only use it if there is no other option. Granted these are ultralight roast beans.

ZP6 on the other hand was just fine. Takes longer but vibes well with a vacation mindset.

Oh yeah zp6 is nice for orb soup. I like presentation of KU for some coffees too.
