This for me.
I gave up trying to replicate a good espresso a few years ago (my Gaggia Classic would give me maybe one great cup in ten, six acceptable and three pretty rank) and I now leave it to the experts.
I'll do V60 at home along with a Lavazza pod machine (10 out of 10 acceptable, never great), but aeropress and Hario mini for camping and holidays.

Each to their own. As said I take my staresso away with me (and my own coffee) to make a decent coffee (to office, to my parents, to the inlaws). To say that it tastes anything like instant is surprising but as long as you are happy all good

Ok...I drink coffee. I drink double espresso so I get 'coffee' but it's not a 'thing' for me if I drink instant.
Coffee snob comment relates to my coffee drinking experience...if others say or suggest instant coffee is somehow not the coffee experience then yes, coffee snob.
I don't say instant tastes like the real deal but I don't crave the real deal so instant is fine most of the time.

This forum is a fountain of knowledge and debate - love it!
BTW, I often find cafe au lait in France to be only luke-warm - pity!
Similarly, when they give you a tea bag and some warm / hott-ish water..!

I've gone through several options since we got the campervan. I have an aeropress, a cafetiere and a small Tassimo machine for when we're on electric hookup. Tassimo is the most convenient,and I can make a cup from my bed. I don't like the plastic waste though.

You know it makes sense.

We use a rok [url=]https://www.rok.coffee/uk-products/espressogc[/url] both at home and sometimes when we go away. Must use an espresso grind but makes a good brew.

McD's do excellent coffee. Plus you can have a McPee in a clean loo.

Don't get your McD's coffee in a proper mug though.

We are a forum for skiers. I am quite happy to get back to discussing first world problems. I get enough of the rest every day.

We use aeropress and a jetboil. For camping you can have coffee ready in about 2 minutes. With the heat in Canada we don't want to use the cooker in the camper and jetboils are honestly great

Bleugh to tea. I like a cup of coffee as much as the next person but I'm not a coffee snob. If its brown, hot and coffee flavour that's good enough for me. |
Some like a cup of coffee. Others like a cup of good coffee!
Some like a glass of wine. Others like a glass of good wine.
Some like fish'n chips. Others like fresh fish, and chips are optional
Some like skiing. Others like to ski in powder.
....
I'm not the least bit ashamed to be called a coffee snob, a fish snob, and a powder snob. But I can't tell the difference between good and average wine. Still, I don't question others who insist on the best wine they can find/afford.
That said, coffee to me is not essential. So if I can't get decent coffee, I'd drink plain water instead of lukewarm brown water.

Best coffee I ever had was shots of stuff from guys with tanks on their backs in the middle of the night in Venezuelan bus stops. Does that count as portable?
Dunno if the coffee was actually any good or just good for right then.....
