I provide quality whole beans and a grinder for fresh coffee. I also have milk/cream and sugar.
Bulk boxes of Maxwell House regular and decaf filter packs for the teeny 4-cupper on my Nostalgia Breakfast Station from hotel supply. I never have to clean up coffee grounds. And I think the filter packs (although probably not the individual envelopes they come in, sigh) are biodegradable. If I could buy the filter packs un-packaged and keep them in canister, I would.
We provide easy access to the coffee shop across the street

Lol. I just provide one brand of instant coffee and tea bags. I used to provide milk,ground coffee and a moka pot but very few guests used it and ground coffee and milk go bad very quickly so I stopped providing them. Guests still have access to the moka pot so they can buy ground coffee and milk if they prefer, there is a supermarket 100m away. In my experience most guests prefer to buy coffee from one of the nearby cafeterias. Once a guest even went out to buy take away coffee from the café round the corner.
I scatter the remnants (not the envelopes though!) around my roses.
Bunny, can you remove the tags and affiliate links from your post? We donât want them to compete with the forum ownerâs links. Thanks.
So we have a link function but we canât use it?
Iâm a moderator and I donât understand the policy either half of the time. I think the issue is that we donât want people putting links that they make money off of if someone clicks it and makes a purchase. We also donât want links that take people off this site to competing sites (like advice blogs)
Thatâs right. Please review forum guidelines. Itâs not custom software and the owner has asked us not to allow links that promote products or take users to blogs and such. Some links are allowed in context however. And please do the editing of your own post. Thank you.
I use a wonderful brand of ground coffee called Ringtons, based in the North of England. They deliver to your door every fortnight in little vans! We have an old-fashioned percolator for breakfast coffee, but the guests also get a cafetiere with ground coffee in their bedroom along with instant coffee if theyâre total 100% perverts and would prefer that.
We have a house blend. We order specific beans from a roaster, and then mix it [lovingly] into a blend that is robust but low acid. For our guests, I grind coffee freshly daily and place it in a glass jar in their rooms. Coffee geeks go nuts, and often take a handout I have prepared with the roaster information and formula for the blend. I find that folks under 30 donât seem to know how to make coffee or maybe they have a coffee-shop addiction. They will walk to the bottom of the hill to buy a coffee, and then back up!
Iâm so glad to know that the company is still around. I remember those little vans (they were green in those days) from when I was a kid.

Yeah, afraid Iâm a Pervert and rarely drink coffee at home - I make a kind of latte with nescafe in the microwave (yes, I can see you all fainting in horror). We supply a cafetiere with our standard supermarket Fair Trade medium roast (I think.) Iâm much more concerned about there being proper Buildersâ tea - Liptons, the standard tea available in Spain is disgustingly weak, and donât get me started on the â4 Rosesâ we suffer in Cape Town.
Really, there isnât the gourmet coffee (âshade-grownâ? really? Is that a thing?) habit in Spain. Most Spanish people go to a bar or cafĂ© since the emphasis is on socialising rather than the coffee itself. Surprisingly, many tourists rave about how good the coffee is here ⊠itâs always made in those big Italian machines - Gaggia?
Another thing Iâve noticed - we usually associate breakfast coffee with the French, but the majority of our young French guests drink tea in the morning instead - who knew?
I just got back from two weeks in Europe and had to endure two weeks of instant coffee⊠eee gaads. They do love their instant donât they? 
Iâm a coffeefreak and get Ethical Bean Lush Medium Dark Roast beans from Costco. We have a Breville Smartgrinder Pro and a Moccamaster KBT 741 coffee maker. Expensive machines, good coffee and it shows in our reviews. We are hosting remotely, never meet our guests and they all seem to love (and respect) our coffee set up.
I provide K cup coffee. Found this brand is good and affordable Victor Allen. Sell on Amazon and if you have local store Big lots. Amazon superscribe it can go as low as $19 for 80 cups. Also with half and half which I found best price at Samâs club, $8 for 192 of them. Green tea and black tea as well. Sugar and sweet-n-low. I found very few people really drink tea. But it looks nice.
We provide a Nespresso machine with some medium intensity pods. And a small bottle of longlife milk which we put in the fridge prior to the guests arrival. We also provide instant coffee sachets and tea bags.
Jaquo, youâll be pleased to know that the Ringtons vans are still green! Moreover, the theyâre a model produced by Volkswagen called the Caddy - how appropriate is that!
