This thread has made realize I need to look into brewing options of my own, especially for MK trips

At 5:45 pm I finally got my floofy coffee. Except there was no floof because I didn’t see this sign…. Well I saw the sign but only read the title and thought it was a special drink

Well we are at HS studios today and this just happened to my coffee.

For how important coffee is to you, I think it's worth it for you to get an owners locker with whatever you need. Even if you literally only use it for coffee stuff, I think it'll be worth it. There aren't many pleasures in life and coffee seems to bring you joy.

It really does.

The most important thing in my OL is my brita pitcher. That alone makes a big difference for in-room coffee.

Round 2! Same latte just iced. The iced is much better than hot.

Since we seem to have a gathering here of coffee experts and/or junkies, has anyone tried these? DH doesn’t do hot drinks at all, so I tend to rely on k-cups for park days when I know there’s no point in brewing a whole pot. But these seem like a good option to get a slightly better brew…

Looks like a good idea, never seen those before. I have seen the stainless steel ones.

These are like the stuff what we use, I posted a picture above. I feel like it brews a pretty good cup of coffee, better than a k-cup. The brand we like, Copper Cow, also sells some packets of a sweetened condensed milk-like creamer which are also nice.

I love that we can fill these with our own grounds from home. Great find!

It was your post that started me down the rabbit hole. I like the idea of the Copper Cow ones, but I’m a light roast gal so I was looking on Amazon for CC’s competitors and these DIY filters came up in the suggestions. So thanks, it was technically you that was responsible for the find.

Today I tried Contemporary Grounds. Not amazing, somewhat weak. But it was actually nice since I think I needed something weak this morning.

Later in the day I got my good ole standby at Epcot and a super fun cup.

I love that and thank you as well for the awesome detective work. I ordered those filters yesterday and they arrived same day. They're awesome!

I read a pp few pages back talking about water. I can 100% confirm water is a key ingredient. We have 2 sites on opposite ends of the city. We have the same machine drip machine, same coffee (even stock the one from the other). They only difference is water from one location to the other. I can not drink the coffee at our south location. I even tried swapping machines,,,same result.
FYI I like my coffee black, I have both types of Nespresso and like both equal for different reasons. Original small pods are goto for espresso, and Verto for full size cup if that is what I want that day. I have not been able to find a kcup I like, so I gave up,,too watery for me.
Now best coffee I every had was when I was in Tanazania, hands down, then Hawaii and Greece came tied for 2nd. Something about the pour over, little oily coffee. Need to get to Morocco and try theirs.

Funny aside for those who hate Joffrey's. Personally I don't mind them - they're not the World's best, but compared to what Disney had before them, they're like royalty. Joffrey's signed on as official supplier in 2013, and had been around as specialty supplier from the mid-90s. But before that, Disney's coffee was supplied by Nescafe. The same instant coffee famous from WWII. It was awful. I literally could not drink coffee when I went to Disney unless it was one of the few restaurants that did their own bean...everything else throughout the parks and resorts was Nescafe instant.

It's that memory of the horrible Nescafe instant coffee that makes be avoid Nespresso - just the name itself is too close, even though the Nespresso machines use real ground coffee...I am thinking about instant coffee whenever I see the 'Nes' in the name.

Quoted for truth. I remember those days. <shudder>
