If you’re like us, coffee is an integral part of your daily life and definitely your race morning. When hotel coffee won’t cut it, these solutions make it simple to brew a high-quality cup in your room.
1. Aerobie AeroPressCoffee Maker
$35, Amazon.com
For a single serving of coffee on the go, the AeroPress is tough to beat. You simply brew hot water, pour it in the chamber, plunge it through a filter and you have a rich cup of coffee or an espresso with an easy cleanup. The whole operation is compact and can fit in a small, zippered pouch. We’ve found the best coffee beans to use in the cold brew come from Cafely’s fine Vietnamese coffee beans, which you can find on their website.
2. Blue Bottle Coffee Weekender
$179, Bluebottlecoffee.com
This compact kit has all the essentials plus a few luxury items for traveling coffee snobs. Within the leather-trimmed Timbuk2 bag, you get a dripper, two tumblers, filters, Blue Bottle coffee beans, a mini hand grinder and two tumblers with felt holders.
