coffee

[greenwood]

If like me you enjoy a nice cup of coffee when out and about sat in a wood at camp, my friend and I use a boiler pot like:

Iv seen "real cowboy" coffee where they use a sock in the pot, clean one I hope

What do you use for that real coffee? any gadgets or tips?

also do you re-use the brewed coffee or use new?

I used to have a filter coffee maker at home that had a 'paperless' filter cone - it had a fine plastic mesh instead. Long gone, now, but I'd like to find another filter cone like that (there is an outdoorsy one somewhere for about a tenner, but I haven't looked into it yet).

I would have to be really struggling and desperate to reuse the grounds if that's what you mean. Coffee must be fresh brewed to taste right - even real coffee that's been in a flask for an hour or two is revolting (I'd rather drink rat pack instant tea, and I don't drink tea).

that's it a great gadget, must put that on the Santa list, thank you :You_Rock_

 

[greenwood]

i know what you mean flasks OK but just don't taste the same, could use just a filter i guess like this?

I want to avoid using filter papers on the basis that they aren't much use if they get wet. Also want something compact (so no mocha pot). Google "gsi ultralight java drip" for the thing that I'm thinking of.

'Flip' pots are not a new idea

I use a percolator for fresh coffee when camping. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LARGE-20-...911?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec4aa8047 Is the biggest I've got now, he charges ten dollars delivery to the UK.

I've been using one of these lately ..

Essentially the same as the MSR mugmate but a third of the price, Toddy had a link to them for around £3 but I can't find it right now.

Another option is the GSi stainless Dukjug with the H2J0 filter, makes a cracking brew but a bit more faff

I like to use a filter, very light and simple. Filter papers stored in a waterproof baggie.

+1 for the Smart Cafe mug.

Lyons coffee bags. Jacko1066 turned me onto these.

IMO, they taste just as good as a cafetiere coffee. As lightweight and simple as real coffee gets.

TBH though, I still prefer the taste of Nescafe Espresso instant over the above and also most proper coffee including all Costa's coffee and the like.

The best coffee I have ever had was brewed in the woods volunteering with a wildlife trust 20 years ago. A simple silver coffee pot with the grinds floating freely and never washed out. Not even a sock to catch the grinds, we offered the grinds at the bottom of the cup to the slugs

Swiss gold filters if going light.

But really you do need to roast and grind the beans in camp for the perfect cup of coffee

I use a small plastic coke bottle to put ground coffee in, a tea strainer that I've reduced the handle a bit to fit inside my small billy can and that's about it. Boil water, chuck in coffee, pour into mug via tea strainer = nice cup of coffee.

Don't laugh Red, these really do roast coffee beans well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-1200W...=UK_HGKitchen_SmallApp_RL&hash=item43b7047015

They do Rik very well - but not on a camp fire! I have wondered about those chestnut roasters with a hand turned paddle

Yuk, they're so insipid they turn my stomach!

there are popcorn poppers with a hand turned paddle arrangement also - for example Whirley Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper -
