I've always thought that making "real" coffee is just too much trouble, but one of these coffee pod machines might just persuade me otherwise. http://www.singleservecoffee.com/

• Anyone used one before?
  
• Are they available in Thailand?
  

Any help appreciated

Seems a lot of expense/trouble just for one cup of coffee !

What about a "Plunger Pot" ? available in most department stores.

Naka.

If they would be available I would immediately buy one IF the pods are also available.

Makes delicious coffee.

You can also use a regular coffee maker to make a pot (several cups) and pour the extra into a thermos that will keep it warm for a long time. It will stay good long enough that you could pour it into a cup a day or so later and heat it up with a microwave.

Another option would be a French press, or coffee press, (they come in single cup and multi-cup sizes). They make best use of slightly courser ground than a drip but the result is the best. If you have the press and the coffee, you can use hot water from those water heaters the instant coffee lovers use. The nice thing about this is that it works well on a trip if you know you won't be able to get fresh coffee at the hotel.

I have the Nespresso C100 that uses the Nespresso capsules. They are not available in Thailand. You can go to the Nespresso web page for ordering and product info.

I have been touring a single cup cone & filter-papers for over 25 years and still use one thrice daily here in Phuket. Originally available from Melita:-

The last ones I bought for friends I got at Tesco/Lotus and or Big C for less than 100 baht I think. Brand name there is Suzuki (Blue & Green Pkt)

P.S. I make the best coffee around

Good for you.

However when I'm in Belgium I use the Senseo Pod machine and it's a different story altogether, much better coffee.

But as with many things one cannot discuss different tastes.

If you're happy with your coffee again good for you.
