CATEGORIESHot coffee and cold mornings on the trail went together before “pairing” became popular. Legend has it that some wranglers grew their mustaches long enough to strain grounds from unfiltered “Cowboy Coffee.”
Too bad they didn’t have Active Junky’s three picks for smooth, high-quality caffeinated mornings around the campfire (or stove). Mustache filters or not.
Coffee so delicious that it’s inspired entire coffee competitions. Hot water to coffee in two minutes, countless brew options, easy cleaning and reusable filters please everyone from espresso connoisseurs to caffeine junkies. Cut weight off Aeropress’ 18oz package by leaving funnel, stir rod and measuring scoop at home. Marvel as front country quality becomes divinity in the backcountry.
Nothing fancy, simply a bold, strong step up from instant coffee. The Coffee Press turns most Jetboil models into French presses that heat themselves, allowing you to remove the reusable, collapsible 0.8 oz. plunger before cooking breakfast inside. Testers agree: coffee first, then oatmeal.
When water is as scarce and sacred as every morning minute, jumpstart your routine with GSI’s 8.2oz wonder. Though consistency takes practice, less water equals quick boils and a stainless steel body handles campfire flames. For groups, the Mini Espresso is available in a four-cup model. Or, upgrade to the Glacier Stainless 8 Cup Perc to turn up the volume and get the campsite jumping
