The best coffee for travel and hotel rooms
Drip bags are the lightest way to drink real, freshly-brewed coffee on the road — no machine, no pods, no grinder. All you need is hot water from a kettle (most hotel rooms have one) and a mug. Hang the bag on the rim, pour 150 ml for a balanced cup, and you're done in three minutes. They're flat, sealed, and TSA-friendly, so a week's worth fits in a jacket pocket.Adjust bags and strength above for the mug you've got.

How do you make drip bag coffee in a hotel room?
Boil water in the room kettle, hang the drip bag on your mug, bloom with a splash, then pour about 150 ml in stages. Lift the bag out after 2.5–3 minutes.
