Car/canoe camping coffee maker review

[tt11758]

The best coffee I've ever had while "camping" came from room service.

I am proud to say I have never been to a Starbucks in my entire life. If I have to pay the same for 2 cups of coffee as a box of 9 MM, I ain't going in.  Bill T.

On the canoe trips in Canada, we used to put enough coffee to brew in a cheap white sock (brand new and hand washed in only hot water).  We then put it in the strainer of a cheap camp fire percolator.  I won't brag about how good the coffee was...being somewhat honest.  We would use the same coffee for two or three days, adding some new grounds each brew, then bury it with the rest of the trash for that morning.  No coffee grounds clean up at all, just rinse the pot in the river.

I think I would upgrade my personal "kit" to include this for camping.

Instructions here.  Take pre-ground  coffee or pack a hand grinder.

I use the folgers coffee singles, they are little tea bags with coffee in them.  Works great, boil some water throw 1 or 2 of the coffee bags in and done.

You rinse, and throw them in the bushes or on your fire. Not so much where the bear threat is real.

Forgive my ignorance, but I didn't know bears liked coffee....maybe if you left them a mug, they'd be more friendly to you....

Have you ever watched a squirrel, or Chipmunk ?
Do you REALLY want an 600+ pound bear acting like that ?
Got to admit, I'd love to see the video
