blutarsky Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Made a potentially critical van mistake yesterday - jumped off the bed and out of the back door onto stony ground, and landed on a large pointy stone sticking right into the ball of my foot. Quite sore today. Do not do this at Glastonbury! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufcok Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Anyone know exactly where the Campervan East toilets are? (assuming they have their own set, first time in the Camper fields for me) Can't see anything on the map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yehbutnobut Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Ok top tippers. Let’s talk coffee. Currently in conversation with the wife who is turning her delicate little nose up at the thought of drinking instant. Any thoughts on a better way of her getting a fragrant and satisfactory caffeine hit from the van in the morning? I’m not fussed either way, but happy wife happy life n all that.

I use a metal V60 (but you can get a plastic one for a fiver) and get really fresh beans. I hand grind what I need in the morning and brew up into a metal coffee pot. It makes delicious coffee really easily and I feel proper jammy pouring out a cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleoclaptrap Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Pan or kettle on stove then a metal double walled cafetiere for your coffee. Takes care of the no glass issue and keeps the coffee warmer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to pre-grind beans and bring metal cafetière but cleaning them is a bit of a faff so I am intending to just bring coffee bags this year. Reduces some of the packing. One of my other top tips is keep one of your rucksacks/ bags whatever you packed stuff in your car and each day bring out all dirty clothes and put straight in the car. Keeps the van less cluttered and reduces packing on the last day. Also if the weather forecast is predominantly one way either dry or wet pack stuff for the opposite weather in a separate bag and just leave it in the car and only get it out if it becomes necessary.

yehbutnobut Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Kudos for all the coffee suggestions 👍 Went for a percolator with matching hand grinder after Mrs YBNB went over the above options. Had no idea she was such a coffee snob. Now after all that, we're guaranteed to be camped near a decent coffee stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiggy553 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I use a Stovetop Moka pot to make the coffee, and a one-cup cafetière to texture the hot milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you are, the cost saving on a decent cup of coffee is enormous compared even to a beer. You can get about 70 cups of coffee out of a 500g bag. I reckon its gonna be £3 a cup on site minimum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
