I wouldn't order regular coffee because I can't drink it. Why that seems to amuse you, I have no idea.

At a restaurant or coffee bar that doesn't have an espresso maker, I'd just order hot tea.

I grew up with mom boiling coffee in an old speckled pot but today we use the Keurig both at home in in the trailer... I love my Community Chicory coffee and the DW uses one of the donut brands...

We do use the small single cup Keurig in the trailer because it can be emptied completely of water for storage...

We use a drip coffee maker, in both the house and trailer, RO filtered water in the house and bottled water in the camper. Both coffee makers have stainless steel, vacuum, carafes and we grind dark roasted Sumatran beans from Costco.

The DW and I think it is really good coffee and friends that stay with us seem to enjoy it too.

If we are boon-docking I run the generator in the morning to make toast or english muffins and brew the coffee as well and charge the batteries.

This has nothing to do with preventative maintenance. De-scaling has nothing to do with disinfection. You cannot disinfect a Kuerig without ruining it.

You guys need to take a good look at your Kuerig and not just the reservoir. Just gets flashlight and look around where you put the kcup. You'll get a hint of how bad it can get.

Or not...

I should also add that we rarely drink local water or use it for anything other that cooking and washing. We use bottled water unless we were caught not having any. Rare at best. Local water intake was more from being out to dinner and getting a glass of water with a meal but even that was not common.
Where you put the K cup is where the emphasis needs to focus. Removing the K cup after brewing so the that area can dry out is important. Bad things need warmth and moisture to grow.

For the Keurig folks, if you haven't already, try Peet's Major Dickason's blend. Peet's in general is so much better than Starbuck's...both quality and politically wise.

I get a pot (big one) boiling, fill a white sock with grounds and put it in the water. Strength is determined by how long it boils. Taste is determined on how long the sock was worn. Always use white unless you like colored coffee.

That's right. Kolorado is a pot state now.

Jetfixer, did you ever imagine your thread would go this far afield? I can hardly wait for someone to ask how everyone grills, cooks, fries, microwaves or bakes their cheeseburgers.....(and I did like the one about the socks)

I go simple. Boil water and dump in a Starbucks instant VIA packet. You'd never know it was instant coffee.

NoI didn't. I had to laugh when i just popped in and saw the number of responses.

The gf and I did a Walmart run today to stock the new rig a bit. Rugs, towels, plates, glasses, silverware, etc. It's a start. I'm itching to get this baby on the road! I think I may gamble and dewinterize this week and do some driveway camping. :-)

I installed one of these almost five years ago, and it has been great. Mounted it under the cabinet in the kitchen of our rig, and it makes good coffee and rides very well. https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-...KT7VTN385W02EG

Yes I would. Tried it. Didn't like it and SB is crossed off my list, anyway.

Well if I only have a sock that's been worn for two weeks would the stink and the sweat make the coffee have a nice musty flavor to it? Would it also make it smell like the woods? This sounds like a great project for me!
