Coffee Set Ups

[Justin Forrest]

First off, I'm MVHS class of '95.
For the last 15+ years I've been using a French press made of Lexan, a Pocket rocket stove and pot of water. It takes less than 10 minutes from set up to pouring life in a cup.

I have a simple set up.

I can get along as long as I can make it where you can float a spoon in it. It is just right when you have to remember to blink.

I used to pack beans, a grinder, Aeropress, and a Jetboil. Going through the process of building that cup of coffee was enjoyable. Now I pack VIA, powdered creamer, some sugar and I call it good. Hell, sometimes I just brew tea. No matter what I drink I always use my Yeti Lowball.

Backpacking is Jetboil, VIA packet and a packet of hot chocolate in my mug. Overlanding is Jetboil, a Stanley coffee press, and beans I ground at home. Jetboil is quick. Let the ground soak in the Stanley and press after 10 minutes. The Stanley keeps it warm all morning as I drive.

I used to use a french press, still have 2 of them (3 cup and 5 cup), but moved on to the Moka pot and not looking back. Nice strong coffee and makes exactly 2 cups. You can put the pot straight on the fire or use gas which is what I usually do. I keep the french presses for times when I need to make more than 2 coffees.

Cowboy coffee in a stainless percolator on hot coals.

It's what's for breakfast. :)

If I had a little too much of your John Daniels there, I might need more than 2 cups![emoji12]

+1 for Aeropress and a hand grinder. Same thing I use at home.

Would a Kurig work with a 12v / 120v converter?

I tried to hook up a friend's Keurig to the 115v outlet built into my Jeep JKU once but as soon as it kicked on and started sucking power the outlet shut itself off. I then saw that the built-in inverter only allows 150 Watts, which is 1.3 Amps. The Keurig, depending on the model, draws up to 2000 watts, or ~17 Amps. If you have a separate 12v -> 110-120v power inverter that supports at least 2000 Watts for about 3 minutes, you'll probably be fine. You might want to keep your vehicle running while you make coffee

Hmm, I’ll check that out. Thanks

Boil water in a pot.
REI 32oz. French press. Looks like they don't offer it anymore but it seems to be a rebranded Planetary Designs item.
Coffee is more function than a passion for me but I will bring some powder creamer and sugar along to get fancy with. :D

I use the below pour-over brewer, and my favorite coffee with it is Kick Ass by Kicking Horse Coffee.

Just need to boil some water and pour it through!

 

[crrockwell14]

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

Thats a nice portable humidor, too! When I go overlanding, and everywhere else, I always have my pipe, and at least one blend. My favorite blend so far is Wilke 515, which is actually the same blend that the original actor portraying Sherlock, Basil Rathbone, smoked!

I don't think about it to much, first cup Starbucks instant heating the water with Jet Boil while percolator is brewing. And sometimes just the Starbucks due to time.

previously i was doing french press, on the past couple trips this year, i've switched to using an aeropress along with a Hario hand mill. The aeropress is plastic and lightweight. I think I originally convinced wife to buy it because it would be "better" for our camping trips.

Once I forgot to pack Aeropress filters but I gave a piece of paper towel a whirl. I doubled it over and trimmed it to fit and it worked pretty well.

I usually have a couple pipes on me as well, with either my own blends or Steven Books/House of Calabash stuff. Wilke 515 is rum laced, right?
