Reddit reviews Gourmia GK320 Travel Foldable Electric Kettle - Dual Voltage - Fast Water Boiling - Food Grade Silicone - Small, Collapsible, Portable - Boil Dry Protection - .5 Qt - 100v/120v and 220v/240v - White

I’m in Australia and all hotels have kettles. But when I travelled the US last year I knew this wouldn’t be the case so I bought this collapsible kettle from amazon. It was fantastic, made of silicon so it folded up very small, and boils water very quickly. It would fit in carry on, depending on what else you have. Dual voltage too so I can use it worldwide.

I just HAVE to have coffee in my hotel room and I don't trust the cleanliness of the coffee set up in most hotel rooms. I carry this dual voltage collapsable kettle for boiling water as I don't like the metallic taste left by EVERY infusion water heater I've used. Also, it gets too tedious to wait for one cup at t time when I travel with my husband: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MG7YLQG?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1&pf_rd_p=90cc9c48-c4b5-46f2-bc74-4c537b7e8d9a&pf_rd_r=XM2GKNHQNZZEWAJD619F&pd_rd_wg=CCmH1&pf_rd_s=desktop-huc-carousels&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_i=B01MG7YLQG&pd_rd_w=bbdUk&pf_rd_i=desktop-huc-carousels&pd_rd_r=61e1e125-b416-43a8-ac46-403370d9a019&ref_=pd_luc_rh_crh_rh_bxgy_02_04_t_img_lh Pour the water over this if I'm traveling by car or train and don't worry as much about packing restrictions because this works fast enough I can make one cup at a time: https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Single-Coffee-Dripper-Auto-Drip/dp/B01ENK41Q6/ref=pd_sbs_468_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01ENK41Q6&pd_rd_r=474c02f8-ec2c-11e8-9f7e-2132386dfc7d&pd_rd_w=GZbTh&pd_rd_wg=gpofm&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=NXGJZ38Y2WM70TPVQTY3&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=NXGJZ38Y2WM70TPVQTY3
Or I use these when I fly. Im usually making a cuppa for husband & I so with these I pour the water a little slower, going back & forth between the 2 cups: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HMP9SDZ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07HMP9SDZ&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=21517efd-b385-405b-a405-9a37af61b5b4&pd_rd_wg=dwQey&pf_rd_r=VBMTWV8Z4MM6T9YZ96NY&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_w=zE3jD&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pd_rd_r=3bd71eb0-ec2c-11e8-bbc4-8bb98d0238f1

I pack the coffee, tea, dry soup mix, sugar packets, etc around the "negative spaces" of the tea kettle in my little kit that I pack. I learned the hard way that most hotels in Europe (except the Americanized ones near airports) simply don't seem to have a coffee / tea set up in the room. If you can handle the taste of a hot water infusion device, get yourself a dual voltage one.

These look hopeful, I ordered some for my (4th) trip to Scotland next year. BTW, IF you do find a coffee set up in your room in the U.K., it will inevitably have packets of instant coffee which is...awful. I like these things because I can pre pack them, use them & toss them out so I don't have to wash, dry, pack the collapsible coffee drip base: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LI6QEZE/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A14N1JL0Z8P4B7&psc=1

And if we are on the run to get someplace, I just use my good old coffee press travel mug.

I cannot function without coffee in the morning. When I found out that one of the cheap hotels I had booked didn't have coffee maker in the room, or coffee available in the hotel at all, I had to act. https://www.amazon.com/Gourmia-GK320W-Travel-Foldable-Electric/dp/B01MG7YLQG

Gourmia Travel Kettle.

Picked up mine from a thrift store.

For daily travel, a vacuum insulated metal travel mug. Zoujirushi and KleanKanteen are both excellent, haven't had to replace either in 6+ years so far, except for a new silicone seal for the KleanKanteen. I request hot water from cafes and coffee shops, bringing my own cup usually means no charge for water. For longer trips when I have a little suitcase, a small collapsible electric kettle similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Gourmia-Travel-Foldable-Electric-Kettle/dp/B01MG7YLQG

I've had mine for a couple years so I don't remember if this is the exact one. Once folded down, it fits nicely in the lower right section (where the guy shows a full pour-over cone) if you have the handle toward the center of the bag over a section divider.

I'm kinda OCD about my coffee gear when I'm on the road after a couple horrible how bad can in-room coffee be for a few days ... And I have to have coffee before I can even step out my room in the morning.

I have this travel kettle and I'm fairly happy with it: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG7YLQG


I usually bring a hand grinder, as much beans as I expect to need, a small scale, and v60. It's not a compact setup, but it too inconvenient.

Yeah that would probably work pretty well. Alternatively I’ve seen people use these collapsible teapots for boiling their items on the go.

wait, this comes pretty close: https://www.amazon.com/Gourmia-Travel-Foldable-Electric-Kettle/dp/B01MG7YLQG

Neat. Do you guys sleep in vehicles without heat left on overnight?

Also what coffee pot do you have? I've looked online before for something small that will boil water and didn't see anything ideal.

I own a 1,500W inverter and may well 'hard-wire' it into my RAV4. Making coffee and having a cup-soup thing before heading home would be handy + we'd use it camping in summer.

Hmm.. a quick search found an 800W small kettle. Odd I found nothing a few weeks ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MG7YLQG

They make collapsable electric kettles if you want something like that for next time :)
