In-room Coffee makers, the Ultimate Thread

[hardcorestitch]

Last time I was at Dolphin (April 2025) the "flat pod" machines were the kind that had the disposable basket. They used to have Starbucks (which I hate) but now just have some generic coffee, not Joffrey's. I bring some extra pods so have to clean out the disposable basket and stick it in a drawer so housekeeping doesn't throw it away so I can make more than one cup a day. Yes, you can ask for more to be brought to your room but in the morning when I'm awake at 4:30, the two provided are not enough. I can't remember if you have to have the empty basket in the machine to make a cup of tea so the stream will come out even instead of all over the place.

Thats because Swolphin is a Marriott.

Well aware. Just wanted to point out they were no longer Starbucks for those who like it and also no Joffrey's for those who like that.

Deluxe Villas - AKL-J - conflicting reports, some rooms have old style basket coffee makers, some have Keurigs (sorry, I have no idea which are the majority)
Deluxe Villas - CCV, BLT - just finishing refurb, redone rooms seem to have Keurig Duos in *all* villas, not just the larger ones
Deluxe Villas - RIV - most rooms have old style basket coffee makers, Tower Studios have Keurigs

Note: AKL J & K are both scheduled for refurbs over the next year or so. If patterns hold, the refurbed rooms will get Keurigs as per the rest of the deluxes. Your trip dates and whether you get a refurbed room or not will dictate your type of coffee maker

*** at any resort where at least some rooms have Keurig machines (either regular or Duo) you can always ask for a Keurig from housekeeping and if they have a spare they’ll bring you one
*** the same applies if you need a larger or smaller basket style coffee maker, or if you have a single Keurig and need a Duo
