jetboil coffee press, opinions?

[resnikov]

I just got a jet boil in a sale and I'm very impressed with it. I was in an outdoor shop this morning and saw a jetboil coffee press. Just wondering has any one used one? Is it any good or just a gimmick?

I have one and like it, I also have an Ortleib filter now the Ortleib filters all the coffee but whilst waiting it goes cool where as the Jetboil has a habit of allowing a few grounds to escape through but the good bit is you can always add more water and reboil to make another but weaker brew.
If its cheap enough give it a go.

Check out YouTube as there is a woman on there who reviews the jetboil and press and is favorable.

Good bit of kit.

Indeed the tea strainer is good kit for 75p you'd be mad not to buy one

Ahh excellent. Think I will put the coffee press on my wishlist for Christmas.

Coffee press is great but make sure you use it the correct way up!
The recessed area of the mesh filter should face downwards towards the water and grounds.
Although this seems to contradict the way it "looks" like you should assemble the press you will achieve a far better seal and far less "mud"

They do work well, but when your out and about its a bit of a pain to clean your jetboil pot, i like to keep mine clean

There is a pervading odour of coffee that lingers in the pot for some time after in spite of thorough cleaning with washing up liquid.

I tend to use my jetboil to produce the water for use with my Aeropress unless I need to go lightweight in which case the jetboil press gets used.

Life is too short to drink bad coffee (same rules for beer, wine, whiskey, insert chosen beverage)

I know Stu, it was tongue in cheek. Saying that theres a lot to be said for instant, the milicano is really nice and sometimes its just not practicle brewing fresh coffee in the field. Like first thing in the morning, i need coffee, quickly lol

 

[stuey]

I figured you were jesting

I will admit to being impressed by the Milicano instant... Was talked into trying by my good friend Chris da Cat and was very impressed for an instant!

I tend to fulfil my caffeine needs with a good cup of tea first thing which is quick and easy then enjoy a good coffee with breakfast even when I'm out and about in the field


Tend to go for Twinings everyday, Yorkshire or just recently Tescos Capn Scotts exped blend tea.

Then a nice Brazilian espresso roast coffee from Has Bean, ground as freshly as I can manage and brewed either french press or aeropress.

I can almost smell it! Mmmmm

I love yorkshire myself, you've got me heading for the fresh columbian now lol

 

[stuey]

Enjoy! We are away until tomorrow night so will miss my morning RV with my grinder and Gaggia... Rush over night trip staying at my folks so travelling without coffee making implements.

A Nespresso from Mum's pod machine will have to do but for a quick, convenient coffee it is fantastic and suits an almost octogenarian very well

Pretty sure I've a new one in the garage left from my shop days if you're interested in saving a few pennies.
