Is it possible to make homemade instant coffee? #campcoffee #homemade

All of our miles outside have been possible thanks to gallons and gallons of instant coffee — it’s time that we learn how to make it on our own! We decided to test out if it can be done with our freeze dryer!

I’ve seen a few people do this and the one tip I’ve seen is load the tray into the freeze dryer before the liquid. Makes for less mess

So what you are saying is i should try to freeze dry redbull?

Instant coffee tip, dissolve into a small amount of room temp water before adding hot water. Game changer on flavor.

A hack that I've seen other people do is to load the trays into the machine empty, then slide out the tray 2 inches, pour in the liquid, then gently slide it back fully in place.

I would think to use less water in the coffee so that it would even out once you add back to hot water. Not so watered down.

Here for the reused talenti containers 🙌

Appreciation for the Talenti ice cream jars for holding your homemade instant coffee ❤

I'm confused. You're going from instant coffee to freeze-dried coffee and back to hot coffee? Isn't that just adding unnecessary steps? Why not just use instant coffee? I

[sashaasimchak]

I have seen that if you pre-freeze trays the drying process is faster, plus I would think frozen coffee trays would be easier to carry as well😁

You can also bag your drip coffee into the same filter you used and tie it off like a tea bag and have coffee tea bags ready to use on the go for anyone without a freeze dryer. It’s not as fast but it’s close and works

[JoeysClones]

Comparing cost; Would You say this is also a cheaper method than just buying the single serves?

[breadroomghost]

How much does it cost you on PG&E to run a cycle of the freeze dryer?

HELPFUL TIP TO LOADING LIQUIDS

1: DONT REMOVE THE TRAY
Bring the liquid to the machine instead of putting trays on the table and pouring liquid in
Pour the liquid right into the trays as the trays are STILL IN THE MACHINE ❤

[harmonicaveronica]

Ive heard that when freeze drying liquids, it often works better/faster if you put it in your regular freezer first, then transfer to the freeze drier once already frozen

These guys have a 10-course meal dehydrated that weighs 6 oz. LEGENDARY.📡🇺🇸👽 LIVE THE DREAM.

I thought this would be obvious but why not buy instant coffee ???

[josephferrell]

You should use youre little camp stove and cup wile testing the coffee !!

[Rye-cesh]

Cool! Just curious.... Was the reason for freeze drying your own instant coffee to control the ingredients? Or maybe you prefer the beans at home?
I'm new here, and enjoy watching the prep videos as much as the trail vids 😊

What about making a cup how you’d like it (creamer, sweetener, flavors etc) then freeze drying it? I LOVE YOUR IDEA!!! Now to see it I can find a freeze dryer. What about dehydrating it? I have that and do a LOT of dehydrating
