hpecorari Posted March 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I know balcony rooms have a coffee machine but does anyone know how many bags of coffee the room steward usually leaves per day? Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochelle_s Posted March 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2015 In my experience it is usually two regular and two decaf. Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveH2508 Posted March 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2015 We use two bags to make a decent strength pot (1 regular + 1 decaf). As stated earlier - normally you get 2 regular and 2 decaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted March 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The pot we had made 4 "cups" and we had two bags of each. The steward gladly provided more when requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Fountain Posted March 9, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What do people think? Does the machine produce better coffee than if a pot is delivered by room service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino Comp Chick Posted March 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Harriet, I usually just have a standing order for 2 pots of coffee every morning, I never bother with the little pots (mostly because I like regular milk and not the powdered stuff).

Crusin-Suzan Posted March 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I bring my own coffee and a small pod that I bought on Amazon. That way I have good fresh coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adele1 Posted March 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Don't like what they supply so I, too, bring own coffee & filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhsail Posted March 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I thought it was much better than anywhere else on the ship, but if you're very picky about your coffee it would be easy enough to bring some filters and your own coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochelle_s Posted March 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2015 For those that do prefer fresh milk for their coffee, you can always pick up one of the little cartons at the buffet and keep it in your fridge. Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted March 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 9, 2015 We liked our morning & PM coffee (dark roast) strong and most of what's served on the ships just won't do, exception being LeBistro's freshly made Cappuccino (after dinner.) Just too much water & diluted taste/flavor ... NCL has gone from those 4-cup coffee maker to hot water kettle to these little pod in the balcony staterooms; and, the Nescafe powder available/provided was good for a 4 or 5 oz. cup & that's about it - plus, not enough "instant" coffemate or creamer. We always pack some of our own for travel - instant 3-in-1 coffee mix (Via by Starbucks, etc.) along with the double-insulated mug, as the small cup in the cabin/cafe gets cold very quickly. For 5-7 nights cruises packing lightly, not worthy the extra hassle & weight to pack our own French press, travel coffee maker kit or coffee drip in the luggage.

lhsail Posted March 9, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Think there might be a variance in type of coffee maker by ship. We were just on the Jewel and they still had the 4-cup ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted March 9, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 9, 2015 These coffee makers must be different than the ones in suites which have pods and they make one cup at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpecorari Posted March 9, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted March 9, 2015 These coffee makers must be different than the ones in suites which have pods and they make one cup at a time. I'll be staying in a GV for the first time. Can you tell me about those coffee machines. Do they also have pods that can make hot tea? Does it froth the milk for a Cappuccino? Thanks, Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Bus Posted March 9, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Think there might be a variance in type of coffee maker by ship. We were just on the Jewel and they still had the 4-cup ones. Can you confirm these are the type that brew into an insulated pot. I was always informed that the 'hotel type' brewers with the hot plate were not allowed on ships. Thanks.

I have been in cabins that had coffee makers that had a glass carafe with metal hot plate that made 4 cups at a time. I have also had cabins where the coffee maker just made one cup directly into the mug. None of these cabins were suites with the Lavazzo machines.
