Water
Water is a crucial ingredient in brewing coffee, so make sure you have enough clean water for your brewing needs. Depending on how many cups of coffee you plan to make, adjust the amount of water accordingly.
Mug or Cup
Finally, don’t forget to bring a mug or cup to enjoy your freshly brewed coffee. Pack a durable and insulated container if you want to keep your coffee hot for an extended period.
