Good hotel coffee starts with ice - Hotel tip

by Debra Peterson (RSS feed) on Aug 10th 2010 at 12:28PM

If you like to wake up to a good cup of coffee, you know the appeal of having a coffee maker in your hotel room. But if you love coffee, then you also know hotel coffee can taste pretty mediocre, especially when made with tap water.

To make a better coffee, take advantage of the hotel's ice machines -- they use filtered water. Simply fill your coffee maker with ice the night before, and let it melt. You'll enjoy the difference the free filtered water makes to your morning cup – and to your tastebuds.

Ummm ... it's a good thought, but ice machines can have their own problems. Contamination has been noted in many food service ice machines, and I'd be especially careful about ice from an ice machine that is available for public access.
