Or, if I知 going to a city with a coffee scene I知 familiar with, like London, I値l just head straight there first chance I get! Nothing like Fernandez and Wells or Flat White in London.

Also, my standard route from my house to IAH takes me by Houston痴 best cafe, Catalina Coffee.

I personally can稚 stand the liquid charcoal Starbucks sells as coffee. I値l drink it if I have to just to get going in the morning, but only then. I carry a hand grinder, collapsible filter cone and immersion boiler with me on trips so I can make a good cup with fresh beans in my hotel.
