ottmar Posted March 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We are on a balcony and would like to bring our own coffee for brewing in the cabin. Anyone know what size filters the coffee maker accept, or are they only for the pre-sized packets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted March 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2017 FAQ - from previous discussions (depending on balcony on which ship - answers here) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2424641&highlight=coffee http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2439285&highlight=coffee http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2365823&highlight=coffee The flat pods are easier & more foolproof - you can use 3 or 4 of them together in the bigger 4-cup maker, but not vice versa.

Rare BirdTravels Posted March 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We are on a balcony and would like to bring our own coffee for brewing in the cabin. Anyone know what size filters the coffee maker accept, or are they only for the pre-sized packets? NCL uses [mostly] two types of coffee makers. A 4-cup trip coffee maker and a single serve coffee maker. Which ship are you on? Your room steward will keep you fully stocked with coffee (regular or decaf).

ottmar Posted March 22, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted March 22, 2017 we are on the Gem leaving a week from now. Would the room steward supply filters? We like our own specially ground coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You should bring either filters for 4 cup makers, or those single serve refillable pods...depending on the coffee maker you get. The 4 cup makers use the packets of grounds that are sealed in a filter...so they do not have "loose" filters to give you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker@sea Posted March 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Please take notice : All ship board trash is hand sorted. Loose coffee grounds are frowned upon. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted March 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2017 we are on the Gem leaving a week from now. Would the room steward supply filters? We like our own specially ground coffee. According to this current GEM post, balconies & mini-suites are using a 1-cup coffee/hot water maker. RS will provide as much flat filter pod w. regular & decaf coffee daily, 2 tiny 6 oz. cups along w. rest. Use 2 pods (it will fit) for a stronger 8 oz. cup if you bring your own mug. See post #10 - http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2409149 The Hamilton Beach 1-cup is sold on Amazon, along with pre-mixed Senseo style pods & DIY filter kits, as noted above - please dispose of those carefully without leaving a mess for your RS. https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-49970-Personal-Brewer/dp/B003GW873G/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1490228783&sr=1-1&keywords=1+cup+coffee+maker&refinements=p_89%3AHamilton+Beach Even when staying in Oceanview or Inside, it's fine to ask RS (when s/he has time as it's always crazy on ship turnaround days for them) to bring one to you, time permitting. Usually done by evening's turndown service (filling ice bucket, empty mini ice box, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
