Let's talk coffee and learn some tricks to recreate that cozy, home-brewed feel while on the road or in the mountains. This video walks you through different setups to make the perfect cup of joe, no matter where you are.

3 Methods to Make Coffee Outdoors

Method 1 - Instant Coffee

Perfect for the minimalist or fast-moving adventurer. These small pouches go anywhere—just add hot or cold water to rehydrate the coffee solids and you're good to go.

Method 2 - French Press

Great for sharing. Boil water, let it cool slightly, add pre-ground coffee, stir, let it steep for 4 minutes, then press and pour. Don't forget to pack out your grounds.

Method 3 - The Pour-Over

For the coffee purist. Boil water, grind fresh beans, place the pour-over filter on your cup, create a well in the grounds, and slowly pour water over the top. Watch it drip through, and repeat until your cup is full. (Add a paper filter for a cleaner cup.)
