to me, the critical question is availability of decent coffee.
Decent coffee and desalinated water are mutually exclusive, so good luck with that.
OTOH in Dubai anything is possible if you’re able to pay the asking price. I expect at least one of its hotels will have a fleet of gold plated Rolls Royces serving coffee that uses water sourced from Himalayan glacier ice that’s been towed to the gulf by dolphins. Or something.
the question is whether or not i bring beans, grinder, and aeropress. earlier this month, i had to do so, and was doing it with himalayan water in thinphu, a tea culture. my kit worked well, and i was happy to have it. i assure you the ietf noc team is assiduous about covering coffee [0] availibility in the site survey. i suspect brian's team has that knowledge for las veg^H^Hdubai. randy 0 - x ∉ Y, where x is fourbucks and Y is coffee
