I love my mokipot, and keep it in the rig at all times. There's nothing like a lil cafecito to keep on moving.

I haven't seen anyone mention it and to be honest I have only seen 1 person have one. My buddy has a rugged coffee maker that takes Kurig Kcups. It's made by Oxx Coffee and seems pretty cool for someone wanting just a single cup or two. https://oxx.com/thecoffeeboxx/

I am glad someone else brought up k-cups... I use a MyJo...

There's nothing better than a morning cup of coffee when camping - just bought me an old fashioned red 8 cup enamel percolator coffee pot - http://amzn.to/2gLjhXu - this picture doesn't show it off as well - but it works great!

As a kid I remember my parents making coffee all the time with these with great success. Since my wife doesn't drink coffee, I typically only bring a GSI single cup french press kit, but I ended up picking up one of those enamel 8-cuppers to bring along when I know more coffee drinkers are going to be joining us. I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME GET IT TO NOT BLOW OUT GROUNDS.
Got any tips? I've tried adjusting amount of water, amount of grounds, duration of brew, etc. and still no luck. Every single time I end up with a whole bunch of grounds bubbling over into the pot.
Yes, to make good coffee please know it may take about 15 minutes. Fill the pot with water to just below where the pouring spout is in the pot. Next, I use 5 level scoops of coffee in the coffee basket. What I do is turn the stove on high and wait until the coffee is seen brewing in the top clear glass bulb on the lid. At that point, turn your burner to medium heat to avoid coffee grounds from over flowing into the coffee pot and let it brew for 7 minutes. Let the pot sit for one minute before pouring. This seems to work best for me.

You're welcome - It was trial and error while I spitting out grounds - but this method seemed to really minimize them. With this type of brewing, you're always going to have a few...but that's the old fashioned charm of it!

Oh yeah, I don't mind a few, even happens a bit with my french press sometimes. As long as I don't end up with at least half the grounds floating in the post like my last attempts i'll be very happy!
As a wilderness guide I tend to make a big pot of coffee with an egg.
1. Put all your coffee in a pot with the water.
2. Boil until it's strong enough. Take it off the stove
3. Break an egg into the hot coffee pot and wait until it solidifies.
4. scoop off the egg, ground mix and feed it to the dog
5. Enjoy ground free coffee.
As an alternative.
1. Do 1 and 2 from above
2. Then instead of the egg, spin the coffee pot like a propeller to force the grounds to the bottom,
3. pour one cup at a time
4. Be careful doing this as so much can go wrong :P

I have never heard of this process. No filter needed!
Yeah, maine guide trick that's been passed and refined through subsequent guides. It's a trick to impress the sports and get bigger tips lol. (oh crap we lost the coffee filters when we unloaded the boat...but wait we have eggs still. ;)
I'm sure 2-3 sips of that from a press and I'd be pooping.
Probably runs through you like det cord.

Coffee pots are like cast iron to me. A good seasoned pot is key, so I drag my coffee pot I use at the cabin with me. I make my coffee over a woodstove 9 months of the year, and my pot has a nice patina on the inside of residue. I never wash it, for it ruins the taste.
Fill the pot with spring water, bring to a rolling boil and remove from heat. Add two fistfuls of home roasted and ground beans, let sit and get happy. Then a quick splash of spring water and nary a ground. Strong Smooth and black. A quick swish of water in the pot and let it dry, no wiping or washing.
