Camp Coffee Set Up

[dcmdon]

I don't like percolators because they take a while and are messy to clean up. For car camping and backpacking i use the same thing, GSI 30floz java press. It is easy to clean and takes about 5min once you get the water hot enough. Plus tastes good. if you are not okay w/ some coffee bits in your coffee, pour thru a cheese cloth or filter to catch the couple loose bits.
Both my wife and I typically drink about 20oz each on a daily basis, so with this we don't get as much as normal, but we can always make a 2nd batch. I usually find I don't have the time to drink my normal amount of coffee when camping anyway.

This is the answer. This is a great device that makes a great cup of coffee, fast. Just boil some water and you are good.

I use single cup pour over filters with the same coffee I use at home. No need to carry any extra equipment or device to make coffee with them, just the same pot you use for cooking to heat the water.

Same here. I use one of the plastic Hario V60 filter baskets and filters. Pregrind my beans the night before heading out. Boil water, pour over into my camping mug, enjoy! Throw away the filter and grounds, a little rinse of the filter basket and done. I do have an Aeropress but even that is a little more messy and involved.

My bro in law just made the wife a cup with a Nanopresso. It's been added to my shopping list.

I make a quart of 1 to 3 strength(condensed) cold brewed about once a week. Fill a 16 oz mug with 4 oz of it and the rest with clean water, heat the 16 oz.'s for a great cup and no cleanup. The quart travels well and when camping for less than a week I don't need coffee ground or whole beans, filters or a place to dump the daily grind and filter. I Frenched press coffee for awhile until I read about the fine sludge being bad for the stomach.
BTW, Cold brewed is not cold coffee once hot. It's brewed without heating the coffee grounds. Let the grounds soak in cold water for 12/24 hours in the rig. Filter out the grounds and heat filtered liquid. Make it 1/1 or like I do, so 1 qt. makes a gallon.

I was just looking at camp coffee grinders today! Trying to find something small and efficient but not follow the trend of what everybody else is using.

Why bother grinding, Cowboy up. Boil whole beans in rolling boiling water for 4 minutes. Pour in a little cold water to settle beans.

You don't want to do what everyone else is doing? So, no drip, no french press, no pour over, instant, percolator, cold brew, etc.

Exactly what new style will you invent?

I’m not really a coffee snob (beer and wine yes) and I often travel very light. So I always carry this.

It’s not strong enough for my taste so I add a packet of instant Starbucks to it. The good thing is that with my Jetboil I can have a cup within a couple of minutes of getting up on the trail.

You need watch Andrew St Pierre White's youtube channel. The guy builds 4x4's around the world and is currently experimenting with induction cooking as a camp setup...

This is the way.

This is my setup, taken this morning at our camp in Death Valley. Typically use Lavazza or other ground espresso.

Eating beans straight out of the bag and drinking hot water, everything else is just what sissy's do!

Can’t we just use the plug in the center console and have a civilized keurig?

Really the only reason to own a Jackery. I am not waiting fifteen minutes to boil water and then percolate it. I do carry one of these, just incase.

We love coffee. We fresh grind our beans at camp prior to making coffee. This is our normal method. We typically make two pots. I use this coffee maker because it is more efficient than others. The craft keeps the coffee hot without a bottom heating element. It uses about 600 watts. The Jackery 1000 will make about 8 pots of coffee off a full charge.

Stainless steel French press. Worth the extra space, everyone loves it when I bring them a coffee in the morning.
