Holiday Rental Essentials - Coffee Makers
I wouldn't say that I can't function without coffee in the morning, but I definitely wake up and look forward to a cup. In fact, I sometimes look forward to my morning cup of coffee when I am going to bed the night before...
Everyone has their own preferred method of making coffee, so for this week's post of holiday rental essentials I am just going to suggest that a place should provide some means of making coffee (and instructions if necessary).
Out of interest - what method do you prefer? I have a Nespresso machine at home so I usually use that. However, I normally take a cafetiere (aka French press or plunger) when I go to a holiday rental as we have been caught out too many times with nothing.
The Paris-based American pastry chef / food writer David Lebovitz wrote an interesting post on his blog about things he takes when he is a guest at someone's place. It was fascinating to read all of the reader's comments that followed his lengthy list of 'essentials'. David likes to take a moka pot to make coffee. Many of his readers said they also took those, or other methods of making coffee.
We might look at all of the items that people wrote about in that post another day. One reader said they go as far as to take a can of WD-40 so they can fix any squeaky doors!
As MP wrote in her post last week - it could be nice for a holiday rental to include a packet of coffee in a welcome pack as well as a list of local cafes.
Next summer - wherever we end up going - I think I might try the cold brew method of making iced coffee. It sounds easy and delicious. I've bookmarked this recipe from Kitchen Treaty.
Let us know your thoughts. Are you happy with instant coffee? Perhaps you prefer tea? Or do you think holiday rentals should provide a particular piece of coffee-making apparatus?
