When you hit the road for a week, how much of your coffee apparatus do you bring with you? What was once a quandary or vexation is actually a simply solved practical matter, with every room/house coming with its own Proctor-Silex basket-filter item (always looks like 1983), which couldn’t work, except it does (just don’t try to mess with it till it’s finished with its business). At least, P-S is the company that seized Dukes County. When the ground beans brought from home run out, consider getting some beans roasted by Chilmark Coffee Company (you can find them at the Beetlebung farm stand a mile out of Chilmark on Middle Road, which is a great place to visit anyway). The labels will make you smile and coffee will go great with your calamari.

Hm, come to think of it, you might want to bring one of those miniature silo grinders on your trip. Also, you probably know this already, but if you need a cappuccino in Vineyard Haven, you’ll be mad stoked to discover Beetlebung.
