Camping is relaxing, adventurous, and an experience in itself. The calm that you experience away from the hustle and bustle of busy hectic life is always welcomed.
Waking up every morning during camping to an amazing view and nature is incomplete without the aroma of fresh brewing coffee. Every coffee addict will agree that ‘waking up before you have a cup of coffee can be dangerous to the person who wakes you up’. But you cannot carry a coffee-maker with you as it takes space and you need to pack light-weight things while going camping. So, how to have coffee in the wilds, here are some ways you can save the day.
4 best ways to brew a coffee while on camping- easy and effective.
1. Coffee pods and a travel mug (pour over)
Invest in some coffee pods, there are Nespresso compatible pods that you can use to make instant coffee. You don’t always need a coffee pod machine to make coffee using pods.
All you need is hot water, which you can boil over a camping fire.
Next, use the pod and keep it in the pour-over travel mug or a cup, and then pour hot water over it.
The coffee is ready. If you have milk or sugar or cream packets with you, you can add it to the mug as well and mix well.
Also, you can use instant coffee, if you wish. But pods are biodegradable, and they remain fresh.
2. Collapsible pour-over coffee maker
You can invest in a collapsible pour-over coffee maker. It is light-weight and easy to carry. Also, the taste and make of the coffee is the same as any other method.
To make the coffee: you will need to boil water in a separate utensil. Then open the silicone mold of the maker, and put filter and ground coffee in it.
Next, pour over the hot water and let it sit for a while.
Pour water slowly to let it foam.
Also, when you have the coffee, take out the filter, rinse it, dry it, and fold it for reuse.
3. French press
A French press machine is easy to carry and is lightweight as well. Moreover, there are new models in the market that have more features that can help you in the wild.
The latest models of French press allow you to boil water and make coffee with milk in one equipment only.
Also, you don’t have to worry about filters, add your coffee grounds and water, and let the machine do its magic.
Keep in mind that if you don’t have a plugin your campsite or tent, this method won’t work.
4. Percolators
Percolators are perfect for people who like to drink espresso or something other than drip coffee. You can buy it as it works well for home use also. Though the problem with it is that you cannot use it for anything else, and it can be a challenge to pack it. To use it:
In the bottom chamber of a percolator, fill water
Next, in the middle chamber, fill coffee grounds, and place it over water.
Close the top chamber.
Now, place it over stove-top or flames in the wild
With these methods, you will never be without coffee even while camping.
