Coffee on the road - Travel kit

My travel kit should be in its final form at this point. You can choose between AeroPress, espresso-style AeroPress, and regular drip coffee. All fits in one small waterproof bag from Skog Å Kust. I sometimes also pack cups depending on the destination.

The first rule of good coffee brewing is to grind when you brew, which is why I carry a manual grinder.

You will need access to boiling water.

• AeroPress, the main brewing method, avoid the AeroPress Go because the Fellow Prismo doesn't fit, and it's bulky.

• Fellow Prismo, when you want a more espresso-style beverage.

• Porlex Mini, a small but mighty grinder that fits inside the plunger of the AeroPress!

• Basic Scale, or any accurate and fast scale really, get one that goes to at least 1kg so you can make substantial drips.

• AeroPress filters, and Altura Disc if you like it. It's a little messier than paper filters, but useful if you run out of paper filters or don't want to carry them.

• Miir Pourigami or Munieq Tetra portable drippers. The Snow Peak Field Barista is a tighter fit because it doesn't fold flat, but still workable.

• Optionally, you can also carry a thermometer, if you need or want accuracy.

• Skog Å Kust DoppSåk - Small, really well built and inexpensive, there's even some space left for beans.

...and I don't know if it's dirty secret or not but Starbucks Via Instant Cold Brew is pretty good in a pinch
