After at least 40 years of experimentation, the pour over - this is the Melitta system - is the all around best, by far. Easy, quick, simple, packable, and great tasting. I do it every day, almost without exception. I keep wondering, "Why did it take so long for others to figure this out?" Another worthwhile method, you did not mention, is worth trying. I call it cowboy coffee, although cowgirl or just cowperson coffee will do. Fill a larger pot, like your classic percolator, with water, add your coffee to the top, and bring it to a boil. Just to a boil. Once it turns over a time or two, turn the flame off and let it set, maybe 2 or 3 minutes, and slowly pour a cup. There will be grounds, but amazingly few. Pretty darn good coffee, partner. Thanks for the great videos. You are quickly becoming my favorite camp and pack video person.

For car camping, nothing beats the percolator for ambiance, aroma, and a good pot of coffee. Low and slow over the flame is key to avoid bitterness. I also have some vintage "dripolators" that are an old-school take on the pour-over. I use those at home once in a while.

As a mild coffee snob, I haven't really looked into what method of brewing I like the taste of best. I've had Alpine start before and I'm happy with it, though I need to use two packets in one cup of coffee because of how strong I like my coffee so it would be rather wasteful and expensive for me. At home I use a pour over because it cost me $10 plus filters. Never used French press myself, but I've had and enjoyed French press coffee in the past. Ultimately though, I will never drink coffee in the backcountry. Not because of any factor I stated above, but because coffee makes me need to use the bathroom real bad after about a half hour to an hour drinking it. A trivial issue at home, but for me the hassle outdoors outweighs the benefits I get out of it.

For instant coffee I’ve found buying the bulk containers of the powder, then I carry a smaller plastic jar that I’ll pour just what I need for the trip and number of people into. That’s nice because it’s not quite as wasteful the single serves, you can also mix creamer or sweetener into the instant coffee for convenience too. That can also make cheaper instant coffees more tolerable. Nice for guiding because if you assume everyone in a small crew is going to want some, then some don’t actually want it, it’s not a whole lot of extra weight anyway.

I posted on an older coffee compilation that I had the Bobbie press but I searched for it and I guess it's actually a Bobble! Doesn't come in orange, sadly. Mine is white with mittens. :)

For camping, pour over or cowboy coffee. At home the aeropress is king for me and occasionally take it backpacking if going short distance. Side note: have you done a video on your kitted out van?

Eric- thanks for the great video! In regard to the pour over set up- can you let me know how easy it is to clean the filter and does it plug like stainless steel pour over filters?

That nanopresso is interesting. I’m currently an instant when camping, though I have my grandpa’s old enamel percolator for car camping. I’m really trying to decide if I upgrade with anything for kayak camping.

The benefit to kayak camping is that you can take a bigger option!

I have to say that I really enjoy taking the time to make coffee at home but when I’m back packing, I’ve been trying to pour over message and while it does make a really good cup of coffee, I find it quite a hassle to bring along all that coffee, as well as having to deal with the grounds and the cleanup. I have to admit for backpacking that the instant coffee does seem to win out.

it takes a little extra effort to use any option other than instant. So that usually wins for me too. But on shorter trips I like the extra good taste!

If I'm by myself I just put the grounds in my cup and boil. If I have my wife or kids with me I use a small percolator. I'm not a fan of instant coffee and I haven't tried other methods.

I personally think a percolator is the best for coffee and tea as well but it is definitely not very practical for backpacking, maybe we need to come up with a mini percolator that you could take backpacking, that would be kind of unique🤔

I think we’d get along! I’ve been using the Kalita Wave 155 for Day Hike Pour Overs. Question: can coffee grounds be spread consistent with Leave No Trace principles? Thanks for a great video!

this is tricky and the LNT/backpacking community seems to be split on it. In some cases I pack out the grounds and in other cases I think it's acceptable to disperse the grounds. I look at the biodiversity of the area and think about how quickly the grounds will compost as coffee grounds are actually a good composting material. Dry, arid environments like deserts I lean more towards packing them out.
