Coffee in the truck???

As an alternative, you can use a single burner of propane gas. You buy the burner and gas bottles from Walmart and all you need then is a small pan to boil the water. I've moved on from this method though and you can use a good 1500 watt inverter. Or an APU of course.
I personally use a French press made by Bodum. Used these things for years. Just a very good way of making coffee. Easy to wash out after each brew.
Good luck

 

As far as instant goes, get the Starbucks tubes ... pretty decent.

 

I can fill my thermos with real coffee at the TS
use points from fueling
why make life complicated

 

Now there's a business opportunity: Starbucks in all truck stops...

 

Because that swill is worse than instant?

 

Another possibility: develop a taste for iced coffee from instant...

 

personally i cant stand Starbucks or instant coffee
we need more Dunkin Donuts in TS

 

My 25 year old Stanley Thermos still does it for me.

 

:shudder: I'd rather drink Nescafé instant...

 

here's an idea that got me through my time down range when I was fiending for some caffeine. This is as an example, I took a liter and a half bottle of water, two packets of instant coffee, two packets of cream, and a pouch of cocoa beverage powder from an MRE. It made a pretty good tasting bottle of cappucino. Plus with the heat of Iraq, no need to heat it up lol Of course, instead of using an MRE, you can substitute the cocoa beverage powder with nestle quik powder.

For regular sized bottle of water, cut the coffee and cream packets down to one. Otherwise, you will have a very strong bottle of coffee lol
