At POR, can you call housekeeping for a Mr. Coffee machine?

[Jillpie]

Or do you have to settle for what is in the room? thanks!

You'll have to settle for what's in the room.

 

[Jillpie]

Okay, have you ever tried to ask before and they said no?

 

[Hopefully]

Why would you think they even have them?

 

[Jillpie]

Honestly, because I'm a DVC member, and every time we call for one at Beach Club Villas, they bring us one (they have both tiny ones, and bigger ones). I just didn't know if moderates did the same.

Villas have coffeemakers in the rooms. Why do you have to call for one?


Non-villas have a totally different coffee thing going on.

Apparently they have a preference for Mr Coffee? lol

Because the last two trips, they just had one of those teeny tiny ones, enough for one cup maybe? I'm not sure why they keep them, they're silly. On the upside, they brought us a brand new Mr Coffee both times . I think i'll just stop at a Walmart before we come and pick one up, no biggie.

What DVC villa had the small ones? I have never seen one of the small ones in a DVC room in the 15 years we have owned.

BCV. But the great thing was, they brought a brand new bigger machine, both trips.

The Moderate resorts don't have large coffee makers, so they won't have one to bring you. DVC resorts have them which is why you were able to request one.

 

[Jillpie]

okay thank you, just what I was looking for.

That's because it was a Villa, where they have such things. Moderates are not Villa properties and they don't have such things on hand and aren't going to go to a Villa to get one for you. Your idea of stopping to buy one is a good one. If you can't survive on what is provided in the room.
But you do know they will give you as many of the coffee pods as you want. You can only drink one at a time so it's never bothered us to make one at a time

 

[Jillpie]

Thanks, yes I tried the coffee two weeks ago in a stay at the Caribbean Beach, and I'm completely spoiled by my Keurig coffee. I'll just bring my own ground Starbucks, and bring my own machine, thanks everyone.

One other option, in case you haven't tried them, the Via pods. I personally am not a fan but lots of folks seem to think they are very good. Then you can use just the water from the machine in the room.
But then again, I think Joffrey's and Starbucks taste a whole lot alike. I just use less water when I make the coffee

We use the Via all the time when we travel. It comes in a smallish, easy to store/easy to tear tube.

Good idea, are they the ones that fit in the POR coffee machines?

Because they don't want you in the room drinking "free" coffee and not spending money. They want you to buy the mug, buy the coffee, book a breakfast, get on in that park and spend for Joffrey's or Starbucks or Disney brand. $$$$

Lol, truth!

You can use Via with pretty much any maker, regular, pod or Keurig. I've used Via with all of them. I run water through the machine, discard before my first use. Then make a cup of hot water. You tear the little tube and add the powder. It's Starbucks, comes in a variety of flavors. We like Pike's place. I don't find it has the bitterness or ickiness of "regular" old fashioned instant coffee.
You can add creamer/sugar as you like. Very portable, and great for travel.
