Quick, easy, and good coffee when camping. Options

josh, yup, agreed, a mate gave me his when he moved out of a houseshare so free to me.

In terms of value and cost per use, I’ve used it thousands of times, and it still looks just the same as it did 10 years ago. Don’t know how long Dave had it before me.

WOW, some great ideas so far.

Sure beats the sieve with a tissue I had to use last weekend following the mistaken assumption that our rented cottage would have some means to make a decent coffee 🙂

Buy another cafetiere from Sainsbury’s (£6 for the mini) and risk breaking it again.

I’ve got a stainless cafetiere for sailing trips. From Heals sale many years ago.

The silicon gasket might smell a bit when new but I am not bothered.

Very good and simple to use.

This may or may not be any good for making coffee but I like his survivalist style of home decoration.

Was hunting for the Bodum drip coffee maker I have (which is a little fiddley to get the coffee amount right, but otherwise pretty good) and came across this, which looks interesting: http://www.johnlewis.com/bodum-travel-press-coffee-maker-set-with-extra-lid-0-35l-black/p450068

Edit: kinda similar to this: https://www.rei.com/product/798277/gsi-outdoors-collapsible-javadrip-slim-drip-coffee-maker?cm_mmc=aff_AL-_-133859-_-191497-_-NA&avad=191497_ed97303b

I use the Aeropress when car camping.

The main reason for this over all of the other options is that the cleanup is SO easy. Just pop the puck of grounds into the binbag and wipe off the plunger. Ready to go again.

Cafflano – All in One Coffee Maker

If weight is really an issue I make coffee “cowboy style:” Put ground coffee in mug. Add hot water. Stir. Wait 5 minutes. Grounds have sunk to bottom (a few taps on the side helps. Drink, leaving last 1/2 inch in bottom of mug. Works for me because I like my coffee strong and black anyway. You may get the odd speck of grounds, but this is camping, not a hotel.

Plus you will save space not having to pack any laxatives.

I’ve had a couple of those Bodum french press mugs and I like it. Mine is a plastic one and is pretty light. I even tend to carry when working out and about if I know that I’m not likely to find decent coffee.
