How To Brew Coffee While Camping

There are a million different ways to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, but few of them can compare with enjoying a cup of Joe while you’re camping. Breathing in fresh air, enjoying the sounds of birds singing and sitting around a roaring fire somehow all come together in a way that just seems to make coffee taste better.

Of course, if you’re not careful about how you brew your coffee, you can still brew a bad cup of coffee. It might even be easier to brew a bad cup while you’re camping then when you’re in your own kitchen. That’s why we’ve decided to put together this little guide which will tell you how to make a cup of coffee while you’re camping.

Choose a Brewing Method

Campers have several options when they’re making a cup of coffee while they’re camping. They can choose to use a drip camping coffee maker, a percolator or a French Press. Either of these methods can be used to create a great cup of coffee, but you have to know how to properly use them to get the best effect. If you use any of these coffee making tools improperly, then you’ll end up with a cup of Java that doesn’t taste all that great. Having stated that fact, let’s get started and find out how to brew a great cup of coffee with your preferred method of brewing.

Brew Your Coffee

Now that you have chosen your preferred method of brewing, and have gathered your coffee grounds, then you are ready to begin brewing your own coffee. Here are the various ways that coffee can be brewed at your campgrounds of out of the back of your RV.

Method One: Camping Drip Coffee Maker

Although we’re sure there are various models of camping drip coffee makers, the ones that we’ve concerned ourselves within this article are propane powered ones and ones that sit on the campfire. However they’re heated, the basics are pretty much the same with each model, except with a propane model you have to connect the device to a small propane tank.

These devices are operated by pouring water into the back reservoir. Coffee grounds are then spooned into the swing-out filter basket. The propane models are then started, and the stove-top models are placed on a camping stove. These coffee makers make coffee in 15-minutes or less.

Method Two: Percolating Camp Coffee

Making coffee using a percolator is pretty simple. Open the percolator’s lid, remove the basket insert and the tube and set them aside. Then place clean water into the kettle. Place a filter in your basket and add a couple of tablespoons of coffee. Reinsert the tube and the basket into the percolator and place the lid back on it. Now, all you have to do is place it on your preferred source of heat. Within about 10-minutes, you’ll have fresh, hot coffee that you’ll love to drink.

Method Three: Using A French Press

French press coffee is really simple to make. For each cup you intend on brewing, add one tablespoon of freshly ground coffee. Once you’ve done that then you can boil one cup of water for each cup of coffee. Once the water has reached a boil, allow it to sit for 30-seconds and rest, so it can come down to the perfect brewing temperature. Now pour half of this water into your press, and let the coffee bloom for 60-seconds. After that’s been done, finish adding the rest of the water and allow the mixture to steep for 2 to 3-minutes, depending on your coffee strength preferences. When it’s done brewing, press the plunger down as far as it will go. You can now pour your coffee into a coffee cup and enjoy its aroma and flavor.
