A little over a year ago I bought a J-MAX, Aeropress, Prismo and Timemore Nano as a travel set and it’s now my daily driver! In hotels I’ve used the in room coffee machine to give me hot water, but that kettle…!
I do pour over from time to time but on most days when you're still half asleep and in a hurry, a normal kettle and an immersion method like the aeropress gets you to a "great enough" cup The most important thing is buying and grinding the beans fresh and have some sort of filtered water to boil.
I have nearly the same setup. Used it for the first time a couple weeks ago. Worked great. I did an aeropress with the fellow attachment, zp6 and a travel kettle. I like you're kettle more. Mine looks more like a water bottle and I didn't love pouring hot water out of it.
I'm ordering that electric kettle for my next vacation. We vacationed with friends recently and I used a similar setup (minus the silcone kettle) with an 1Zpresso J-Max, and my friends were astounded they could have such great coffee in the middle of the desert southwest.
I've been experimenting with travel setups in the past year. And my takeaway is that, good water with inferior grinder would yield a better cup than a nice grinder with bad water. Cos sometimes good grinder with awful water would bring on more unpleasant bitterness in the cup. So in my country it's easy to get 2 brands of distilled water so I often bring the 1L aquacode pack to dilute into 1.5L bottle. Or alternatively we do have 1 brand of bottled bottle that is decent enough.
I honestly kept my Flair Pro 2 so I could use it for travel after upgrading to a Flair 58. I also brought my Orea to Japan and somehow managed to lose it in transit. I had to get another one which was highly unfortunate.
Almost the same setup Ive been using for my travels, I started using the same kettle late last year (there are many branded versions of the same collapsible kettle on Amazon) with an AeroPress + Fellow Prisimo and a K-Max 1ZPresso hand grinder. Much better than dragging around my DE1/P100 lol! Are you seeing any residual “slime” floating in the water from the kettle’s walls? I had to clean it with Cafiza a few times to make that go away. PS: What are you doing in vegas? Thats where I live! Be sure to visit PublicUS downtown on Fremont for the ultimate coffee shop experience while you are here, and Bungalow on Charleston street for what may be the best Onyx house in the USA. Holla if you want to get a cup with a local!
Isn’t aquafina like 2-4 ppm TDS. That light roast Ethiopian coffee must’ve tasted like mud water or you actually spiked it up with TWW or equivalent prior to brewing
I'll admit to taking a monolith on road trips before. In a true act of degeneracy I've taken a DE1 a few times too. I've cut down to a zp6 /tricolate lately.
Definitely looking to buy that collapsible electric kettle. Its so gross what people are doing with the electric kettles provided by the hotel as seen on YT hacks.
You are demented for bringing a 064 instead of a hand grinder. I respect it.
I feel like this would be most people's daily driver instead of travel setup

This is EXACTLY the setup I take to work, except with an 1zPresso Q2 instead of an 064 lmao. Aeropress ftw!
That keramo is so good. Have a few cups left.
AP and a travel kettle, with a hand grinder had been my go to for years now. Can’t go wrong with it.

Hotels in the US don't have kettles?

My travel kettle tasted like silicone. How did you get that taste out?
5-10 minutes? Dang that’s pretty immersion. Is that because of how light a roast that is?
Don’t blow up the spot on the collapsible kettle it’s on my wishlist I haven’t ordered yet.
cool; no espresso no care. Flair 58 + grinder + kettle is dank for sure.
