Hot water immersion wand

Trying to find a way to make my own coffee.  Is this immersion wand permitted on board?

French Press.

No it is not. Mine was removed when I made the mistake of leaving it out.

The terms usually state that you can't take any heating element of any sort without an automatic shut off.... I think curling irons are the only exception.  

My guess would be no.  You can always order a thermal pot of hot water from room service if it is just the coffee you'd like to make on your own ... and then use a french press from there.  But, my guess is that would defeat your purpose.

Definitely a banned item.

[Colo Cruiser]

No.

[donaldsc]

Not allowed.

Phooey.  After many cruises we still can't come up with a coffee solution.  We are as fussy about our coffee as some are about their wine.  We get the coffee card but still are not crazy about it so think it's the water.  We can use bottled water but can't boil it.  I guess French Press is the best way.  Can we bring coffee grounds on board?

I brought one of those coils a few years ago & it worked well until it burned out. I'm not buying another one especially when you can get hot water from the IC.

Yes, you can bring coffee grounds on board.

Yes, you can bring coffee onboard, but please do not send down the sink drain, nor dump loose grounds in the garbage can.  Your cabin steward sorts that garbage by hand at the sorting station, so please bring some ziplock bags to put the grounds in.

All good advice - thanks everyone.

Suggest you read the cruise contract you agree to when when cruising. You'll find almost anything that has the potential of causing a fire is prohibited. Since your asking this question, I'm guessing that document may be eye opening.

A decent alternative is the Starbucks Via packs.  I sometimes order a pot of hot water, dump several Via French roast packs in and find it's a lot better than room service or MDR coffee.

Last year I met a gentleman who made fresh coffee every morning.  He brought his three favorite coffee bean and would grind his pick of the day and pack it into to his "Travel Portable French Press Coffee MUG", all in one.  He got his hot water at the Horizon Court Buffet Coffee Station, where I first met him.  Must be a Coffee Connoisseur, cause he would only drink fresh ground coffee.

At home, we grind each pot fresh every day. Onboard the ship we don't have that option.
