    I usually just load my thermos up at whatever truck stop I’m at. Half the time they give coffee refills to you for free without even ringing it up if that’s all you’re buying. The other times I use my free refills on the rewards cards and if I’m out of those I just use points.

    Why the salt?

    Cuts down on the bitterness. I barely add any. Also keeps me from cramping, because coffee makes me pee, flushing out salts.
     
    Bean Jr., Snow Hater and Speed_Drums Thank this.

    Last year when Covid hit and the truck stops stopped letting us use our refillable mugs, I went to Walmart and got a K-cup coffee maker.

    K-cups are cool. No mess to worry about.
    I do need to use 2 to get the coffee right, but the cost is a bit better even so.

    Many times the only thing I bought at a truck stop was coffee.
    Now they don't even have that much.

    The extra 5 minutes a day I spend making my own coffee is well worth it.

    Probably.
    You will probably have access to a 1500W inverter with an APU?
    I would buy an electric hotplate and a saucepan to make coffee with. You can cook more with a saucepan than a coffee maker.

    Make "cowboy coffee". Heat water in the saucepan and then add some coffee grounds. Put a paper towel over the lid of a coffee mug and pour the coffee from the saucepan into the mug to filter out the grinds.
