RE: CLOSED - Coffee Conversation (May 6-8)

I am an AVID coffee drinker! And my favorite way to make coffee is the pour-over. This is an off grid friendly way for me to make coffee as regular coffee machines take way too much electricity!
Here I am with my morning cup ☕

Welcome, it's great of you to join the convo 😁
Haha! I know too well how convenient manual coffee makers are. I lived on this small narrowboat here in the UK for a year and a half, and I relied on a Moka Pot and a French Press to make my daily brew:)
I would love to hear more about your narrowboat experiences! Have you made a post about it here on Peakd? I used to do the French Press as well, and then went even more minimalist with the pour over, taking up even less counter space. Love the artwork, btw 🚤
Thank you 😊
I've found these previous posts which show a lot of my canal life just a year ago:)

WOW what a charming and amazing lifestyle! And that little boat is just seriously too cute. But I know all too well that it takes a serious effort to live a lifestyle like that. Living in a tiny space is a consistent challenge to keep things clean and clutter free. We all tend to see the romanticism but I applaud you for managing that lifestyle and all the challenges that come with both minimalism and travel!
We loved Badger, but yes, there were many challenges of it being too small. Our boat was 28ft long, but the maximum length of the narrowboats is 70ft. It's practical to have one 57/60ft max because there is no limit as to which lock you are able to travel through then.
Some of the narrowboats are luxurious on the inside and some are quirky. They are all individual and boat owners can decor and design them to their taste:)
I love your mug. I always say the bigger the mug the more coffee we enjoy.
Thank you! 💛 I got that mug when I was living in West Yellowstone, Montana. I've had it for nearly a decade now!
