Question Grind and Brew Coffee Makers?

[Neal]

Coffee in the coach (or S&B) part deux - time to part with the Keurig? I'm looking for something that I can put my freshroastedcoffee.com stock of coffee beans into, it grinds and brews preferably single serve for great coffee. Any suggestions?

This one seems to be at top of the reviews:

I'm also looking at this new Keurig

I bought a ”Keurig K-slim” model for the coach. I’d like to have fresh ground and brewed and toy with the idea of espresso, but so far the Keurig has been good enough.

Had either a Breville or Krups grind and brew years ago, worked well but large.

if you go that route a burr grinder is better than the blade type for grinding the beans.

We have this one that is headed to the coach currently. Instant™ Dual Pod Plus Coffee Maker

When we want regular we use the k-cup side. When I want espresso just use the original Nespresso pod side.

Has worked well for us.

Holding off for now. Reviews on both the grind and brew (Breville) and the new Keurig are concerning. The new Keurig sounds like it does better but I'd want to use the K cup that allows me to put my own coffee in and the new style seems painful. Still trying to find that best brew, so far my french press is the favorite, continuing my journey to find the best coffee for me.

I’ll be using a plastic Hario dripper. It looks just like the ceramic one I use at home. I also got a small hand grinder (Hario) to make coffee on the road.

OK, @Neal; time to go big or go home! Look at the Jura machines. They make great coffee drinks and are durable.

We’ve had a Jura Impressa J9 for several years at the sticks-and-bricks and a Jura ENA Micro 5 in the motorhome. Both make great, fresh-ground beans coffee.

The Micro 5 is compact, and works great in smaller spaces. Ours is now at the new sticks-and-bricks after retiring from RV service and—as I type—I’m drinking a cup of Organic Bali Blue Moon it just made. When we sell our other sticks-and-bricks, it will Join Lil’ Brother down here.

Yeah, they are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for—and, you can’t take it with you!

Looks great @TJ&LadyDi but I'm more of a 10oz at a time coffee drinker (2 x 10 oz each morning) vs. espresso.

Looks great @TJ&LadyDi but I'm more of a 10oz at a time coffee drinker (2 x 10 oz each morning) vs. espresso.

No problem; the bigger Jura machines are programmable for cup size. Our J9 Impressa is set to deliver 10-oz cups at the touch of a button.

Ya’ gotta try harder than that, @Neal

I'll have to do better on my homework. I'll check out the J9 and hope it has an IV drip too

Since I did not see where you have made a decision Neil, I am suggesting this: Stanley French Press.

Just in case you actually wanted to leave the Newmar behind and actually go CAMPING, not Glamping. You can heat the water on a campfire. You will need a small hand grinder (not electric) to grind your beans.

Simple hand grinder and drip cup is our preferred RV setup. At home we use an electric grinder and a Moccamaster

I like to be personally involved with coffee.
40 a simple hand grinder
30 water kettle with thermometer
30 hario V60 02 size (I prefer ceramic)
20 hario 02 filters
30 scale (1 g coffee to 20g water (play with ratio to suit your self)

that's all you need
look on youtube for the finer aspecs of making pour over coffee.
Always let brewed cup sit (covered) for approx. 10 minutes before drinking.
you are brewing @ 205*, but drink @ 140*

Has worked well for us.

Went with a Ninja that does pods, grounds, and has options for cold brew.

Ninja Pods & Grounds Single-Serve... Amazon.com

Has worked quite well and is much smaller that our previous pot.

Since I like ground coffee instead of pods I like the brewing over grounds option.

It has a permanent filter but those are a hassle to clean.

Found these filters that go in the permanent filter and work well with easy cleanup.

Very good! Most people don't get what they do to themselves using bleach. Unbleached is the way to go! I use the filter on the expresso maker. A simple wipe out and ready for the next cup.

Totally agree!
We've had numerous Keurig machines over the years and they've all crapped out after a year or two.
Tried Cuisinart and Hamilton Beach brands--same!
Finally, I have a machine that works every time, doesn't lime up anywhere near as often, and makes a great, customizable cup of coffee or tea!
I have this one but the second one looks good too.
