    Portable coffee maker

    I use metal filters, If you search for brewing techniques with the Aeropress , people get very particular about wetting paper filters etc. I try to make it as simple as I can. If travel weight is not an issue an electric grinder makes it a lot quicker

    Bestpricetravel.com.au flight cancellation 2 days before flight

    You need to educate your friend that booking so close to departure is better booked direct or with a reputable provider with 24 hr assistance. I get annoyed when I have used an OTA and have trouble or fees for booking seats so I mostly avoid them unless it is a huge bargain
