Rare TiogaCruiser Posted November 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2015 About 6 months or so ago there was a coffee thread which included several people recommending a particular coffee press. I have searched, and cannot find that thread.:confused: So, anyone have a recommendation? (I'm hoping those who may have participated may see this and respond. It's going to be a Christmas present for DH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikolz350 Posted November 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I personally use Aeropress. You can make espresso and regular coffee. A bit more complicated than french press, but better results IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted November 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Probably Bodum or Frieling. They're usually at the top of the list in reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSH11 Posted November 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Are you looking for something to travel with or use at home? An Aeropress is nice because it can be easily packed! A Bodum French Press is an inexpensive option. We also have a stainless steel french press that stays hotter than the glass Bodum French Press. For Cruising, I bring a Melitta pour over. I cannot handle bad coffee, so I bring my own ground coffee and baggies to dispose of grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lido staff was intrigued and they offered to clean it for the couple. It became an everyday occurrence, which was so nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was replaced by what he describes as being like a unit dose coffee maker. (My guess is keurig) and food is no longer allowed in the work stations. He needs something that is easy and quick to use and likes plain coffee. (It enhances ones ability to write C). I think it was the aeropress as I had followed the links that were posted in the original thread and they are familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knittinggirl Posted November 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) We use Aeropress on our cruises. I usually get a disposable cup somewhere, hopefully cafe shop. Then I keep using it until it's pretty full of coffee grounds. I stick it on a shelf behind a door, so it won't tip over. After that, I throw it in the garbage and get another disposable up. We usually take advantage of the Junior suites in Royal Caribbean because we get the tea kettles. In the MDR, we may decide to bring our Aeropress on Rotterdam, and have coffee w/ dessert. On our last Royal Caribbean cruise, we hated their MDR coffee. But they want you to buy the specialty coffee.

Iwant2BatC Posted November 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I just ordered a brand from A-az-- that is called Espro. It is a stainless steel 12 oz with filter and has a five star rating. Plan to use it in all my travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
