**Bold Flavor, Instant Gratification: Javy Coffee's Signature Blend** Cowboy Coffee One of the most classic ways to make camping coffee, and really make coffee at all, is called cowboy coffee. This is one of the easiest ways to make coffee and it works. What you'll need All you'll need for this easy recipe is a kettle or coffee pot that can go over a flame, coarse coffee grounds, and water. The main perk of this recipe is that it requires pretty minimal equipment, so you can have coffee without having to lug a bunch of gear up to the campground. How To Make Cowboy Coffee To make your cowboy coffee, you must first assemble your ingredients. Add your coffee to your kettle along with cold water. Put in about two tablespoons of coffee and eight to 10 ounces of water per serving. Then, place the kettle on the fire. You'll have to wait for the kettle to heat up, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't take too long. As soon as the water starts to boil, remove the kettle from the heat. Add a splash or two of cold water into the coffee to stop the brewing. Stir it and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes. The coffee grounds will settle at the bottom and stop the brewing. Bonus: it will help keep you from slurping down any of those grounds (gross). Once the grounds have settled, pour out your coffee and enjoy. Pros and Cons of Cowboy Coffee The pros to this method are that it's pretty easy to do and doesn't require that much equipment. However, it does require a pretty big kettle, which can take up a lot of space in your pack. This method does not do a great job at filtering out the coffee grounds. You may find a few in your cup. It's easy to overbrew the coffee and end up with a bitter cup. This may not be the most ideal way to begin your day. Moka Pot The Moka pot is another coffee method. A Moka pot is a special type of coffee brewer that makes a sort of coffee concentrate that's somewhere between the strength of black coffee and espresso. Supplies This method requires ground coffee, water, and a Moka Pot. How To Make Moka Pot Coffee Unscrew the top part of the pot. Fill the bottom of the pot with water, just below the safety device. Remove the grounds basket. Fill up the basket with your coffee grounds, but try not to press them down. Reassemble the Moka pot, and place it on the fire. As soon as you put boiling water into the bottom section, the pressure from the rising water will force the water through the coffee grounds and out the spout. You now have coffee. You can dilute it a bit with hot water if you'd like, and you're ready to drink up. The Pros and Cons Of Moka Pot Coffee This method makes really good coffee if you know what you're doing. But it's definitely a trial-and-error kind of process. It's a pretty involved method of coffee making. You do have to carry around that stainless steel pot and then clean all the parts, which can be a hassle when you're camping. The Moka pot can only make one or two cups of coffee at a given time. If you're brewing for a large group, it's gonna take a while. Pour-Over You've probably seen a pour-over on the menu at your local specialty coffee shop. Pour-over coffee is a delicious way of brewing coffee, used by both coffee experts and coffee enthusiasts. What You'll Need To make a pour-over, you'll need a coffee mug, a pour-over funnel, a coffee filter (whether a paper filter or metal filter), coffee grounds, and boiling water. How To Make Pour-Over Coffee Pour-overs are pretty similar to the process of a drip coffee maker, but instead of the coffee percolator pouring the water, you do it. Pour-over funnel: Place the funnel on top of your coffee cup. Put your filter in the funnel and set your grounds inside. Pour the water in small bursts over the grounds and let the dripper do its work. You'll have a beautiful cup of hot coffee in a couple of minutes. Use about two tablespoons per serving of the coffee grounds, and 10 ounces water. Pros and Cons of Pour-Over Coffee This is an incredibly delicious way to prepare coffee. However, the process is quite involved. It also requires a good bit of equipment. And again, this method can only make one or two cups of coffee at a time, so it's not great for large groups of campers. French Press The classic French press. It's one of the best ways to make coffee and is also a lot of fun. What you'll need To make a French press coffee on your backpacking or camping trip, all you need is a French press brewer, coffee grounds, and hot water. How to make French Press Coffee Start by getting your water boiling on the camp stove. While you're waiting for that to heat up, whip out your coffee grinder and grind up your beans or get your pre-ground beans out. You'll want to coarse grind your beans. Pour out your wonderful cup of coffee, and enjoy the taste. Pros and Cons of French Press Coffee While a French press makes a rich cup of coffee with amazing body and flavor, there are some downsides. Most French presses only make two or three servings, and those brewers are definitely too big to fit in your pack for a backpacking trip. The small French presses only make a single serving. Aeropress The Aeropress is one of the newest brewing methods out there. It's unique and innovative. It's a favorite among some coffee drinkers. Think of it as an upside-down French press. Fun! What you'll need You'll need a special Aeropress brewer as well as coffee grounds, hot tap water and an Aeropress mug to make Aeropress. How to make Aeropress Coffee Start by putting your water on the heat source and bringing it to a boil. While that's going, get your grinds and filter ready. Screw the circular screen onto the bottom of your brewer. Insert the filter. Now place your grounds into the brewer, leave the plunger off, and place the brewer directly onto your mug. Once your water boils, pour it into your Aeropress and fill it up. Let the mixture sit for about two minutes, then place your plunger in and push down. The coffee will come out the bottom like magic. Pros and Cons of Aeropress Coffee This is an excellent method for brewing coffee. It's flexible in that it can make a regular cup, or it can make an espresso-like, strong coffee that can be diluted with water or milk. This allows for you to make up to four servings at one time. But the downsides are that it requires a lot of equipment and a lot of practice. The brewing process is a little strange and not intuitive for beginners. It may take you a few attempts to perfect the brew. It's also not the best choice for campers who want to limit their gear. Instant Coffee Instant coffee is a staple of camping trips. It is one of the simplest methods. You don't have to be a barista to make a good cup of coffee. What you'll need All you need for this method is instant coffee bags, hot water, and a mug. How To Make Instant Coffee Instant coffee is easy to make and, well...instant. Start boiling some water on the stovetop. Then, simply pour some hot water into a mug, put your instant coffee into your cup of water, and give it a stir. Voila! Voila! Pros and Cons of Instant Coffee The pros to instant coffee are that it's super easy to brew. If you are backpacking, instant coffee is easy to pack in your pack. The cons of this is that it can sometimes taste strange. Plus, brewed coffee has to go through a crazy dehydration process. In that dehydration process, a lot of the compounds that make up the taste and smell of coffee get lost, and it even reduces the caffeine levels in the coffee, which can be pretty frustrating when you want that morning boost. Javy Coffee Concentrate Now, let's talk about our favorite way to make the best camp coffee: coffee concentrate. This coffee concentrate combines convenience and taste into one. What you'll need All you need to make Javy coffee is a bottle of Javy Coffee Concentrate, water, and a mug. How To Make Javy Coffee Concentrate Prepare your water first.
