I wonder when manufacturers of professional coffee makers will eventually come up with a version that would be ideal for travel.  It is frustrating for coffee geeks like me because we want to have freshly brewed coffee during a long trip but the travel coffee makers available produce lousy-tasting coffee.  And there’s always the trouble of getting the coffee burned because of the hot plate.  I would love to have my professional coffee maker that produces the same quality as those in Starbucks but is more compact, lightweight, easy to clean and of course, far more affordable than the professional coffee makers in the market today.
