Use a 12V kettle or stove-heated water with an AeroPress or moka pot. Store beans in a sealed canister — RVs get hot and humid.
FAQ
Can I use a regular coffee maker in an RV?
Yes, when plugged into shore power. For boondocking, go 12V or no-power methods.
What about instant coffee in an RV?
Specialty instant (Sudden, Swift Cup) is a great backup when water or power is tight.
