How do you make your coffee while /out/?

I've been using instant coffee for the longest, but it's just not the same- and percolators are too heavy / awkward to carry.

What do, /out/ ?

Instant coffee in a small plastic container + container of dried milk if I feel luxurious (I usually do this if I want fancy oats, otherwise I'd buy those little coffee sachets).

I guess if you're taking a car, you could take a french press and some filter coffee.

Just make cowboy coffee anon. You can make it as a pot or on a per cup basis.

All you need is a container that you can boil water in and (optional but preferable for groups) cups. Place water in pot/cup/container over fire/heat source, throw in desired amount of grinds, then let boil. If you want a real kick in the ass make it the night before then in the morning boil it again.

take your pot and throw coffee beans into it and then water bring it to a boil and gently pour it so the grinds stay at the bottom.
Or do like a do take a coffee filter pour some coffee into it and then tie the filter shut so you have a makeshift tea ball think or a tea bag then throw that in your coffee cup and let it steep like tea.

God, no!

Tea contains oxalic acid which will crystallize and form kidney stones. You put in a dash of milk to neutralize the oxalic acid.

And tea leaves a residue. You don't brew the tea in the kettle because after you've done that a few times you can only make tea in it as the water tastes a bit like tea. The amount of cleaning necessary to remove that film of residue stands in no relation to just brewing your tea in your cup, which is more easily and regularly cleaned.

Furthermore you don't want your tea in boiling water. Black tea should be brewed just below boiling, green tea half way between that and hand warm.

And for heaven's sake, take out the tea bag after 2 minutes!

H-has no one suggested a pourover yet? Just get a metal or plastic pourover cone and you can stick it on top of your thermos/nalgene/mug. Just put cone filters in it, put ground coffee, pour just-off-the-boil water over it and you'll have coffee in like 2 minutes.

You can get a cheap plastic pourover cone for like 5 bucks. You won't even notice the weight of a plastic one.

i'm not familiar with the process, im just looking at google pics, but the aeropress doesn't appear to leave the grounds brewing in the water while drinking. this is the problem coffee diehards have with french press and in the case of camping cowboy coffee. this is also why pour-over is growing in popularity compared to the french press.

although i understand the issue i wouldn't myself expect or prepare for precision brewing in an outdoors setting. cowboy coffee is fine imo

3 in one vietnamese instant coffee. probably the cheapest, lightest way to go. Just go to any asian supermarket. You just better like sugar and creme added but I'm telling you its the best option for strong easily toted coffee. Vinacafe or nescafe recommended. About $5 for 20 packets.

Cowboy coffee is something that's great if done right but most people don't do it right. I used to work at a historical park where some actual retired cowboys would make some every sunday morning and man was it good.

The french press idea is also a decent way to make a single cup of espresso. I find it incompatible with my views on camping though. Just a touch too much trouble.

You can do away with those when using paper filters, just put it in the cup with the coffee in it, pour the water in and lift it out with your hands. Wait for it to drain no worries. You can even give the paper a rinse and let it dry out, get a couple of uses.

I've got a Coleman camp coffee maker that I've used for years but recently, a buddy turned me on to Starbucks instant coffee and despite my misgivings, it's tastes good and is a lot easier to deal with at camp then lugging a coffee maker along.

This is the worst way to make coffee, as by continually recirculating it back down to the burning hot bottom of the pot, you're burning all the flavor out of the coffee.

You'd be much better off by tossing the percolator parts and using the pot simply to heat the water, pouring it into a French press or using instant coffee.
