Let’s talk CupHolders

Difficult to me, my hobby is a bit of barrista, owning a portafilter from Ascaso permitted for professional use. .. Coffee is nearly some religion. Only thing what I would do if in the middle of nowhere is a french press, rather coarse ground coffee and Water not boiling but between 90 and 94 Celsius, 12-15g coffee per cup, min 70g coffee per litre and 4 minutes before push down.

But again nothing compared to a proper portafilter and a grinder like an Eureka.. But there is some 3KW and 230V required .. an Inverter and carrying all this somewhere in the African bush is rather decadent luxury.
Aeropress is your friend
 
Dunkin has fairly palatable coffee as far as commercial spots go, but I prefer roast-to-order (I get whole bean coffee shipped in monthly), ground at the time of brewing, coffee from home. Here's my go-to.
No, no, no! For the benefit of non-US readers, Dunkin’ is just as bad as Starbucks. Between these two it’s comparing air-burnt to flame-burnt. Bad.
 
I find this obsession with drinking and driving hilarious. Normal humans dont drink litre/gallon cups of coffee, we get a normal human sized coffee which will easily fit in the cupholder and we drink it while it’s hot over a 5-10 minute period. Normal humans also stop every 2 hours for a break or to change drivers, during which time if you really must drink litres/gallons of water a day you can refill or change your water receptacle, and if you do drink that much you will definitely need to stop regularly for a pee. Of all of the things I would like different or to change or modify about the Grenadier cup holders are the very last on the list. If I still had kids that traveled with me, I might make an exception for rear cupholders, but just normal human sized ones not litre/gallon sized ones.

Rant over.
😂 Every 2 hours!? I consistently drive from Odessa TX to the buc-ee's in Terrell TX without stopping. That's where I fuel up and get something to drink and eat, throw out my trash and use the bathroom. Then I continue onward to wherever I'm going.

Funny this thread has popped up now. I've just slapped together an adapter for my daughter so her ridiculous 36oz Yeti fits in her Hyundai cupholders. Waiting for her to get home from work so I can do a test fit then add some paint 👍
