hot water heaters for coffee/tea

I%26#39;ve been looking for something small that won%26#39;t take up much room in our suitcase to make hot water for coffee/tea in our hotel room (in cases where they don%26#39;t have a coffeemaker). Do any of you have any knowledge of these coil immersion units that are supposed to boil water? They certainly are small enough, but do they work? Most of the one cup coffee/tea makers I%26#39;ve found online are far too big to pack. If anyone has any other ideas, I%26#39;d appreciate your imput.

Thanks so much!!

what not just buy coffee there each morning

I saw a small one at the wal-mart for around 10 bucks..

Yes I have another idea that really works.

Get up in the morning, roll over in bed, push the button on the phone that says ';room service'; , ask them to bring you a pot of coffee, they will do this.

You are on vacation....live it up!!!

Yes, the immersion coils do work and it is a great idea for instant coffee and instant coffee bags and tea.

God some people are frikkin snarky this morning. No need.

Yes, coil immersion units do work but not that quickly. And- of course- you can only heat up one cup at a time.

Walgreen%26#39;s sells little electric pots for about $10. I would buy one there if that is what you want to do. No sense bringing one from home-there is a Walgreen%26#39;s and a CVS on the strip.

Thanks Foxywood3,vp03,ChowOldFat, and Pookaloki for your help.

From some of the other remarks, it%26#39;s obvious that grade school is out for the summer:))

I brought my own ';hot pot'; it boils water within 2 minutes. It was a bit bulky to fit in the suitcase but well worth bringing it. My hotel chagred $3.50 for a cup of coffee, I saved $50.00 for the week by making my own.

We just spent a week %26#39;on a budget%26#39; at the Excalibur. Although we aren%26#39;t great coffee drinkers, we saved a heap of money (and time) by buying yoghurt and muffins for breakfast at the store in the casino. I saw immersion units at Walmart and I know people who have used them very successfully.
