Before leaving for a three week Eurotrip to the ITU Worlds Triathlon (Lausanne) and Duathlon (Zofingen) championships, I frantically searched for a good coffee maker to take with me on a trip. Lots of great suggestions came out of the previous morning coffee discussion such as getting a portable electric kettle and a manual grinder.

I wanted to keep the coffee setup as portable and as light as possible. After some research I bought the Cafflano Klassic and used it for the entire three weeks. Every morning I would grind beans and pour a fresh cup, while traveling across Switzerland, France and Germany. It worked well, but definitely required some willpower and patience to grind the beans. But the pour over coffee was reliably great and way better than Americano's I've tried at local coffee shops.

Here is my review of the Cafflano Klassic after 3 weeks of using it:

Took this shot before grinding morning coffee on a window porch in Zofingen:



Having my own small electric kettle turned out to be much better than I anticipated. It was faster to boil water and easier to pour from it.

Have I missed a good alternative pour over coffee maker?
