Lol, This forum is beginning to cost me some money.  I love great coffee, so just I had to go out an buy the Aeropress after reading all the comments on here.  I have to admit, it is slick.  I have found that the inverted method brews a near flawless cup, everytime.

The cleanup is probably the biggest selling point.  Too easy.

Dragging out this old coffee thread to share.

 

In my search for an occasional cuo of coffee without shore power (or dragging out the Honda 2000) I was looking for inverters to power my little k-cup type single cup machine.

 

many of you suggested everything in this thread, so in the process of learning about all of the suggestions I found this k-cup press at cabela's

I actually have one of those. Unused since I haven't become that desperate for a cup of coffee yet. I actually drink better coffee camping than I do at home.

...I actually drink better coffee camping than I do at home.

 

Me, too...maybe.  I use an Aeropress when camping, but at home I use a Mr. Coffee (mini) automatic drip as my "daily drinker".  So, theoretically at least, my camping coffee should be better than my home brew.

I love my aeropress.  I use a melitta when camping (even backpacking!) but the aeropress makes a better cup.  That k-cup version of the aeropress is cool but:

- small amount of coffee per cup

- someone else chose the coffee to put in there... and how old is it?

- can't let the water sit on the coffee. Aeropress is typically only 45 sec or so, but still.

 

- on the positive side, no mess!

Stovetop espresso maker from IKEA. $20. Perfect.

Glad to see someone else has seen the light. Stovetop espresso pot (mine is a Bialetti SS) is truly the best for not only brewing but cleanup is so simple. No filters to buy and dispose plus it is incredibly durable for bouncing around on bad roads. I use a  AeroPress  at home or occasionally the French Press and Melitta based on quantity and speed. But I've been seriously  thinking of getting a larger stovetop Bialetti for home use.

I had a Bialetti but I didn't care for the taste of the coffee it produced, plus it wasn't all that easy to clean. Plus side you could get it ready in advance and just heat it up in the morning and have coffee.

For flavor my first choice is definitely the Aeropress, it is hard to compare. I just think for truck camping there is too much fiddling and clean up is minimal but still more involved then the Bialetti. I just flip the coffee plug out the door into the sagebrush and give the pot a quick rinse.

For sure the convenience of night before prep is hard to pass up. I often get up early for pre-sunrise photography so I can just turn on the stove while I'm getting dressed/warming the camper then fill up my travel mug or bullet thermos and head out the door.

I pre-grind my locally roasted organic coffee just before a trip so that helps the jump start also....
