If it's bad, what is our best option, the Starbucks package? Edited to add: Ship Breakaway Contrary to some others, I think the coffee from the Hamilton machines is quite good, certainly better than yucky Nespresso!, but their newer pods aren't as strong as they used to be. I bring my own pods "Senseo extra strong" excellent like strong filter coffee.

If in a Balcony, it looks like the one @BirdTravels showed a pic of. I bring Maxpresso or Starbucks Packets of instant. And, I use the hot water from the coffee maker to use the packets. I also bring a carton of milk from the buffet to keep in the cabin fridge. So, while not ideal, certainly better than the “standard” cruise coffee. Short of that, the Starbucks on board is another option. Same stuff you get on any street corner in the U.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find these better value than Amazon UK for Europe deliveries. https://www.kaffee-holland.com/epages/64320518.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/64320518/Products/KP0610 Edited June 10, 2023 by podgeandrodge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the coffeemakers were unsanitary. They would put them in the spot where the coffee would go and run the hot water over them.
