    Default Camp coffee. What's good?

    I've been roasting my own and making a daily espresso for about the past 15 years. How are you all making coffee that you look forward to drinking when you're camping and on the road? Admittedly, I'm a little spoiled...I've been roasting my own and making a morning espresso for the past 15 years and ALWAYS look forward to my cup and the process.

    I have an Aeropress and hand grinder and it's not great. There must be a better way.

    Whistle kettle and French press. I have Starbucks singles if I'm in a hurry or lazy.

    Pre-grind coffee at home and put in well-sealed container. Snow Peak stove. Ilsa Slancio mokka pot.

    Lido3 hand grinder and a classic Italian screw together Moka Pot. Get your grind right and it's heaven. The Lido3 is a very VERY good grinder.

    *I home roast. Thank you for your service.

    If you really want fancy, espresso machine in the trunk of a wagon/SUV

    If you want to go full hog, something like what's done here. Beware that the two presenters come across as a bit too smarmy.



    But for practicality, what @j44ke suggested.

    I personally pre-grind and bring a French Press

    I think I'll combine your suggestions. A Snow Peak rep gave me one of those stoves, in titanium without the ingition, about 20 years ago and it's a very dependable backpacking stove.

    How long does it take to grind an amount sufficient for the Moka Pot? I can't recall the brand of the hand grinder I have, but by the time I have enough coffee to use the AeroPress, I'm not sure I want it anymore...it's tedious.

    I splurged on one of those Pepper Cannon's last year and am considering throwing some beans in to see how it handles them.

    I came here expecting to read about coffee with pink ostrich feathers. Can you tell I'm not a coffee person?

    RVing with John Waters. That would make for a fun reality show

    I cut the top off a nalgene bottle to make a lexan carafe that my plastic coffee dripper sits on. But the Starbucks instant is pretty passable and saves a lot of time and you don't have to deal with the grounds.

    HA!!!! That's perfect. I'll push for the Moka Pot because it is one "thing" and require nothing other than fire. They are dog cheap and last forever infact please consider burying my ashes in a Moka Pot.

    This and some room temperature water should be good enough, if you're on the road.

    There are some rechargeable electric burr grinders out there. Some are pretty small, but I don't know much about the details. They remind me a bit of smaller versions of the old Krups spice and coffee grinder, just without the cord.

    Sixty turns gets me right around 75 grams or enough for one Large Moka Pot.
