Does anyone make proper coffee in the woods and how?

[pauljm116]

I have recenly started having proper (i.e not instant) coffee at home using a cafetiere and much prefer it to instant. So have decided that I would like to have a decent coffee in the woods. I was wondering if many people had proper coffee when out and about and if so how do you brew and filter it?

I have ordered one of these http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product135.asp to try but would prefer a cafetiere style, I notice that jetboil do one but I have recently sold my jetboil so that one is no good, snowpeak do a nice titanium one but its expensive any other ideas?

i use a smart cafe, good little cup and great for keeping your drink warm. some people cit the handle off for packability and weight reduction.

I'm still waiting to try out the bothy blend from Glen Lyon Roasters which is ground for use in cafetiere, if its as good as the filter coffee then I will invest in a field cafetiere.

A quick review of the Mug Mate would be nice

I put grounds into a billy can of boiling water and let it come back to the boil, then take it off the heat. When the grounds have settled at the bottom of the can, the coffee is ready and can be decanted into a cup.

Yes, the old way.
Coffeepot on the fire, rolling boil, coffeegrinds, stir, simmer, dash of cold water, simmer, pour & enjoy!

I like to brew it up on an open fire in one of these then pour it through a filter. Tbh if you let it settle for a bit you dont really need the filter,just pour it off the top. I like the traditional feel of the open fire and the railwaymans Billy can.

+1 for the Smart Cafe.

Another cowboy coffee fan here. No need for anything extra or fancy to please me, just nice grounds and water.

I use percolator, cafetiere, drip filter whatever takes my fancy. The easiest is boil water, add fresh coffee, stir and pour into mug via a 35p tea strainer.

ToH's Aeropress makes nice coffe in the field: http://www.taylorscoffee.co.uk/products/coffee-equipment-gifts/aeropress.asp

I usually just go for the cowboy method if it's worth doing a good sized pot, For single mugs or a couple of drinks I use a filter similar to what Resnikov put up or my GSi Dukjug with H2j0 filter

EDIT:

Found my one mug filter, same as the MSR but a bit cheaper ...

Its a percolator so not 'cowboy' coffee.

I use an Aladdin thermos coffee press. Cost about £3 from Boyes I think.
works very well and keeps it warm for ages.
cheers , Simon

I prefer 3 in 1 coffee when out n about. Save the good stuff for in the house.

I use one of these, with filter papers. Plastic, lightweight and unbreakable. Can be used to filter water before boiling, at a push.

If I've got a camp going from the car then yes, I make proper coffee in a steel jug and use a strainer for the grounds.
