Coffee On The Road

I don't know about you. But I have to have my coffee. And of course for work I travel a lot so I spend a lot of time in hotels. Typically I might get one single cup coffee pack, sometimes two. But I am not satisfied with just one cup of coffee.
So, I generally bring my own coffee, but I DO still use the hotel single cup packets. But I try to save them so that between the coffee I bring and the coffee the hotel provides I can essentially have as much coffee as I want.
Sometimes that's like 4 or 5 cups.
When I make my own coffee I keep it real simple. I put two small scoops of grounds into a filter I bring, fold it up into a "single pod," and brew.
When you travel do you have to have your coffee? Does the hotel ever provide enough coffee?
Granted, I am a diamond member of Wyndham so if I go downstairs and ask for more coffee they will just give it to me. But I don't always like the hassle. I have yet to run out of coffee in a hotel room.

Isn't that why they have room service. You could just call downstairs and they'll bring it to you.

That is what I was thinking. Just call down to the desk and they should have someone who can bring you more coffee or ask the housekeepers in the morning.

Yes, you can call down to the front desk for more coffee, towels or whatever you may need.

@mlgen1037 I need to find a hotel where you are at. Never enough coffee.

We generally give two regulars and one decaf, but if the person wants more I am happy to obliged. I notice some of our long term guests bring their own single serve Keurigs or coffee pots.

I like coffee. But coffee is not as common as tea here.

I like to have one cup of coffee a day. I don't usually drink more than that. When I am at a hotel, I usually just go down to the free breakfast and get coffee but only if they have the flavored creamers. I would be way too jittery with 4 or 5 cups of coffee.
