<p>im one of those people who cannot function without drinking some form of caffeine in the morning. do you make coffee in your dorm room, buy it from a coffee shop every morning, what?</p>
<p>Also, since buying coffee from a shop every morning would be expensive and inconvenient, how would one brew coffee in their room? I have an electric kennel that I can bring with me, but my room is not outfitted with a kitchen. halp</p>
<p>You would bring…a coffee pot.</p>
<p>^ I applaud your genius.
S’pose OP prefers instant coffee.</p>
<p>Electric grinder, an electric something to heat water and a french press. All you need in life.</p>
<p>You don’t need a coffee pot, just filters, filter paper, ground beans, and mugs. I’m gonna have some now.</p>
<p>Actually, never mind.</p>
<p>I currently use a regular coffee-maker (make sure it fits the fire regulations at your university so you don’t get fined!) but in retrospect, I would have bought a French Press; basically, you put water & ground coffee in it, and then when you press a lever, the water is filtered in. French Presses usually go for around $60, and if you have a way to boil your own water, they make better coffee than a coffee maker (and take less time).</p>
<p>Do most colleges commonly allow coffee makers in rooms?</p>
<p>What about water heaters? Because I also love tea and would like to make both</p>
<p>At my school, at least, you can bring your own mug into the dining hall and fill that with coffee. Or just drink the coffee in the dining hall.</p>
<p>I don’t think my school allows coffee machines, but they allow french presses.</p>
<p>I don’t like coffee so I won’t be in need of any.</p>
<p>I used an espresso machine (until it broke… but it was 15 years old). If you like cappuccinos, you can get a reliable machine on Amazon for under $60. Electric kettles are only $15+, though, and work for coffee and tea. Personally, I had an unhealthy personal attachment to my glorious EM and ended up having multiple cappuccinos/shots of espresso every day. But such is life.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>my ex used a french press every morning…we just had a low-end coffee maker in our room, though.</p>
<p>I did when I lived in a dorm. I used to cook everything in my coffee maker, I even made Chef Boyardee in my coffee maker during late night cramming because they’d lock the kitchen up at 1am. </p>
<p>But, I don’t think I was supposed to have coffee maker in the dorm.</p>
<p>You can get an electric kettle for about $20-$30 I think. You just put water in it, flip a switch and it boils the water very fast. And yeah, French presses are the best!</p>
<p>can you make tea in a coffee maker?</p>
<p>They’re not made to do that, but if you put in the water and no beans and let it run you’ll get hot water. Then hot water + tea bag = tea.</p>
