Coffee makers in Suites

[mexicobob]

First time planning a cruise on Norwegian. Probably next February.
Are coffee makers available in suites on The Breakaway? 

Greatly appreciate info from recent cruisers. 

 

Thank you.

Balcony cabins and above have coffee makers available but since the pandemic, you need to request them from your room steward,

[goldmom]

The suites have Nepresso (sp?) coffee makers that use the pods.  Your butler will keep you supplied with whichever type of coffee you prefer.

This is the one in suites.

No. The Nespresso machines are in all suites. No need to request it.

Considering flight attendants suggest you never use the coffee maker in a hotel room because of cleanliness, how clean are the coffee makers that are in your room?

I clean the one we get in our balcony cabin myself, and run it once with just water before I make coffee. Seems clean enough for me to survive the week.

Appreciate all of the replies and information. Would probably prefer a regular coffee maker instead of a Nespresso machine but sure we can make do. Might even learn to prefer it.

How clean is anything in your room, really? Can you ever know for certain? At least the coffeemakers have near boiling water running through them.

The regular coffee machines give better coffee imo.  If staying in an inside, would they give you a coffee machine if you asked?

The cleanliness of the coffee machine depends on the skill and effort of the butler.  The butler, not the room steward, is in charge of the coffee machine in the suites.

Not for suites.

Clean enough to pass sanitation inspections. I think the flight attendant was talking about coffee makers on planes.

Hotel kettle and coffee machines, one of the examples was guests boiling undies in the kettles 😂

No place to put the undies in the single serve coffee makers.

Your right, also no room in the reservoir with their dentures soaking in there overnight 😂

Someone is going to find a way!

 

After reading this thread, I think I will avoid in-room coffee makers both on land and at sea.  Will never be able to look at one again without wondering whether or not they have ever contained undies.  Shudders.

[emmajo]

Undies and dentures! It’s going to be very difficult to get past that image and enjoy a coffee in my cabin. 😜

Never had an issue with the Nespresso machines in the Haven Cabins.  They use the "small" capsules that the Butler replenishes daily.  I ran some water through a couple of them for tea, and they always were clean with no coffee residue.  For machine coffee, it's quite good.

 

The "other" suites like Club Balcony "Suites" always had the generic coffee "pod".  That coffee was barely drinkable, but better than the urn coffee in the Buffet.  So, that should tell you all you need to know about "non-Haven" suite coffee, either in the cabin or the "stuff" they serve in the MDRs and/or Buffet.

 

In the Haven restaurant, they serve French Press coffee that is brought to the table fresh.

The morning French Press is so, so nice. I asked what the coffee was and they said they use Starbucks.

  We're in a standard balcony and was going to request a coffee-maker.  Our coffee needs to take strong and bold. (I grind beans each am and French press. )

 

How bad is the coffee from the standard makers? And do they bring half-and-half pods? 

 

If it's bad, what is our best option, the Starbucks package?

Thanks!  We'll give it a try. Are those half-and-half pods (or similar?)

if this helps any, when we book a suite it's usually the 2 bedroom, as my really good friend  travels with my wife and i. she only drinks de-caf, my wife likes regular coffee, and for purposes in the morning, i prefer tea.  on the very first meeting with the butler, i request every morning he bring in a pot  of decaf, a pot of regular coffee  a pot of hot water for tea. i also ask him to bring some croissants. muffins and sweet rolls.  you can have it all, all from the comfort of your cabin.
