Stretching Hotel Coffee

RE: Stretching Hotel Coffee Post By Maggie Arsenault (Guest Post) (07/12/2006) Thanks for the ideas about hotel coffee and how to strech but as many have said its not necessary as the house keepers dont mind giving extra and i always bring a coffee can from home and my scoop and throw away the messy filter into some thing else as those small plastic trash bags are usless an empty cup with a lid works great.

Call Housekeeping and ask if you could get an extra pkt of coffee or two. I'm sure they would be more than happy to bring it right to your room! I wouldn't see the reason to go to the extra trouble of running water through grounds twice. We usually mix the reg and decaf together to get a pot that is half the caffeine which is what we drink at home. How considerate of the guest poster on 1-31-05 to bring a baggie for grounds disposal. Usually the little trash cans have plastic liners at the places we stay but if not I usually have a plastic grocery bag or perhaps a disposable plastic cup, something like that and will dipose of the grounds that way. I never try to make more work for the maid! RE: Stretching Hotel Coffee (bring your own) Post By (Guest Post) (01/31/2005) Since hotel coffee pots are usually small, and the filter basket is small also, I just take a few of my own filters and cut them down to size (cut off about 1 inch around the top) at home and bring a bit of my own coffee along in a small tupperware container. Bring your coffee scoop so you know how much you need for 4 cups and voila, you have home brewed coffee right in your room. I also bring a baggie to put the coffee grinds/filter in so I can dispose of it in the hotel room garbage without a mess for the maid.
