I might be biased because I'm Italian, but I find the moka the most convenient method. It's portable, you don't need to buy filters and it's fast

Always keep the used coffee - let dry and burn it later (e.g by putting on the camp fire) and you are free from flying insects as they avoid the coffee smoke. Works so great...

I just watched this whole video and I don't even like coffee. I regret nothing.

You've forgotten the Turkish Coffee !! 2-3 tea-spoon fresh grounded coffee (add sugar if desired) in a tiny pot (cezve) and pour cold water on .. Put the pot on the warm ash of a wood fire .. Let it boil very slowly .. Watch carefully so that coffee don't spill out of the pot !! Pour slowly into a small mug (fincan) ..

Look into turkish coffee, that is what we drink in Croatia everyday. And have a nice cup of coffee!

Another compact option is to use one of the pour-over Vietnamese Phin style coffee makers. Basically stainless steel cup with perforations on the bottom, a perforated tamper/water distributor, and a bottom dish. They can be quite compact if you opt for the small one or two cup makers, and offer a very strong extraction of coffee. There is usually some finer grind "silt" that gets through, depending on how consistent the ground coffee you opt for is, but it's rarely any worse than the last cup of coffee from a countertop coffee maker. Great video Mike!

My parents got me an aero press when they were fairly new, it makes a really good tasting cup. It's more for espresso-like shots but it is great if you like an Americano or a breve.

I use my French press at home and camping. I have an all metal thermos one which is amazing. Doesn’t break like the glass ones, and keeps the coffee hot for hours

[chrispe]

Have you ever tried a reusable teabag for coffee? I’ve found it to be the most space saving method.

[ramonfarr]

When i'm outdoors I mostly take my coffee by just boiling together with the water and pour it in a cup, it's easy and efficent for me

Great reviews

I love my aeropress. I use it everyday working at home.

I really enjoy your videos they are so relaxing and really make me happy

The only thing about an Aeropress is you need a sturdy cup as it takes a strong pressure to push the plunger. And, there are Titanium french presses available that are also 750 ml pots. Bestargot makes a press and filter part that will fit any 750 pot. As well as a french press 750 that also has a bail handle.

Italian tip for a well done espresso : fill the filter till the coffee makes a "little mountain" over the top of it, then close strongly the moka and put it on the fire, you will be ready for a very good espresso😉

AeroPress is my choice! As you say, it’s the art of making it that’s part of the pleasure ☕️

[andrewrigney]

You had me at "coffee". Any new ways of making a rich, flavorful cup are appreciated. Going to try a few of these. Thanks!

I love coffee and making it outside. You touched on French Press, but there are better French Presses to use for outdoors that can be used directly over the fire and double as a cook pot. I have a Bestargot titanium French Press that I use directly over a twig stove all the time. Stanley, Snow Peak and several others also makes similar.

My grandparents took me camping every weekend and I loved it . I remember my granny fixing coffee with a old metal perk coffee maker . Good times.

Thanks Mike. When making billy tea, my Grandfather always used centrifugal force and spun the billy in a wide circle with a straight arm (vertically and about 5 times). This was effective and pushed the tea leaves to the bottom. I have not tried this with coffee grounds, but reckon that would work. You'd need be confident that your billy handle could take the force, but you don't need to be too fast.
