Hi, i am hoping to get some pointers to assist us in getting a better coffee experience while travelling in our camper (no 240v power but plenty of 12v, which unfortunately doesn't seem to assist us ie. its either manual or 240v for grinders that I have found). We are thinking the next logical step might be a manual grinder but I can't say i am necessary looking forward to doing this daily (was hoping to find something small with rechargeable battery or could be plugged into a 12v cigarette socket)
Our current setup which is okay is a Bialetti Moka Induction 3-cup stovetop (if there a better stovetop or similar out there that is as easy to use I would be interested in hearing about it). This suits us well as we have a dual gas burner in the camper. It requires 24 grams of coffee at a medium-fine setting (good for 2 of us). The grinder is only for the camper as we have a 240v grinder at home.
Also, we have a vacuum sealer with us so I was thinking for filling several small sealed packs with beans (about 200-250g) and taking them with us. Any tips on how to get a good balance of bean freshness v longevity once pack is opened and potentially which beans may be good to buy from the larger chains supermarkets along the way (typically all we see unfortunately)
Thanks for any assistance

- For short trips currently I will pre grind a few days of coffee and keep in the fridge (seems to work ok)
- For longer trips could be several months we have just purchased various small ground coffee vacuum packs from the larger chain supermarkets which are ok when opened but not so good as time goes by. It is this experience we are trying mainly to improve.
- Budget open but ideally less than $100 but prepared to pay more for speed, small size, durability (important), ease of use etc as we only want to buy once
