RV Coffee Methods With Easier Cleanup

[Wmlunt-WO]

The one cup at a time method with the “super automatic bean to cup” takes maybe 30 seconds to pump out a cup of coffee (or expresso, latte, macchiato, cappachino, etc.)
The AeroPress is one at a time but maybe 2 min. I never cared for the drip coffee that sits on the burner, reducing the coffee and increasing the acidity of the brew even more.
The other methods I discussed don’t have that acidity.

@Wmlunt-WO :
What is this “super automatic bean to cup” that you keep referring to? For some reason Googling is unproductive. Can we get a link?

 

[Waterbug]

This thread is ridiculous beyond apprehension. Who really cares how you make your coffee and what effect does owning a Winnebago RV impact the process? It doesn't fit any reasonable site category. It's like "What soap do you use in the shower?"

Jura E8 is one such machine.
Williams Sonoma and others such as Amazon:

You put whole coffee beans in the top, grinds the beans per cup with a burr grinder, and your choice of coffee is produced very quickly!
Seen at many breakfast buffets. Etc. I got hooked at a previous company that had them. Patented process makes coffee as strong as you like without the bitter acidity.

I guess the same could be said for any food recipes, wordle or game posts I see here.
I see it as part of the RVing experience….

Are you serious? The question applies to owning any RV, in fact, because it's about cleaning up after making coffee without getting coffee grounds down into our gray tanks, which however you may feel, lots of people don't want to do -- and this just happens to be a Winnebago forum. So...maybe chill out just a bit. Yeesh.

Ah, ok I see. I was thinking that "bean to cup" was a brand name or something. So fancy! Very nice.

I think this is a fun thread!

Thx! Recently retired and figured after getting all my house maintenance set for the foreseeable future, I would get the small daily items set, like new shower (twice as wide) and excellent coffee without leaving the house.
Ya gotta know how to live!

The pursuit of clean tanks with no problems would seem to rank the highest in RVing satisfaction.

 

[Wmlunt-WO]

Of course the cleanest would be instant coffee or the teabags with coffee inside I used way back, but the coffee quality was so poor I would just skip it!

[Joe & Sabine]

Well, I guess there's a lot of coffee connoisseurs out there! We use a basic drip coffee maker at home, even though we make our coffee quite strong and like to turn our coffee into more of a late by warming and frothing the milk we use. But... for the RV I couldn't wait to purchase a real nostalgic perculator. It was the first coffee maker I owed after we got married, bought at a rummage sale. Not sure what happend to that one, that was 44 years ago , but I found one just like it.
We love the perculated coffee, it works great on the stove in the RV even if we don't have electric or the generator on and it can even go on the grill or fire outside. I pour our cups and then transfer the remainder into a thermos.

Right? I tested out the teabag method the other day. You'd think it should work as well as a French Press, but alas it doesn't. Boooo.

 

[Pointyears]

Just know that those do run-away, water in pot will not help! The additional load will slow it some maybe, but better to unplug!

At home it's plugged into an Apple airplay AC adapter which is set to turn off every morning at 8am in case I forget to. I'm covered.

I have been following this thread and it really makes my use of the drip coffee maker seem old fashion next to the stove top percolator.

If I understand the use off the different methods you folks have posted are all ONE cup methods is that correct? If thats true then how many times do you all have to make a fresh cup of coffee?
To me just being able to pour a cup of coffee from the pot is easier with less clean up than what you folks are talking about.

Either way we each enjoy the cup of joe in many different ways

We are at 2-5 cups max consumption a day. I typically drink two cups of high test first thing in the morning. My MIL has a cup of decaf in the morning and occasionally in the afternoon. My third cup is usually mild morning, if I have it at all. We have been using a K-cup machine of one sort or another for the past 15 years, mainly for the convenience. I want to get away from the disposable pods as much as possible. The reusable pods were a step in the right direction.

The Aeropress looks like an additional step in the right direction. I can always come up with a way to boil water. Somewhere in my collection of stuff I have a home made solar water heater. IIRC it won't boil it, but it comes close. I also have a Kelly Storm Kettle, it will boil water on a handfull of small sticks. Then there is this solar heater.

Regardless, I WILL have my morning cuppa Joe.

By the way, if I spent a half-million on a motor home I would see no issue with couple thou on a supreme coffee maker. The dry grounds are collected in a bin which pulls out with the drip tray. Very easy to dispose of by tossing in the trash, and since this is not in the coffee making stream does not have to be completely cleaned every time, can collect multiple times before signal to empty.
Comes out as hockey puck like the AeroPress, but much drier.

A #4 Melita pour over filter sitting on 10 cup thermos insulated carafe. We have an electric kettle when plugged in or when we can run the generator, and a stove top kettle as a backup. Makes great coffee that stays hot for a few hours. We also have an AeroPress for when we just need a cup to get us going.

 

[RayIN]

I drop in a pod of Tim Hortons and push the brew button on our Cuisinart. When I want coffee, I want coffee, not to tinker around with something.

 

[RV_Lee]

At home, we make our coffee in a French Press. Doing the same poses a bit of hassle in the RV, though, because it means having to wipe the carafe totally clean with a paper towel before washing it -- to avoid rinsing any coffee grounds down the sink and into our gray tank. We've thought about switching to filters and drip, for ease of cleanup -- but don't think this will produce as good of coffee as the French Press can. So, I ask.... how do YOU make your coffee in the RV? Are there any secret or otherwise unknown-to-me methods that we should be trying out?

I use a french press most of the time depending where parked, I just rinse the screen while also filling up the press with water, you have to use a spoon to stir it up and then quickly go outside and toss. It make take 2 rinses to get all the grinds out and none go down the drain.

Obviously you can't do this in a parking lot or tight RV park - in those cases I just use a drip w/ filter.

I'm a coffee snob so my RV system is the same as my home system!
Moccamaster Coffee Maker
Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder
Single Source Natural Ethiopian Beans

Only clean up is the paper filter to the trash can...easy peasey....

Safe Travels and enjoy your morning joe! Life is short....
