I am traveling on British Airways next week from the US to England, and I plan on bringing a mini Keurig machine. Will I be able to put the Keurig in my carry-on? It's small (4.5"D x 11.3"W x 12.1"H) enough to fit in my backpack.
Will I have any troubles bringing it on board British Airways as a carry-on?
we will bring a converter strong enough for it. Thank you!
I have returned. It was no issue bringing it through security or on plane. However I tried plugging it in a converter for England and it blew the fuse each time I turned it on. Also finding k cups was almost impossible LOL.

Mini or regular size, yes, with some additional precautions.

And a "converter" doesn't change the voltage. You'd have needed a transformer. Glad you didn't start a fire or destroy your Keurig.

I'm surprised you didn't start a fire. Plugging a 110v appliance into a 220v supply is a great way to start one. Some things (like laptop chargers and many other things) have power supplies designed for dual voltage. Coffee machines generally do not.

I've been researching this due to the widely varying quality at hotels. I think the way to go is to assume you have access to hot water via microwave, kettle or similar. I am looking at these three options:
Aeropress:
Presto MyJo (works with pods):
Bodum French Press Travel Mug:
Thoughts?

Do you use a travel tray, Global Adventurer? I've thought it might help in preventing forgotten items.

A travel tray? Like Tom Bihn Travel Tray? YES! I'm packing for a trip right now for 2 weeks from now, and I'm definitely taking my travel tray.👍 That was the first thing I purchased off Tom Bihn many years ago. The best thing since sliced bread😁

With enthusiasm like that, it's definitely going on the Christmas list! Thanks!

the bodum french press mug is fine if you drink your coffee quickly. But if you like to sip over a period of time, the grounds just end up stewing in an ever decreasing amount of liquid.

I've basically used every one of these and for traveling they don't work very well (in my opinion). I ended up with the Primula Brew Buddy. In addition, I carry a Sea to Summit mug and bowl on every trip and a titanium spork. Never need to use hotel stuff.

[True confession: I sometimes bring both set ups when traveling by car.] Probably should have saved my money and used a Sea to Summit collapsible cup with the Primula and Sea to Summit X Brew. I use the Primula as a filter inside the X Brew which seems to make stronger coffee. Recently I have been tempted by Sea to Summit's new Frontier Collapsible Coffee Filter: https://seatosummit.com/products/fro...Xn1FYg_0Cqnp0s
