This article is brought to you by our friends at Nature’s Coffee Kettle. They make it easy to enjoy coffee at the campground, with their brew in a bag innovation.
For 6 years I woke up hours before the sun. I drove to the coffee shop where I worked, turned the key in the lock, flipped the switch on the Grindmaster espresso machine, and waited for my first sleepy customer to drive up to the window.
Without fail, the mood of each customer transformed as I passed their latte, black coffee, or triple soy no foam five pump macchiato through the window. There’s something to say about that first cup of coffee in the morning.
What’s even better than a coffee at a drive through? Coffee around the campfire. Hands down. If you’re looking for ways to spice up your camp coffee, we’ve got you covered. These recipes are the piece-de-resistance that will step up your camp coffee game.
