What Makes Camp Coffee Great?
You can't plan a camping trip without planning for coffee. First thing in the morning it just makes things right having that hot cup of coffee and the rich aroma to get you feeling human again. That morning coffee lets you all take time to plan the day's activities. Sharing coffee in the light of sunrise is every bit as great as a cold brew after the day's work.
What Makes Great Camp Coffee?
The old sourdoughs boiled their coffee in a can and let the grounds settle out - sort of. Simple has always been better, but you don't have to give up everything to enjoy campfire coffee.
First off, you don't want to get fancy, or bring in something electric. It's just not right. The brewing needs to be over an open fire, preferably with light tinder and small bits of wood that won't stay burning longer than it takes the camp to get up and get moving. An even better solution is a small, cheap butane camp stove. For a coffee pot to stand up to these conditions, it needs to be sturdy enough not to get all dented up after a few trips. The bottom that comes between the coffee and the fire should be heavier gauge metal than the rest of the pot. It should have heat resistant handles, be lightweight and easy to clean.
