Coffee maker

Many times these little rituals are what matters.

Yes -- the ritual of hand-grinding coffee is one reason I do it while camping.

(I'm not a fan of duplicate threads...but obviously I can't resist participating! )

Oh no, am I uncool using my electric grinder?

Oh no, am I uncool using my electric grinder?

At home it's OK -- I do, too. But while camping it's only OK if the electricity is solar-generated...or maybe from a bio-gas powered generator.

Thank God I have Solar, I'd hate to turn in my my coffee geek card.

Or maybe tea?

I use a electric grinder camping,I do have solar, and an inverter.

Hi! We use GSI Outdoors mini espresso makers. We've had them for about 20 years and they work great.

Many years ago I bought one of those nice machines. It has two spouts and makes two cups at a time.
It comes in handy out and about.

Just got my Conejo today. Very easy to use. Much like a french press but with k-cups. It won't be my primary mode of coffee making but its a nice option when I'm in a hurry and don't want to make a mess.

Been a while since anyone has mentioned java makers...

I prefer morning espresso or a mid-day Cafe Cubano. If traveling and need a quick-pick-me-up, just fire up the JetBoil and espresso in less than 5 minutes with the Vev-Vigano Vespress Oro 4-cup Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso Maker.

Most Moka pots are aluminum but I am not a fan of Al cookware.

My favorite espresso bean, Larry's Secret Espresso #17.

I've enjoyed my old school camp stove percolator but it takes a lot of propane to get it nice and hot. Recently I've just gone to my kelly kettle and instant vietnamese coffee. The Viet cafe is cheap and tasty and I no longer need to bring creamer, sugar, and the rest of the coffee fixins. With the kelly kettle water boils fairly quickly with either stuff from my firewood or small stuff found on desert and forest floors.

We have recently started using the "clever dripper"... It's basically a one cup at a time cone type idea, but has a stopper, much like some of the new tea brew gadgets.. Uses a paper filter.. Allows you to let the coffee steep in the grounds for your desired strength.. We used the cone/one cup at a time method for ever with success, I always liked the second cup because the coffee seemed to brew slower.. Now all that has changed.. You still need to change the paper filter and grounds for the second "session", but a far superior cuppa joe than the regular cone..takes up the same amount of space..

Aptly named the Clever, Abid's full-immersion dripper produces a clean, tasty cup that couldn't be any easier to use. To brew a cup, simply place a filter in the brewer, add ground coffee, pour water over the coffee, steep for 2-4 minutes, and then place the dripper on top of your cup. The cup's rim engages the release valve and the coffee begins to drain through the bottom of the dripper into your cup. Depending on the size selected, this brewer takes either a standard #2 or #4 filter, either of which can be selected after clicking "Add to Cart." If more filters are needed, see our listing for Melitta coffee filters .

Abid

Abid is the brains behind the Abid Clever Dripper, a full-immersion by-the-cup coffee brewer. The Abid Clever Dripper is an easy to learn, single cup manual coffee brewer that simplifies the brewing process. To brew, you place the coffee filter and coffee into the Clever Dripper, pour the desired water volume over, let it sit for 3 to 4 minutes, and then set the dripper on top of a coffee mug to drain out. The Clever has a release mechanism on the bottom that allows the dripper to drain when placed on top of the mug. Clean up is as easy as dumping out the filter and rinsing with water. The Clever is the perfect place to start for someone who is wanting an easy to use single cup coffee brewer.

Was not the cut and paste I was after... But you can get the idea....

We nick named it the "coffee bullet"

It may be blasphemy and I could be thrown off the forum but we use instant. We use drip at home and we made drip when camping before there were some reasonably tasty alternatives. Nowadays we usually use Starbucks VIA Ready Brew packets that we keep in the camper with the tea bags. Sometimes we use Trader Joe's Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate or Trader Joe's Instant Coffee. All of these instant coffees are surprisingly good when camping and win hands down for convenience. No fuss, no mess, little wait. I just want a quick cup pre-sunrise before my wife gets up, and then an hour or two later another cup with breakfast. Works for us.

Nah, it would take more than your choice of coffee fix to get you thrown off WTW, Mr. Foot.

And you weren't the first to praise Starbucks VIA -- the first mention was by WTW's sainted founder, DirtyDog.

I love the Starbucks instant. Pretty expensive tho in comparison to grounds. But what isn't expensive at Starbucks? I keep some in the camper for when I am in a rush. Gawd I feel cheap!

Hmm, I guess I'm pretty far behind the curve. I use an enamal pot on a fire or gas stove. It had a percolator in it when I got it, but I only succeded in making ONE good pot of coffee with it. I tossed the percolator parts.

Add enough water for each cup (mug) wanted, plus one. Bring water to low boil, dump in a rounded tablespoon per cup, plus one, and reduce heat a little and let simmer/steep for about 5 minutes. I take it off the heat and let it set for a couple minutes to settle the grounds. Some use a splash of cold water, but it isnt really needed if it sits a couple minutes. Works either way. Pour slowly so as not to disturb the grounds and enjoy. Toss the very last sip in the cup in case a few grounds made in, and toss the last full cup in the pot with all the grounds.

First time I made camp coffee the ex decided she didnt want any after watching me make it. She didnt last long and had to have coffee, even if swimming in grounds (not). She declared it was the best coffee shed ever had.

A small shot of Bulleit bourbon in the coffee when in camp is nice now and then also. and I'm NOT a drinker by any means.

Cowboy coffee -- a fine Western tradition.

Dad used to call it hobo coffee. I think I would pour it through a filter. I'm such a coffee snob. lol
