"Camping is an amazing way to reconnect with nature and get back to basics. But unless your camping trip is a form of detox, there's no reason to give up all your creature comforts. If you're someone who needs a cup of Joe to get started in the morning, there are plenty of ways to make coffee while camping."
"Through-hikers will need to be particularly aware of weight limitations, as well as access to water along the trail. Even if you're taking a less adventurous approach and driving all the way to the campsite, you still need to consider how much space these coffee brewing options take up, and how easy they are to use and clean. All these methods will require a way of heating water, so it's assumed you have a pot and access to gas stove or campfire."
"Cowboy coffee is the OG method of brewing coffee on the trail. All it requires is a pot for heating water and some pre-ground coffee beans. Traditionally, the grounds would have been boiled in the water similarly to other old-school coffee brewing methods. But you can save your taste buds a little torment with just a couple of extra steps."
Camping offers ways to reconnect with nature while retaining comforts like coffee. Brewing method choice depends on drink preference and trip type. Through-hikers must prioritize weight and water access. Car campers should consider space, ease of use, and cleaning. All brewing approaches require heated water, so a pot and stove or campfire are assumed. Day hikers can use battery-powered espresso makers such as the WACACO Minipresso GR that heat water for brewing. Overnight campers typically include a stove among cooking essentials. Cowboy coffee uses a pot and grounds, with specific timing and stirring steps to reduce bitterness and achieve drinkable results.
