So what's the situation for those (most) of us crippled with a horrible addiction to the stuff?

I'm assuming there is some source of hot water, and possibly milk and/or instant coffee / tea bags. I'm roughing it, so I can survive a couple of days without something forced through an espresso machine, but I need SOMETHING to ingest containing my caffeine fix.

So are the basics there, or should we be BYOing caffeine supplies as well?

cheers

I'm pretty sure there'll be a huge can of International Roast - Caterer's Blend available.

I think I'll bring some less awful instant with me, but maybe someone could bring a plunger or percolator or something?

I'm planning on ordering 3kgs of cleanskin beans from 5 Senses Coffee
and would really like it, if I could use a railscamp organisers
address :) (Can someone send me an address to send the beans to?)

These beans are for anyone who can't drink instant anymore.

I'll be bringing a presspot or stovetop (if I can track one down).
Others might also be bringing equipment.

A local rails ninja is bringing his grinder (I hope, just replied to
his tweet)

I'll be bringing either a presspot or a stovetop (if I can track one
down).

I can order more beans if some serious coffeegeeks are coming. I
think we did about 2kg? of the stuff we picked up from The Coffee
Barun in Adelaide last time, and a few other guys brought their own as
well.

I wonder how much espresso machines cost to rent for a weekend (food
for thought for railscamp6!)

I have something like this:
http://www.kitchenwaredirect.com.au/Coffee-Tea/Stovetop-Espresso/Avanti-Stovetop-Espresso-Maker-6-Cup

(probably 6 cup rather than 9 or something)

Which I can bring along if you'd like, Snapper?

Mr Crane, it's a dangerous game, but well worth the risk.

So is playing the "bacon" variant of Mexican. Especially around this time of the year.
