Hunting down good coffee on your holidays isn’t ideal. Luckily, there are plenty of easy ways to keep your daily coffee routine intact—no matter where you are.
Compact, lightweight, and easy to use, theAeroPress is a traveller’s favourite. This versatile brewer makes a clean, filter-style coffee and is perfect for camping, hotels, or even in-flight brewing. All you need is the AeroPress, filter papers, coffee, and hot water—no bulky equipment required. Plus, with ourHey Buddy Filter Blend, it brews a seriously good cup.
For a stronger coffee, use less water or increase the brew time slightly. For a milk-based brew, top up your AeroPress shot with hot milk.

A plunger is one of the simplest ways to brew coffee, perfect for those slow holiday mornings. You’ll often find them in Airbnb kitchens and hotel rooms, and they come in travel-friendly sizes as small as 350ml.
Brewing is easy:
Add ground coffee to the empty plunger.
Fill with hot water and let it steep for about 5 minutes with the lid and metal filter resting above the water.
Press the plunger down to separate the grounds from the coffee.
You can use eitherfilter or espresso-roasted coffee in a plunger, making it a flexible option.
The stovetop (or moka pot) is a classic for a reason! If your accommodation has a stove—or your campsite has a fire—it’s an easy, no-fuss way to brew rich, espresso-style coffee. It’s a staple in homes, holiday rentals, and camping setups alike—just bring your favourite Padre Coffee beans. We recommend espresso-roasted coffee for this brewing device, and, if we had to pick it would definitely be our Daddy's Girl Espresso Blend.
For a stronger coffee, use a slightly finer grind. For a milk-based brew, add steamed milk to your stovetop coffee for a café-style experience.
If you’re staying somewhere with a pod machine, don’t settle for average coffee. Our100% organic and compostable Padre Coffee Pods, filled with ourWild Child blend, deliver a specialty coffee experience without the hassle.
Just pop a pod into theNespresso-compatible machine at your Airbnb or hotel, and you’re set.
Designed for travel, oursingle-use Day Drippers offer a no-equipment-needed solution for great coffee on the go. Each box contains 10 single-serve sachets—just add hot water.
How to brew:
Tear off the top of the pouch and hang the arms over your cup.
Shake lightly to level the coffee inside.
Slowly pour 200ml of hot water (92-96°C) over the filter, taking about1.5 minutes.
Discard the filter and enjoy!
For a milk-based brew, reduce the water by about50ml to maintain a rich coffee flavour.
