We have a Nespresso coffee machine at home for our daily treat of a 'proper' coffee. Expensive I know, but nice coffee. Other than that SWMBO has her instant and I drink builder's tea.

Amazon and eBay are awash with 12v coffee makers - anyone got a firm favourite?

Thanks
 
when i want a coffee hit i put 3 teaspoons of Nescafe in an espresso cup and add hot water. give it a try !
 
i use a 1940's aluminium coffee pot on the gas hob which bubbles the water through a strainer on a stick inside the pot - it makes wonderful coffee and I just lurve the bubbling noises ....... small things..... I know.....:dance:

We have one of those as well, but don't forget that I fitted the PSW inverter just to run the Nespresso machine, such is our dependence on it...

I fitted the same inverter to run our Tassimo, it works a treat but I fitted an extra 150w of solar panel (250w in total) to make sure, if I had a taxi deliver a cup of coffee 5 times a day from Costa it might have worked out cheaper but we like to be independent:dog:.
We were buying Tassimo Coffee pods on offer for the equivalent of £5 for three packs in France, it costs £10 for three if it is on offer here, if we had been stopped in customs at Dover I would have had to declare 120 packs of coffee but with a saving of £200 for something that does not weigh anything and doesn't go off it paid for a tank of fuel and the ferry, at last my wine is even cheaper :dance:
 
:ninja: We have a cafetiere that we use - gives us a lovely pint or two of the black stuff 1st thing!

We've no hook-up and only enough battery power to recharge our phones :eek: same applies at home! lol

This is known as "kicking the *rse out of it"

Any fool can rough it.

We have a Tassimo, absolutely love it but we also use one of these Italian Coffee peculators which I presume is the same as Delicagirls

I also have an antique on my hands, can you show me a picture of yours:dog:

seriously, can you show a picture of yours as Mr Brown asked, very intriguing
 
I use a nespresso coffee machine and being Italian I cannot start my day if I do not have my fix, :shag::shag::shag::shag::shag::shag::shag:
