Kit for Extended Stay Car Travel

JHCCoffee

What kit do you use for extended stay travel — auto vs air with 1 extra luggage piece, ideally carry on (max 25 lbs) but could be checked (max 50 lbs)? Grinder? Espresso? Milk?

I have an 1Zpresso hand grinder, a Picopresso hand espresso unit, and a milk frothing whisk (battery operated). But this setup is too manual, tedious and time consuming for the constant use of an extended stay. Suggestions?

PS I like milk drinks, particularly cappuccino with thick microfoam.

I take my DE1 and Niche! The DE1’s flight case makes it so easy, and it’s a very light machine.

For me, there’s more to life than coffee. I just drink whatever is available locally.

Aeropress and a bag of decent coffee.

This is my travelling kit if staying for more than a few days. Weighs just under 17kg. I wouldn’t take it flying with me but it’s easy enough to load into the car.

If staying for only a few days or off grid I’ll take the Aeropress with the Solo grinder.

Just curious. What is the hand grinder in the picture? The black cylinder.

Norvin the Solo grinder

Not sure what that’s called in Canada. But in the UK:

And there’s a whole thread in this forum about it under the “unknown hand/electric grinder”

V60, scales, mini pour over jug. And I’m off 😁

Using a Staresso at the moment. A bit lighter and easier than the 9barista I was using previously. And a couple of 1zpresso hand grinders.
