Real coffee in any hotel room

AeroPress Go travel coffee maker

Hotel coffee is often the worst cup of the trip. The AeroPress Go packs into its own mug, about the size of a water bottle. Add ground coffee and hot water, wait 30 seconds, press. A full cup in about two minutes, hot or iced. Cleanup is popping out the grounds and a quick rinse.

Needs ground coffee and hot water. A hotel kettle works.

A whole library on one thin screen

Kindle Paperwhite (16GB, 2024)

Paperbacks take up real room in a carry-on. The Kindle Paperwhite puts them on one thin 7-inch screen with no glare, so it reads clearly in bright sun, and the light turns amber for reading in the dark. One charge lasts up to 12 weeks. It's waterproof, so the pool is fine.

Books are bought separately, in the Kindle Store.

More room in the same suitcase

OlarHike compression packing cubes (10 pieces)

Four compression cubes in four sizes, plus a hanging toiletry bag, a shoe bag, a laundry bag and a garment bag. Fill a cube, then close the second zipper to squeeze it smaller. It works like a small vacuum bag, with no pump. Mesh panels show what's inside each one.

Some of the 10 pieces are small. The four cubes do most of the work.

The whole bathroom kit on one hook

BAGSMART hanging toiletry bag

Hotel bathrooms often have little counter space. This bag hangs from its swivel hook on a door or a towel bar and opens flat into four zip compartments. Elastic straps hold full-size bottles upright. The sides are clear, so everything is easy to find, and the fabric is water-resistant.

Sized for full-size bottles, so it's a suitcase bag, not a backpack bag.

Passport, phone and wallet, always in front

tomtoc 3.5L sling bag

A small bag worn on the chest or over the shoulder, so the essentials stay in sight in a crowd. Three compartments hold a phone, a wallet and a passport. RFID blocking keeps the cards inside from being scanned. The nylon is water-resistant, and the bag weighs 0.69 lb.

3.5 liters: room for the essentials, not a jacket.
