gingerdos Posted June 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My husband only likes Maxwell house coffee. He wants to know if he brings Maxwell house coffee, can he use it in the cabin coffee maker, Will we need coffee filters or is it pods. Is this possible?

punkincc Posted June 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2013 What we had in our suite was a 4 cup drip type coffee maker which used pods. We brought some coffee with us as sometimes hotel type coffee is terrible. We bought some pods online for 4 cup makers, but you can bring ground coffee and some 4 cup filters.

meglet Posted June 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2013 That's what I'm planning, except in my case it's Lavazza. To get a good cup of coffee from the cabin machine, I had to use two of the circular disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted June 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2013 In all the balcony and mini suite rooms we've ever been in, there has been a 4 cup Mr. Coffee type coffee maker (if the room doesn't have one, ask for one). We bring our own brand of coffee and yes, 4 cup filters are necessary also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkincc Posted June 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2013 For anyone considering bringing coffee, check first for the ship and room type you are in. Some cabins do not even have coffee makers on some ships, some suites have Lavazza type machines and some have 4 cup drip type makers which can take either loose ground coffee with 4 cup filters or prepackaged 4 cup filter packs. And I should correct my terminology in my previous post. I said my machine used pods, actually I meant filter packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailingnut Posted June 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I think the studio cabins have no coffee makers so I am bringing my own one-cup one~~will be on the ship back to back cruise~~I know the studio lounge has coffee but I will have to get dressed to go there!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2cruise1 Posted June 29, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Maxwell House coffee is supplied. Really when did that start.

Cannot remember the rest of the cruises. I don't drink coffee but brought everything home to keep in our guest room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savoy Truffle Posted June 30, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If you're in a cabin without a coffee maker, you can try to request one from your steward. S/He'll have to see if one of the suites is not using one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dongordon Posted November 3, 2013 #18 Share Posted November 3, 2013 And on the Breakaway the coffee maker used single cup filter packs. Does that mean it only makes one (1) cup of coffee at a time? I am in a Breakaway balcony cabin. Do all category cabins have the same coffee makers? What size filter should I bring if I am bringing my own Starbucks coffee with me?

Rare mking8288 Posted November 4, 2013 #20 Share Posted November 4, 2013 If your stateroom steward cannot find a spare coffee maker, ask him/her to go find a hot water kettle - NCL ships used to have them. When we travel abroad, we always bring some instant coffee 3-n-1 mix packets, you can find them on Amazon (they are over-priced, IMO) If you have Asian supermarket in the local area, they generally will have Nescafe as well as numerous imported brands from Asia, they are inexpensive and sell for around $6 for a pack of 15 to 20 sticks/packets. http://www.amazon.com/Nescafe-Regular-Instant-Coffee-Sticks/dp/B000W5BS9K/ref=pd_sim_sbs_gro_1 It is easier to get hot boiling water & stir it in - enjoy (especially when you are in a caffeine fix mode) or for those times when you don't feel like calling room service or taking a walk to the 24 hour cafe/buffet to get a freshly ? brewed cup.

bahama2 Posted November 4, 2013 #21 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Maxwell House and Folgers both have coffee bags (like tea bags). Makes a decent cup of coffee. Buy in supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted November 4, 2013 #22 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Carnival PROHIBITS coffee makers in all guest cabins due to "safety concerns". I know that has nothing to do with NCL, but just confirmed this for our Freedom sailing later this month... darn it! (I suspected this in the past, but never really pursued it) Tom Edited November 4, 2013 by Tom-n-Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted November 5, 2013 #24 Share Posted November 5, 2013 We had a balcony on the NCL Jewel 2 years ago and it was a stainless steel hot water kettle, little packets of Maxwell House coffee & tea bags, coffeemate & sugar setup plus 2 little mugs. Good for our own preferred "Ipoh" White Coffee 3-in-1 sachets and Oolong Tea packets - only wished that we took along with Ramen Instant Noodles like when we fly TPAC as they often run out/ration them on CX) CCL, however, as least on the Splendor out of NY - did not have coffee maker or hot water kettle in most of the cabins ... It is less work on a daily basis for the room stewards, regardless of the "officially" stated reasons for not providing them on modern mega cruise ships.
