aeropress
Posted 4 years agoStarbucks via sachets.
I have an aeropress, but why carry such a lump around when a handful of tiny foil sachets produces good coffee?
Posted 4 years agoI have stainless steel cafetiere for when I am canoeing.
Posted 4 years ago
I use coffee bags for carrying with light and uberlight stove (one pot, how do you pour?).
I use instant sachet(!) and no milk for uber-ultralight.I have a wife like that.
4 glass cafetieres later, I got two of these stainless steel ones.

Car camping for a week = aeropress. If I was carrying everything on my back I’d be considering posh sachets I thinkBeen through various coffee making scenarios while camping…..what do you use for
1) more than one cup eg cafetiere? Any robust ones?
2) one mug?Simple is best any ideas?
Posted 4 years agoWe got given a box of these which we use on expedition races – they are pretty magnificent really for what they are. http://www.growerscup.com/eng/
Posted 4 years agoSwissgold one cup. It weighs grammes and is indestructible with no papers easy to wash and hygienic
You need something to tamp the grinds onto the gold filter or it’s not so good. I use a cork from a whiskey bottle which weighs nothing. Makes coffee at least as good as caffitierre

Posted 4 years agoStove top espresso pot for me.
Posted 4 years agoStarbucks Via sachets here too. Though, I’ve taken Millicano for longer trips – I’ve tasted far worse from stove-tops.
Posted 4 years agoIt has to be an aeropress. Only £21 on eBay right now.
Posted 4 years agoGround coffee in a zip lock plastic bag (rationed out at one cup per day) plastic funnel and one filter paper per cup. Use the funnel to hold the paper and coffee . Pour boiled water through slowly . A nice little morning ritual and an excellent cup. If not Lakeland plastics do a combined mug and filter caffetiere thing.
Posted 4 years ago^smartcafe I’ve found to be the best solution as it can also be used as a tea/general mug as well. Also used it to make a couple of mugs for others. depends tho, whether you are car camping or bike/backpacking.
Posted 4 years agoAeropress every where, home, camping, bivi.
Posted 4 years agoI’ve got both a Smartcafe and an Aeropress, and it’s got to be the Aeropress every time.
The Smartcafe is good, but it can’t match the quality of coffee the Aeropress kicks out. Plus the Aeropress is bombproof if you bash it about while camping.

Posted 4 years agoStove-top here for the caravan, sachets otherwise. Although I do have a single version of what nobby posted. It’s ok, not really any different to a stovetop though.

Posted 4 years agoStovetop here. For lighter weight trips I usually just go cowboy style – grounds in cup, pour water over, wait a minute for grounds to settle to the bottom, don’t drink too far down

Jetboil seem to disagree with you, it’s the small photo that’s wrong.

Personally I go with the Moka pot but each to their own…
Posted 4 years agoOn my 9 month tour [as a coffee addict]
Just pour boiling water over grounds in a cup. Wait a couple of minutes and stir – THEY ALL SINK!
All you have to do is maybe catch a couple of floating grounds, [usually less than 10], don’t agitate it, and stop before you hit the bottom.
I found that when the grounds are exposed at the bottom of the mug a few little bits will float again, simply press your lips against the edge of the mug and sip gently from below the waterline so as not to slurp in the air/groundsontop.
No equipment required!
Posted 4 years agoI’m not. I don’t use one.
How would you be able to form the opinion that the sachets are better then?
Posted 4 years agoFracking Conran mug…… I forgot about that. It is insulated though, so it may not be good for quick coffee in the AM, and also is bulky.
I use this myself.
Posted 4 years agoGot a Bodum Travel Press very happy.

This works well with coarser ground coffee but not with fine ground like Lavazza. Good method though 🙂

Posted 4 years agoLyons Coffee bags:
Basically ground coffee in a t bag. Brew it like a tea bag (3-5 minutes dunking and stirring for a stronger flavour).
Posted 4 years ago
About £3 for 18 bags in Morrisons.
Lovely 😉
