There is no shortage of ways to make the perfect cup of coffee. Coffee lovers have reinvented this wheel in the best sense for decades. As far as travel coffee kits are concerned, the marketplace finally caught up. Between individual French presses and the Aeropress, there are many good options. The one drawback of these tools is the packing space they take up. It is not much, but wouldn’t it be great if there were a high-quality coffee option that would take up almost no space at all? There is, and the Dripkit is worth all of your caffeine-soaked attention.

This product takes travel-ready, delicious coffee to the next level. It works by providing you with freshly roasted individual coffee packs in flat cardboard dispensers. All you have to do is unseal the package, open up the triangular cardboard pack, place it over a mug and add hot water. Your perfect pour-over awaits. These packs can be purchased through the website in quantities of five, 10, and 20. You can make a one-time purchase, or subscribe and save. The one glitch in this beautiful system is this is not a cheap cup of coffee. It will cost you around $2.80 a pour-over. It is still a deal and if you are traveling to a coffee-less land, it is absolutely worth it. And this isn’t your regular instant cup of Joe. It is, after all, a pour-over.
