That's so cool! Such a good idea to carry your own french press and bean. Hotel coffee usually sucks! My wife and I really enjoy coffee (especially her!). We are planning to get a new coffee pot in the next few days and now I think we may have to get a french press too, lol.
A fresh cup of coffee in the morning is truly amazing lol.
French press or aeropress are great options but french press is cheaper. The only thing that worries me when I carry it is breaking the french press. Thank you for the tip and don't forget to share your new coffee pot when you get one. I am always up to spend an extra money for coffee stuff xD and I love reading coffee tools recommendation.
