Hey no worries. You were more useful then I, because you actually bothered to post a pic (I was too lazy). So I felt indebted to the HUBB and try to save others a few pennies .

In all seriousness this Mug.. actually fills more then one roll for me. Yes it is my coffee fix (which alone makes it a must.. maybe only 2nd to the bike ). But it is the only cup/bowl I carry. Therefore it is used for everything i need a cup/bowl for (including holding nuts/bolts during a repair). I am a very firm believer in "everything must have at least 2 uses". When using it for a repair job make sure you wash it... or the euphemism for coffee: "a steaming sump oil" becomes way too literal!!

I would love one of those espresso makers but they only have one use and thus I can justify carrying it.

Zyliss Hotmug Cafetiere - Blue | Robert Dyas

Actually I brought one of these, amazingly good. Not 100% sure what the hole in the side of the plunger stalk is for as it lets some grinds back above the filter gauze, but it makes a wicked culpa Coffee. And the Insulated lid stays in firmly place (once plunged)

ironically I use this everyday at work! Zyliss. Brought a couple more for when I break / loose this one and the next one. That should suffice a while. Having said that its really well made

I really enjoy the GSI Collapsible Java Drip - is tiny when collapsed and works with any mug you may have... you will need to carry a few paper filters..other options do work ok too,,

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
