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

Moka coffee is for those persons who prefer a good strong sip or two of the beverage. North Americans like a good 'mug of Joe' with their bacon and eggs and pancakes.

Then I'd also like to reccomend the video about making cowboy coffee by Kent Rollins. Both channels are quite wholesome.

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'll have to remember that one. I use the dried grounds in a foot and hand scrub as I get pretty dirty in the garden. Another use is to add more water, slosh it about some, and pour it on my jasmine plant. Within a few days I have blossoms!

Does it work if I put the coffee grounds on something like a thin metal plate or mesh over a candle, too? That would be great for campgrounds and other places where you cant have a fire! I might save some "espresso pucks" for that.

Good to know/ Thanks for sharing.

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!

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) ..

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

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

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.

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

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

Coffee is always number 1

I’ve been a big fan of both you and your father for some time now. I’ve even purchased a few of your father’s books off of Amazon or eBay..But even one more reason to enjoy your work on here is you’re a fellow coffee drinker. 😇

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

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.

I don’t know when I subscribed to this channel but I now love it.

Ah the secret to cowboy coffee! Didn’t know about the cold water - excellent thank you 🙏👍

I spend every free moment I have with my backpack and my dog in the mountains I love my coffee especially now that it's getting freezing

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

Dont like that u need disposable filters. Wouldn't a small French press work the same but no filters.

I love my camping coffee ritual. First, up well before dawn. Gotta dig through tge ashes of last night's campfire for an ember to coax back to life. Once the fire is going, I hand grind my beans. Finally I brew using the inverted aeropress method. Just I time to sit back and sip as dawn arrives.

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.

Aeropress and moka pot is the way for me ,great vid fella 👍

I'm loving that custom mokka pot handle

THANKS for a good review of how to brew camp coffee. In my time, camp coffee was most often made using an enameled metal pot and filter basket. Cowboy coffee was a strong contender for equal billing.

i use italian coffee maker every morning ..i dont have coffee machine ! super video thumbs up

Yup! Can't start my life without coffee & when my kids were young, they could make it!

Coffee is a vibe in of itself. Coffee on a fall morning in the woods by an open fire is my dream.

Thanks for a great vid - I agree with you on most things - esp no instant!! The coffee drop is done slightly different here in Australia, and traditionally used for billy tea. Rather than dropping the pot to sink the grounds, you rotate your straight arm in a windmill motion by your side and past your head - centrifugal force sinks the grounds! Cheers mate.

After many cycle tour trips, I found my favourite way to make coffee is to add ground beans in to a thermal flask (with a screw in bung), boiling water and just keep it rotating for 3 to 5 minutes. Typically 5-7 minutes gets the best results so long as you have your bean to water ratio right. Filter it while pouring for some of the smoothest full bodied black coffee you have ever had. Another benefit is the thermal flask keeps it hot the entire time it is brewing.

Roast the beans a day before camping. Crush them during the morning. Put them in tea bags. If you have the option, put the teabags filled with coffee grounds in their own vacuum sealed bags. But that's only when you're camping for weeks and to keep the freshness. For a couple of days of camping, teabags and a good air tight container is all you need.

Coffee is the lifeblood! Thanks for posting.

love the French press , it makes a good cup of coffee , I have a stainless steel one that I use

I can relate to this video so much!!! When I'm camping rough ,if I have a good supply of coffee I'm so happy,like you said,a great way to start the day,listening to the birds and taking in the morning. ☕

Thanks Mike! Love coffee around the campfire 🙂

another variation of cowboy coffee we learned in boy scouts was to drop an egg in the coffee. the grounds will stick to the egg and you just scoop it out with a spoon and toss.

The protein in egg white makes a great clarifier of fluids (including broths). I would separate the egg and use the yolk in scrambled eggs or pancakes.

I just bought a mini french press for a good price. I will never use a percolator again!! Coffee now tastes 100 times better :)

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.

I like the cowboy coffee method. Something about bringing those grounds to a rolling boil to release even more flavor verses the drip method or just hot water.

This makes me want a cup o’ joe, thank you.

beautiful video. love your smooth voiceover. to add to the mokkapot: if you use hot water the coffee will be less bitter, because you basicly give the coffe a 2nd roast if it is on the heat, so the quicker the water is up to preasure/heat the shorter is the roast time :)

I totally concur with your hypothesis.

SUPER informative vlog! I never knew just how many ways coffee could be brewed. Now I want to try ALL of them 😆

Your videos continue to amaze me. Such great material.

Personally I use the aeropress but I keep the filters in the base that unscrews, and the tube on the plunger I fill with a small hand grinder.

Well who would have thunk. Did not know you brits knew about coffee. All the more reason for me to cross the pond. Cheers for the knowledge. Cheers for the coffee. Cheers from Canada

Thanks for showing us. Looks very good. Take care.

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.

I like the French Press the most, i use it at home and there are some made out of steel for outdoor use 😉 easy and clean!

Love the coffee mug!

Coffee is friggin awesome.

I never knew about the handkerchief one, if I ever go camping I'll remember to try that, thanks I learned something new

I'm partial to an old school enamel percolator when there's room for it! Otherwise I make it cowboy style but I've started using reusable muslin infuser bags as recommended by Simon A Bloke In The Woods

I just use an old fashioned coffee maker (percolator) I can put on the fire. Best coffee pot. The coffee press looks like it will work great, as well.

Doc, once you get the water temp and steep time dialed in french press coffee is the best there is. It takes a little trial and error to get it right but its worth it. One thing to do is once you pour your first cup, transfer the rest of the coffee to another container to prevent it from becoming bitter.

Boiling coffee the "cowboy" way makes it less acidic for those who get bad heartburn. That cold water at the end really works. Coffee has been made that way for a long time.

Wow this was very helpful. Thanks

Thank you Mike... COFFEE is a staple in many camps across the globe!! Glad you demonstrated several modes. With the French Press style & even the Moka style, we use a regular coffee filter to help trap the finer coffee particles. On the Moka, the filter is placed over the grounds before screwing on the top. The remaining filter paper hanging out can be easily removed to prevent catching fire. With the press, the filter is placed between the press & grounds, with the filter edges along the press vessel, however press slowly. Either mode of filtering, I call "polishing" the coffee. So far we've not experienced any issues.

Great video, mate. I’ve worked around coffee for over 20 years and I agree, part of the pleasure is simply the routine of making it. For camping and traveling, I personally go aeropress. It’s super light, easy to clean, and you can make something similar to an Americano. All methods are fun though. All comes down to personal taste.

I like the portable grill. Over lock down I made my own n a friend and myself would go to the woods and do home made burgers that tasted amazing over the coals from the fire, even the wife`s came a few times and enjoyed it. Great video

Neat, didn't know it was called cowboy coffee in English. In Finnish it's "Pannukahvi" (Pot coffee) as opposed to "Suodatinkahvi" (Filtered coffee) from coffee machine. And bonus points for kuksa.

Any coffee's good Mike. With the French press if you pour some hot water into the glass cylinder first off to heat it ... empty out and do your usual process you'll get a better coffee. Use this method most days along with the Bialetta. Bushyboy Oz

Thanks for the video! 👍

Great stuff, thanks!

I love both the moka pot and the aeropress. For the aeropress, I have a stainless steel filter rather than the paper filters. It lets through a tiny bit more fine grounds, but you also get some of the oils that you would get with espresso style coffee. Just make sure you don't lose it when you eject the grounds! You can also set up the aeropress inverted. There are loads of videos showing how to do this.

Your a legend mate

Now to brew my morning coffee. Wonderful narration Mike of the different methods of making coffee. 💯❤👍

That method around the trhee minute mark to "bounce" the coffe always brings a smile and shake of my head. 1. The coffe grounds used when boiling coffee is heavier than water and sinks to the bottom while you wait for the temperature to sink. Just pour gently and you´ll have perfectly fine coffee with not to much coffe stuck between your teeth. 2. If you want to apply some motion it´s far more efficient to just spin the kettle like a propeller. Works fine in a centrifuge... 3. If your sensitive about getting some grounds with the coffee you have larger problems just being out in the woods (joking).

the italian method i think is the most reliable on camp because i think it might be used to clean water by boiling and separate the filthy water in the first chamber, leaving the good, hot, and clean boiled water on top of it.

Excellent vid. I had no idea! 👌

I haven’t seen the coffee drop method before but I have seen both cowboy coffees and billie tea made by swinging it over your head. Already having a mocha pot with a melted handle I will be stealing the handle modification idea💡
