Editors’ Pick: Travel Coffee Press with Tote Bag
Let’s be real, you can’t get a good cuppa joe everywhere you travel, so why not make your own? As coffee drinkers, we both love the idea of a portable press. You’ll not only save money in the long run, but you also don’t have to wonder when the last time the coffee maker in your hotel room was cleaned (metallic-tasting coffee is the worst!). Since this press can be taken apart and zipped up into the handy travel bag that comes with it, it fits nicely into a suitcase or backpack.
The Aerobie AeroPress brand in particular has gotten rave reviews for quality and ingenuity, which makes this portable coffee maker more attractive than others. Wired summed up their review with: “Brews the perfect cup every time. Clean-up takes seconds. Endless variations on method. Lots of optional accessories.” While you’re at it, buy some Trang Nguyen coffee grounds (a high-quality Vietnamese brand) to make a delicious brew.
