Real coffee making

[Kepis]

when i measured i had about a 10mm gap betyween the surface of the water and the lip of the mug, i also measured it with the plunger in place to give a true reading of the capacitiy, i use mine all the time, great bit of kit, handy as well when the landowner comes over as you can offer him a cup of real coffee, just remember to serve it in a Swedish folding mug.

I use one of these for my morning coffee at home and when out camping or walking http://www.whittard.co.uk/equipment...ries/tea_filter_basket_for_chatsford_mugs.htm

Not bad for £3

cowboy coffee is the way forward, no exspence as you just use your normal bill or pot....

how it works.....

take your pot billy or what ever, fill it with the required amount of water for your coffee pluss a little bit more, to allow for the coffee to do its thing, heat it on your fire stove or heat source of choice, when it simmers add the coffee of choice, stir well...

heat for another few moments, then remove from the heat or to a cooler spot by the fire...

let it stand for 30 seconds, stir well again then leave for 2-4 mins, by this time the coffee should have sunk to the bottom...

its done, slowly tip of your coffee into your mug, or if your like me and use your mug to brew in, drink away....

thats the cowboy way... it works for me....

Aeropress is the way forward - superb coffee, I use mine every day & my expensive La Pavoni goes untouched...

I bought a mate an Aeropress, and she's an utter coffee connoisseur.

She loved it, and swears by nothing else now.

thanks but i will stick with the coffee press, boiling coffee up will ruin the flavour. fussy when it comes to coffee i am.

I've got one of these http://www.bodum.com/gb/en-us/shop/detail/11067-01/?showsize=true&navid=61

Paid about £8 for it in TKMaxx before Christmas - works with tea and coffee and keeps it warm for over an hour

Cheers

I'm a coffee fiend and have just ordered a MSR coffeemate but having seen resnikov's post, not sure I made the right choice.!!

i got me one of these and cut the handle off - works a treat

Loads available online, just search for cafetiere mug

My one of these died last time i was out after 4 years of daily service indoors and many a trip outdoors, very sad to see her go

I was looking at them, at first i thought you got the cup and filter for 16.99 but then found out it was just the filter. over priced for what it is.

Have had one for 2 years now, excellent bit of kit for us caffeine addicts. Just don't overfill as the mug widens near the top and the plunger doesn't seal there

Some of you lads make life hard lol. Boil your water, add fresh coffee, stir and pour through a tea strainer which cost about 40p in Wilkinson.

I've got all sorts at home from filter to French press to Percolators, press is my favourite home brew, percolator or espresso pots on trips.

I've got one of these, 4.7l Postage to UK is $15 so its £20 for the pot delivered, silly cheap money and a really nice ebay seller

I'll be using this on the back of the wood burner as a gallon water heater mainly

 

[jonajuna]

I have one of them too!

Did say I'm a caffeine addict!

 

[marcelxl]

How I miss my Coffee!

unfortunately Caffeine and I can longer be friends, turns me a little strange these days to say the least!

Maybe too much, too young, too strong but aside from the odd one in a morning, it best if I stay away

Have a couple of different Cafetiere mugs from TKmaxx but usually used the Lyons bags when camping/fishing.

Hi

All good suggestions, I like to use the ortlieb coffee filter which I rectenly reviewed

http://www.ashonthefire.com/ash-on-the-fire/2011/05/canoe-coffee.html

And for that fresh ground taste I use a mini hand mill which also works well
