It’s just my husband and I and he doesn’t drink coffee. So for local car camping, it’s an individual peculator. When flying cross country to camp, I’ve gotten hooked on Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew cans that I pick up at the grocery store or gas station when we land. These are great to put in a pack for day hiking and a pick-me up mid day.
I have two different possibilities. One is a large plastic French Press from REI. The other is an over-the-fire percolaror. I prefer that one, but sometimes the former is simpler in use and cleanup time. Either way:coffee WILL happen
Ohh boy. This for sure will stir up some emotional response.
But I’ve tried the whole pour over thing camping, and French press, as well as a regular perk and I keep going back to starbucks via Italian roast. I’m not a fan of the other flavors. But for the time and effort invested in the process the reward vs effort ratio. Is right there for me. The one last thing i intend on trying is a moka pot. Once I get that together then it will probably seal the deal on either that or the instant.
When car camping I typically use pre ground beans in a percolator or Starbucks Via packets. Trader Joe’s also makes pretty good instant coffee packets that are pre sweetened with kind a creamer as well. They’re pretty good, but some times I sweeten a bit more. These are great for backpacking or if you’re trying to keep the bulk down.
We make coffee along the rode the same way whenever it’s coffee break time. We just pull over in a lovely spot, pull out our single burner propane stove and brew up fresh coffee on the back of our truck!
We use the MSR MugMate Coffee/Tea filter. It can make one cup at a time, or it can be put into anything that has a mug-sized opening. We like it because it works for coffee and loose tea, since we normally have coffee in the morning then drink tea all day.
I am a complete cheater when it comes to this… I use Alpine Start or Laird coffees so that I don’t have to worry about another piece of equipment. Both are great options that actually taste amazing for instant coffees. I just heat my water put in my tumbler and shake and I am good to go!!
I second that second for the Aeropress. I’m a regular home espresso machine user, but the Aeropress is my go to device for the road. The most important accessory to add to the Aeropress is good airtight containers for the ground coffee, since I don’t bring the grinder on trips.
I purchased a small manual coffee bean grinder on Amazon. It is approximately 7-8" tall and about 1.5" in diameter. A small hand crank turns the burr grinder. Take your favorite beans. I use an Oxo single cup pour over which sits on an insulated cup. The Oxo uses paper filters so cleanup is easy. The Oxo comes with a water reservoir that sits on top of the filter assembly and has a lid to keep everything hot. It makes excellent coffee.
I’ve been looking for an easy, economical alternative to my 1 cup pod brewer which always seems to take too long to make a cup of coffee. And the pods take up so much of my precious storage space. I have this in my Amazon cart and am saving for later. I like the idea of a reusable filter and will look for one to go with this. Thanks so much
That is a very useful video! I am a big coffee lover. Although, I’ve not always been like that A friend of mine has opened my love towards coffee not so long ago. Moreover, the advantages of it too! Finally, this magic potion is the one thing that makes me feel alive in the mornings Fun fact, my friend has given me a coffee mug with “coffee lover Nr1” on it He made it with the help of personalised mugs, by the way. Just in case any of you needed it.
My way is the simple way (simple man, simple van); mini Keurig or Via packets using the JetBoil. Keurig takes 2% battery power per cup, JetBoil when I’m low on battery or want to make it outside. At least that’s how I’m doing it now, could change when I go full-time this summer.
