I just grab packets of coffee from motels we occasionally stay at and put the sealed packet in a cup with real hot water and swirl it around. Toss the packet. I use a seasoned plastic cup that does not break.

coffee, the true coffee,how too below in easy steps.

1. water in pot,pan,can,anything metal.
2.coffee.any type any amount,(this is where experience comes in)
3. if at breakfast time egg shell can't hurt.
4. add a smooth rock to bottom (this keeps grounds 0n bottom when you pour)
5.bring to boil.cover let set to calm grounds.
6.pour slowly into cup.kick back and enjoy!.

we used this method on all of our bicycle trips,( less e.g. shells most of the time)

for you new kids this is called cowboy coffee, the true travel coffee.

drive slow and enjoy "its the journey"

I use the Hario Ceramic mill. Had it for a few years now and I've never had to clean it or anything. It always rides along in the camper and sits on my counter at home.

Looks like a blind taste test is called for.


This might be fun to do at a future rally. I have put together blind wine tastings so doing one for coffee would be a possibility.

Hey just remember that Consumer Reports blind taste test for beer said that Coors was the best.

Since space is such a commodity on the FWC Raven, I went with these two options:

French PressPosted Image

They both take little space and are unbreakable
