What coffee maker is best in MTRs?

Question

I'm a Chemex coffee snob but I imagine a lot of MTRs and STRs prefer something easier. Although I've stayed in smaller Airbnbs that had pour over coffee setups. What's everyone's experience here on coffee?

If you have the cabinet space, all of the above. We have a pour over, french press, and standard coffee maker (along with grinder and kettle - obviously). It's really cheap to buy all 3 and while most tenants don't really care, it is a home run for some. We will typically leave some beans from a great local roaster as well when tenants arrive. It's not necessary but is a nice touch.

I recommend having a coffee bar if you have the space with different options and flavors. I have a coffee maker / Keurig and provide instant coffee, tea, and different flavored sweeteners that I get from Marshalls or TJ Max.

Totally agree with @Travis Timmons. Most coffee making options are relatively cheap and all our MTR guests love having a coffee bar with options. People are funny about their coffee. From brands to brewing methods to beans vs. pre-ground. You can't go wrong with several options. And even if you don't have THE option they prefer, they'll appreciate that you tried. We have a drip coffee maker, Chemex, French Press and electric kettle at our properties.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter when it comes to how attractive it makes your MTR. If you’re targeting your hipsters, they might like fancier coffee setups. But for most people, a easy to use coffee maker will be just fine.

Love it guys. I have a Fellow kettle at home and couldn't recommend it enough. It's not the cheapest but the quality is worth it. I like the idea of including some local beans!

@David Zimmer  coffee love it!  I had a jura capresso in a MTR,  they never used it, changed to   Kuerig and gave Jura to my son. The tenants used Kuerig a little. Its a smaller Kuerig on counter and I have a drip maker in the closet. The big kuerigs are too much counterspace. Plan on replacing them because they always break.
