Camp coffee!

[Uniquely Us Adventures]

What are you guys doing for camp coffee! Poor overs, French press, instant, and what kind of coffee are y’all drinking! Am I the only one that picks up a bag from every trip to try?!

Aeropress - no electricity needed, makes good coffee. Heat the water on the stove and make coffee with it. We also have a Handpresso, which does need electrical power, does make better espresso than the Aeropress, but which we didn't bother to take on our last big trip (no need for two coffee makers).

Our Plan B (if we were to lose or break the Aeropress) is a "coffee sock" - I'm not sure what this is called outside Colombia, but its a fine mesh bag in a holder which looks like a strainer - packs down to more or less no space and gives give coffee on a drip method.

We too try locally roast coffees wherever we go.

I use a percolator if I’m traveling with the teardrop. If not, some kind of instant.

I decided to try this after finding some great local coffee in Cloudcroft, NM. Of course it was whole bean, so a hand grinder was on order when I got home.

I’m going to have to look that one up! Haven’t tried the aero press yet…

My father-in-law uses a percolator every single day I always look forward to going over there and having that coffee!

It’s August and I’ve been spending time in the desert. Before my trip I make drip coffee, fill three 16oz mason jars, and freeze them. They work as a great substitute for ice and keep my cooler cold. As they melt I am able to enjoy iced coffee on hot days.

When I am out there I use a percolator. When I was a kid, my Mom would brew coffee in one. I would watch it wondering how it worked. Still haven’t figured it out. Brings back great memories.

I just switched from a French press to the aeropress. Packs up smaller, makes one cup at a time and that one cup is far superior tasting to the French press. Aero press has at least a couple models, normal/household and more compact camping. I ordered the camping version but received the normal version - I just leave the extra pieces at home and it occupies very little space.

I perk my morning Joe. I do enjoy coffee made with a coffee sock, it's a latin thing.

That’s a great idea!!!

Wow, what a view to wake up to!

What are you guys doing for camp coffee! Poor overs, French press, instant, and what kind of coffee are y’all drinking! Am I the only one that picks up a bag from every trip to try?!

I go with the pour over method, using freshly ground beans. I use a simple/basic blade grinder plugged into my power station to grind the beans. It's a little noisy, but it really only takes around 8-10 seconds and if needed I can grind inside the car with doors closed to not disturb anyone close by.

We grind our coffee every morning typically at home but when we go camping I grind my coffee ahead of time for the weekend do you notice a difference with the beans being same day fresh i don’t but maybe I’m not getting good enough coffee. It sure is nice having those power stations. When he was ours all the time but I never thought about grinding our coffee with it.

With all the positive feedback about the aero press, I went ahead and ordered one and I’m gonna give it a shot. I’ve been a French press person for 20 years let’s see how this aero press stacks up!

Another endorsement for the aeropress. I use one most everyday, great coffee and simple cleanup. I got a Stanley French Press for larger groups. The body is stainless so you can use it to heat the water.

I keep the beans in the bag they came in, and then put that inside a zip lock bag where I push out as much air as I can from the bag before sealing. This is the same method I use at home. To my taste, the beans stay fresh for quite a while.

Aeropress cleanup is super quick and easy and can be done without water if you desire. Let us know how you like it.
