What Coffee Machine do you have in your van?

Are there any really compact coffee machines that will still make a full size cup?

Space is always a premium in my van, finding one that's small enough to fit in a storage cubby would be great!

At present if I want a cup, the fastest way is to get the jetboil out, fill that and let it boil, etc.

Now I have a 2000w inverter it'd be nice to be able to knock out a cup quickly when I'm at a parkup and just need a coffee before moving on!

An Aeropress Go and a small travel kettle? If you get lucky the Go might fit in the kettle...

Yeah that's also an option, I was hoping something might exist that also creates little steam and is nice and easy to do when I'm half asleep having just woken up, and don't want to advertise that there's someone in the van :D

The challenge there is a machine is either going to use steam pressure to pump the water through the coffee or one of the noisy solenoid pumps.

I keep a stainless steel thermos in the kitchen pod so if I know I need a quick brew I can stash hot water from the motel or where I can have the gas stove out.

I might be black balled from the coffee club but in those situations I normally boot my brain with a decent stick of instant coffee so I'm awake enough to make a coffee I enjoy :whistle:
 
Yeah tbh I'm going to be picking up an induction hob anyway so I think induction, a kettle and instant coffee will be fine - it's just when I need a hit of caffeine before I can actually start to function. :rofl:

Blasphemy!! :rofl:
 
If you are going induction then this is my daily drive at home coffee wise - an induction compatible espresso pot from John Lewis

As a recent instant-coffee-to-espresso convert, I use one of these on the induction hob...
