How Do You Make Coffee (The Juice Of Life)

We use these in our percolator. I found them at on Amazon but I've seen them at the grocery store too.

Nice. I didn't know they made these. I've been cutting holes in the cone filters for years. I will have to order some of these. Funny how you just get used to doing the same thing. Thanks.

We also do the pour-over but in one of those silicone cups which is just rinsed out afterwards We cover it to keep the heat in (not seen). We rarely camp in hot weather.

I generally make coffe in one of two ways. I use a cheap ($20) Walmart K-Cup brewer if I'm on Shore Power, or power it via the Inverter in my truck if not. I bought that one specifically because it only pulls around 900 watts and my little Inverter is happy with it. If I'm brewing for multiple people, I have a Coleman Quickpot drip brewer with carafe that runs off of propane. Never an excuse to not have the morning cup of Joe!

For many years we drank "camp coffee" made in a vintage stainless steel tea kettle: boil water, add ground coffee, steep a few minutes and add a bit of cold water to settle the grounds (or pour through a little sieve or tea strainer).
As so often happens, we've added refinements, many from thrift stores. First a big thermos to keep the coffee hot. Then a Bodum (French press) for making the coffee so the kettle would stay clean for other uses ... then for Christmas one year a bigger and nicer thermos with a handle that wasn't broken ... and every year I consider splurging on a double-walled stainless steel bodum ...
In other words, it's never-ending!

Absolutely. The original drip coffee maker I have had the same Melita cone type filter coffee making apparatus since 1996, bought it in Hong Kong while working on the new airport. Back then it was under British rule and everyone had tea, so I had to figure out a way to have my coffee. Still have the same stainless vacuum mug that I bought for that trip too!

I second the classic Melitta pour over coffee maker. It's quick, reliable and makes good coffee. I've had one for over 30 years and it's still going strong!

 

[NLawson]

Us too. We have had the same one for 35 years now. It just works!

I used to use this exact one as well - I still keep it as a back up . My primary melitta version is the ceramic one now.

Javy liquid coffee concentrate, heat water and put in a couple teaspoons, they have several flavors. Some of the best and smoothest coffee I ever tasted come from concentrated liquid coffee, a restaraunt in Hilton head sc the crazy crab has some killer coffee made from liquid concentrate.

When we have hookups, we use a 1 cup K-cup machine. I have to brew it twice in a smaller cup and dump it into my insulated mug. It's kinda small, but works.
When we're boondocking, I have a french press that I really like. Sometimes I use it instead of the K-cup machine just because.

We used a press but gave up on it after trying to clean it out. To much effort and water was required and we bring our own at many sites. This is why we switched to silicon drip cup that filters via paper. We later dry out the filter and burn it.

I use a percolator with a filter. Take a fender washer that fits loosely over a ¼" drill. Drill through a pack of basket filters while pressing down the washer on top and with scrap wood on the bottom. Then slip a filter into the basket (tight fit) and percolate! You will never go back.

I love this suggestion best. I have a stainless-steel percolator I only used camping, then last year I plugged a small water boiler into my Jackery and made french press coffee, but as said, it's a pain to empty and clean! I do have a single cup cone drip I could use, and I'll try again and compare taste, but I'm going to return to my percolator and do the drill with bucket filters. The single Melita filter mentioned still will have grounds up the side of the coffee ground holder. I'd rather throw away the whole filter with grounds, rinse pot and be done!

coffee press, same as at home

Have tried several methods for campsite coffee. Some worked well but my personal choice for quite a while was the same collapsible pour over Aronson showed. My problem is getting easily distracted. (Seriously, super easily distracted.) What I needed was something like an unplugged version of an autodrip coffee maker. At home I have a 50+ year old Corning Ware version I inherited from my grandmother.

Recently, I found a variation that is great for camping. This OXO pour-over dripper is simple, easy, inexpensive, and makes great coffee. My problem is solved!

Actually more like liquid coffee concentrate. The ginger reminds me of a cold press coffee I had recently that included a bit of cinnamon and cream.

My DH likes the Coleman Drip pictured above. It does take up a lot of room packing-wise, but the coffee is the way he likes it. We've also done the percolator thing, and even instant (gasp!), but he likes the drip unit over the burner the best. Never thought to take the French press camping, but probably won't, because it makes much less coffee, and you can't keep it hot over a minimal flame while drinking the first cup!

Percolator, Keurig Single cup or my Bunn...depends on the circumstances.

Love my Melitta pour over into a thermos carafe. Don Pablo Signature blend.
However, I also LOVE Community Coffee/Chicory blend. Problem is it’s ground too fine, plugs up my paper filter. So I’m forced to use a Cuban expresso pot for that.
Either way, I pack way too much equipment . But…I’m a happy camper every morning.
