Cowboy
Coffee
Cowboy
coffee is one of the classic ways to make coffee for camping, or even just
coffee in general. This is one of the easiest ways to make coffee and it works.
What
you'll need
This easy
recipe only requires a coffee pot or kettle that can be heated over a flame.
You'll also need water and coarse coffee grounds. This recipe requires minimal
equipment so you don't have to bring a lot of gear to the campsite.
How to
make Cowboy Coffee
To make your
cowboy coffee, you must first assemble your ingredients. Add your coffee to
your kettle along with cold water. Pour about two tablespoons coffee per
serving and 8 to 10 ounces water.
Then, place
the kettle on the fire. You'll have to wait for the kettle to heat up, but keep
an eye on it so it doesn't take too long.
As soon as
the water starts to boil, remove the kettle from the heat. Add a splash or two
of cold water into the coffee to stop the brewing.
Stir it and
allow it to sit for a couple of minutes. The coffee grounds will settle at the
bottom and stop the brewing. It will also help you avoid slurping up any coffee
grounds. Pour out the coffee once the grounds are settled.
The Pros
and Cons Of Cowboy Coffee
This method
is easy to use and does not require a lot of equipment. It does, however,
require a large kettle that can take up quite a bit of space.
This method
does not do a great job at filtering out the coffee grounds. You may find a few
in your cup. It's easy to overbrew the coffee and end up with a bitter cup.
This may not be the most ideal way to begin your day.
Moka Pot
The Moka pot
is another coffee method. A Moka pot produces a coffee concentrate somewhere
between espresso and black coffee.
Supplies
This
method requires ground coffee, water, and a Moka Pot.
How to
make Moka pot coffee
Remove the
top portion of the pot. Fill the bottom of the pot with water, just below the
safety device. Remove the grounds basket. Try not to push the grounds down as
you fill up the basket.
Reassemble
the Moka pot, and place it on the fire. As soon as you put boiling water into
the bottom section, the pressure from the rising water will force the water
through the coffee grounds and out the spout.
You now have
coffee. If you like, you can add a little hot water to dilute the coffee.
The Pros
and Cons Of Moka Pot Coffee
If you know
what to do, this method will make a really good cup of coffee. It's a process
of trial and error. This is a fairly involved way to make coffee. It's a pain
to clean and carry the stainless steel pot when camping.
The Moka pot
can only make one or two cups of coffee at a given time. It's going to take
some time if you are brewing for large groups.
Pour-Over
Pour-overs
are probably on the menu of your local specialty shop. Pour-over coffee is a
delicious way of brewing coffee, used by both coffee experts and coffee
enthusiasts.
What you'll
need
Pour-overs
require a coffee cup, a funnel for pouring, a coffee-filter (either a metal or
paper filter), and hot water.
Pour-Over
Coffee
Pour-overs
work in a similar way to drip coffee makers, except that you pour the water
instead of the percolator.
Pour-over
funnel: Place the funnel on top of your coffee cup. Place your grounds in the
funnel. Put your filter into the funnel. Pour the water in small bursts over
the grounds and let the dripper do its work. In just a few minutes, you'll have
an amazing cup of coffee.
Use about
two tablespoons per serving of the coffee grounds, and 10 ounces water.
The pros
and cons of pour-over coffee
This is an
incredibly delicious way to prepare coffee. However, the process is quite
involved. This method also requires some equipment. This method is only able to
make one or even two cups at a given time.
French Press
The classic
French press. It's one of the best ways to make coffee and is also a lot of
fun.
What you'll
need
All you need
to make French press coffee while backpacking or camping is a French Press
brewer, some coffee grounds and hot water.
How to
make French Press Coffee
While you're
waiting for the water to boil, get your coffee grinder out and grind up your
beans or grab pre-ground beans. While you wait for the water to boil, grab your
coffee grinder and start grinding your beans. You will want to coarsely grind
your beans.
Pour out
your wonderful cup of coffee, and enjoy the taste.
The Pros
and Cons Of French Press Coffee
There are
downsides to a French Press. While it makes a cup of coffee that is rich and
full-bodied, there are also some. The majority of French presses can only make
2 or 3 servings. They are also too large to pack in a backpack. Small French
presses can only produce one serving.
Aeropress
Aeropress is
the latest brewing method. It is unique and innovative. It's a favorite among
some coffee drinkers. Imagine it as an upside down French press. Fun!
What
you'll need
You'll need
a special Aeropress brewer as well as coffee grounds, hot tap water and an
Aeropress mug to make Aeropress.
How to
make Aeropress Coffee
Bring your
water to a rolling boil by placing it on a heat source. As the water is heating
up, prepare your filter and grinds. Screw the circular screen onto the bottom
of your brewer. Insert the filter. Place your grounds in the brewer. Leave the
plunger out and place it directly on your mug.
Fill up your
Aeropress with boiling water. After two minutes, place the plunger into the
mixture and press down. As if by magic, the coffee will appear at the bottom.
The pros
and cons of Aeropress Coffee
This is an excellent
method for brewing coffee. This method is flexible because it can produce a cup
of coffee or a strong espresso that can be diluted by adding water or milk. You
can make four cups of coffee at once.
It is a bit
of a strange brewing method that requires some equipment and practice. The
brewing process is a little strange and not intuitive for beginners. It may
take you a few attempts to perfect the brew. This is not a good option for
campers looking to minimize their gear.
Instant
Coffee
Instant coffee
is a staple of camping trips. It is one of the simplest methods. You don't have
to be a barista to make a good cup of coffee.
What
you'll need
This method
only requires instant coffee bags, a mug, and hot water.

and Cons Of Instant Coffee
