Best Camping Coffee method?

[mudgudgeon]

I have yet to take it camping but put together this coffee kit with a Hario Switch, Snowpeak Home / Camp burner, electric grinder and a small kettle in a Hazard Fraught apache case. I have an Aeropress too and the Hario Switch is as easy clean up - you just need to throw away the whole cone filter with grounds in it.

That's quite the setup!

Have you used the SnowPeak burner outdoors? How did it do?

Looks like an interesting back up burner.
I have had a few different butane burners. They can be great, but suffer if they aren't shielded from a breeze.

Also not great if temps are near freezing. Cartridges get too cold for the liquid butane to undergo a phase change to gas.

It works pretty well but I haven't used it in particularly high winds. I like it and it perfect for this kit, for cooking I picked up a traditional coleman two burner with cast iron toppers.

Cold brew guy here!

My go to is cold brew concentrate. Dilute with hot or cold water/milk to taste. No need to brew while camping and cleanup is minimal.

Interesting.
Can you get it piping-hot though?

I would worry the concentrate would always cool down boiling water too much.

But I do like the ease of the idea.

It defiantly depends on the concentrate. With most store-bought stuff it has already been diluted and adding enough water to get it piping hot will make the coffee weak. My personal favorite is the stout truffle from Phoenix Roasters. 2 oz of concentrate mixed with 8 oz of boiling water is really good for me! The only downside with this route is price. You can always venture in to brewing your own if you have a specific coffee bean that you love!
