Coffee machine

[Nick555]

I've been planning which coffee machine to get for our forthcoming RP Rebel. There's not a lot of space & we love our coffee! If I can squeeze the machine onto a countertop, what is the best method to keep it in place when travelling?

If you're really stuck for space, try an Aeropress. https://www.aeropress.co.uk

l have the Krupps Mini Nespresso machine which is very small but quite brilliant, l have it secured with the tape linked below, it’s really held solid small strip underneath and a tiny strip on the side were the machine touches a wall.It can be removed when and if necessary.

First thing, you're driving your motorhome so not speed Round corners and no heavy braking or acceleration.

The coffeemaker should have a 'low centre of gravity. ' good non slip feet as well.

My toaster sits, unsecured, on the workspace, it has never moved when driving.

Stove top Moka pot. I love mine so much (stainless) that I use one at home too.

Thank you, a good link!

The machine I want has a water container on the back. The machine has to be moved outwards slightly to refill the water container.

I was thinking more of some sort of strap?

Thanks, but it's an off road machine. Everything will need to be tied or stuck down.

Not very elegant, but what about those straps that hold a gas bottle?

I have a bean to cup machine at home, in the van I use a Moka pot with my favourite ground coffee in it. I buy my coffee from Pollards and having decent coffee makes all the difference.

The Krups has a wat container on the back.

You are intending to be only using it on EHU then!

Us too, the one in the van I bought in Annecy in 1992 & we have two in the house large & small.

Another vote for a stove top mocha pot. It's what many Italian families use at home. Ours is a stainless steel Baletti. The aluminium ones seem to corrode after a while.

Thanks, I don't have a gas bottle, do you have a link please?

Thank you

3kVA inverter onboard. I hope that's enough? I've spec'd the full off-grid kit.

I will try out the coffee, but we're used to a high end machine & coffee at home (Sage Oracle Touch), we're slumming it with Nespresso for the convenience. We drink espresso only, I don't think a pot can do espresso?

We used to run our Nespresso from a 2kw Sterling PSW inverter.

Thanks, the idea is good, perhaps I will look for some luggage straps.

I'd be a bit worried about where it might end up in an accident if it was heavy. We go for the stove pot mocca as well can't see the attraction in the pod machines less faff but more waste more expensive to use less green etc.

That's why I'm trying to figure the best way to tie it down. I find the Nespresso capsules to be the best of a bad bunch, although I'd prefer bean to cup like our home machine, they are just too big. FWIW The Nespresso capsules are aluminium & 100% recycled.

I have a delonghi bean to cup at home and I use an Aeropress in the MH. You would be surprised at how good a cup of coffee it makes and clean up is easy.

We have one of these in the van it just sits on a non slip mat ...never moved in about 6000 miles

How does this work? I don't quite get how much cups you would get out of one fill. If you just have 2 cups does the rest get wasted?

Buy the appropriate size for your needs
They come in 2 or 4 or 6 cup sizes
But then is your cup the same size as their cup?

I use the mug to measure the right amount of water to put into the base of the Moka pot. I have found 3 teaspoons of ground coffee makes about the right strength for my mug for me

The cup size is an espresso cup. We find a 4 cup one a bit small for two of us. It depends how you like your coffee if you like it less strong you could add some boiled water.

The instructions made it sound like the coffee container had to be full to the brim everytime. I'll have to try it out!
