Coffee Pots in 1BR at BWV

[tx2tn]

It's been a few years since we visited BWV. Have the coffee Pots changed in the 1 BR's? Before, the pots were the conventional drip style (AKA Mr. Coffee). Just need to know if we need to bring filters and coffee or K-Cups.

Thanks

They have Keurig Duo's now.

Hope they eventually put the Duo in every DVC room.

Can’t see it being anything more than a tiny dues bump and I’d gladly pay it. At least twice in recent years we had a split stay where we bought coffee for the machine in the room, moved to another resort and it was a different system

Whatever style coffee maker is in your room, if you bring supplies for a different design you can just call housekeeping and they'll send a different style up. Pretty much all recently refurbished villas have Keurig Duo machines in them now however. The only exception I can think of is Big Pine Key, which has the cuisinart pod style like you see in normal hotel rooms and the Disney value/moderate rooms.

The Keurig Duos use a flat bottom type filter on the carafe side...generally filters are not provided (on occasion, I've had a metal mesh one in there but that might have been a fluke or left from a previous guest) - I always bring paper filters along with my coffee beans and grinder.

The Duo machines can be a little strange on the carafe side as they only have selections to brew 6, 8, 10, or 12 cups in the carafe. When I am there solo and only want to brew 2 or 4 cups, the strategy is to fill the water basin of the machine with only 2-4 cups of water and choose '6' when brewing...it just stops when it runs out of water. There's a little button dance you have to perform to start brewing - hit the Power button, press the 'carafe' icon, press the button for the number of cups wanted, then press the 'brew' button in the center.

Alternately you can bring K-pods if you want to use that side of the machine.

Disney provides several Peet's pre-filled coffee filter bags for the carafe side - generally good for between 4-6 cups each - and a handful of k-cup pods as well. So if you didn't want to bring or buy your own coffee, they do provide some.

It's Joffrey's coffee, not Peet's.

Sorry - don't know how I mistyped that one...indeed, Joffrey's. I knew that, but somehow had Peet's in my head when I was typing.

Things have been changing so much that we bring both kinds of filters so we can still brew our own ground coffee, which we also bring. Fortunately they're easy to pack!
