Build a Portable Coffee Kit to Save Money and Enjoy Better Brew While Traveling

If you love your coffee as much as I do, traveling sucks when you know the only coffee you'll have access to is burned or been-on-the-warmer-for-12-hours convenience store drip. The folks at Mistobox suggest assembling a portable coffee "travel kit" to pack and take with you (along with some fresh beans!) so you're never without a quality cup.

Traveling can be hard and expensive enough. A little pre-planning can save your wallet and your sanity some hassle. The folks at Mistobox suggest packing a slim mill grinder, a stainless steel reusable filter, and an Aeropress (which we've raved about before) into a kind of coffee "go bag" that you stuff in your luggage when you hit the road. (Full disclosure: Mistobox sells the travel kit they describe, but it's cheaper to buy the components piecemeal on your own.) Of course, you'll need some beans too, and fold-over paper or opaque zipper bags are best to keep small amounts of coffee fresh.

With luck, the whole kit won't take up much space, and will pay for itself in savings from coffee shops. While they suggest shopping around for good coffee shops where you're going as well, the coffee kit makes sure you won't spend extra cash on coffee, and makes sure you'll have a cup you love anywhere you go, anytime.
