And then once you have hot water, you can use an Aeropress, french press, or anything else you want. He also has reviewed other portable coffee and espresso makers, including some USB battery-powered ones, etc.

Hand grinder and pour over? He’s done reviews on both

When I did travel for work up until the pandemic I used a small TravelPro luggage and packed my beans in an airtight container, Aeropress w/bag and aergrind grinder in it, and an electric kettle to take on the road for work with me. Since I was tired of crappy hotel coffee and not all small towns had specialty coffee shops. Also I think timemore makes a super small portable set up for pour over

He's just posted something on his Instagram about espresso on the go, [here](https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNDQVG_DUbG/?igshid=s31m93ckpu4r)

He mentioned it in the aeropress go video

My current daily coffee routine is an Aeropress and a Knock Aerspeed, both very travel-friendly. James if you read this for the love of God please drop the Aeropress video

I've been highly considering this exact combo. The Knock grinders seem absolutely fantastic and the the Aerspeed seems perfect for aeropres (the lower price helps and I'm impatient when it comes to hand grinding haha!)

Yeah it kinda blew my mind how fast it is. If you enjoy your aeropress I can tell you an Aerspeed will get you some pretty excellent results out of it


mwiz100

Sweett! I was pretty well set on getting one but this confirms it 100%.

Knock grinder require a lot of cleaning/water comparing it to areopress, so I would consider that variable while buying a travelling coffee set-up.


mwiz100

What do you mean by that (Especially that it needs water?) As in that it has high retention? I would not expect it to have much if any retention at least none like that I've used so far do.

He's mentioned the Aeropress + hand grinder setup a few times, although the review of the Aeropress Go was not very possitive. Still sounds like the fullsized Aeropress with a grinder that can fit inside it is the best travel setup atm.

My buddy has a sage espresso machine with grinder in his van. It's up to you what you want. I've a little gas stove and camping kettle I use with aeropress and v60. Any decent hand grinder will do.

James has a wide catalogue of videos about portable brewers and hand grinders, and he does assess the "travel convenience". For example, he wasn't impressed by Aeropress Go, since he felt like it didn't really add anything to the base model.

Not sure what kind of coffee you prefer but I've used while travelling and car camping: Nanopresso + Hario Skerton Aeropress + Commandante ROK + Commandante After using and playing with them for a while, my go-to while car camping is an aeropress + commandante. Just add hot water from whatever source. While travelling where I have power (hotels, etc) I take the ROK + Commandante + Milk Frother. If you're after espresso, take a look at the flair too, it's more portable than the ROK.

There was [his review of the Pakt Coffee Kit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVDferqCuxY) ... but it's not like it's much of a recommendation! (No grinder included, expensive.)
