How do you make your coffee?
Hey, Reader,
You might not know this about me yet, but I REALLY love coffee. In fact, I am borderline obsessed with coffee and NEED it every morning. You better not talk to me until I have my coffee!
Did you know that caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive drug in the world?
I have a system in place: A hand-grinder where I grind whole beans. A tiny electric hot water kettle. And a simple pour-over method that results in delicious coffee.
Then I sit and read the newspaper on my iPad as the outside world wakes up.
As I write this email, I'm sitting in my van on a forest service road in the Sierra Nevada. Birds are chirping. Bees are buzzing. The air smells of sage and pine, and we have a view of the distant hills. I feel so happy here, comfortable in my van but immersed in nature.
The perfect spot for my cup of morning coffee, right?

I’m really excited to tell you about my friends at Wayfarer Vans and their Ford Transit and RAM ProMaster campervan conversions. They’re simple and spacious with modular furniture, giving you everything you need and nothing you don’t. Their conversions, which are built in their Colorado Springs, CO facility, start at just $20k.
Best of all, they offer a nationwide pickup and delivery program so you can get your completed van without ever leaving the house! They will cover the cost of shipping your vehicle one-way up to $2,000. If you’re looking for a simple, affordable, high-quality campervan, check them out: Wayfarer Vans Conversions

Everyone has their own way of enjoying their cup of morning joe.
Some people love the French Press. Others swear by the pour over, like me. And others have small electric coffee pots inside their vans.
My friends over at Engineers Who Van Life have an ESPRESSO MAKER in their van. Luxurious, right?
There are SO MANY ways to make coffee inside a campervan or an RV, that I asked my writer Brooke Alexander to write an in-depth post about all the ways to make coffee on the road.

But I also want to know, what is your preferred way to make coffee?
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday :)

Hey Reader, One thing I tell people is that if you're considering the van life, rent a campervan first! Renting lets you get a feel for the size of various campervans and which amenities you might want in your own. But the thing is....so many campervan rentals are flipping expensive! I've seen some that are $300 per day, which isn't a financially viable option for many people. I wanted to introduce you to Avanti campervans....these guys rent out stealthy, small, affordable minivan campers....
