5 Ways To Make Delicious Coffee On The Road

No matter where we are in the world, or on the road, coffee is a non-negotiable ritual and comfort for most of us. It’s our trusty companion on long travel days, it energizes us for a full day of adventures, and it’s the best way to enjoy a quiet, slow morning overlooking a beautiful landscape.

Making coffee on the road hasn’t always been so accessible, but now there are a number of ways to brew a rich and fragrant cup while traveling.

Whatever method you choose, make sure you …


The Merchant of Venice

Portia (Act IV - Scene I)

The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'T is mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown:
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.
