Best Coffee Option on the Road!

So let’s face it, life without that morning Cup of Joe just doesn’t cut it for those of us that need that coffee jolt to jump start our day.  I was determined to find the best way to brew while on the road. 

With that in mind I did what we all do and started with google.  After some reading and researching I decided to try two different methods; a stainless steel french press and the AeroPress.  

 

First let’s talk about the French Press.  Having used a glass one at home I wanted one that was more resilient and would hold the heat better.  So after looking at the reviews I chose the Coffee Gator French Press.   This item boasted that it would keep coffee (or tea) hot for 60 minutes longer than a glass carafe.  While I didn’t time how the long the heat lasted it was longer than a glass carafe but less than 60 minutes.  Regardless, if you are looking to make coffee for a group then this a great option.  You never have to worry about it breaking or cracking.  Click the link below to explore more about the french press.

 

That being said I have to say that hands-down I preferred the flavor and ease of the AeroPress.  The idea for the AeroPress was developed to provide a light, compact, and easy way to create a great cup of coffee while backpacking.  Adapting it to camping, especially with a tear-drop camper, was just a natural progression.  For the best results I recommend checking out a couple of videos on how to use it, but don’t be intimidated! Yes its not the usual way to make a cup of coffee but I guarantee it will be worth it!

So, there you have it! I have started using the AeroPress exclusively both camping and at home.  Until next time enjoy your next adventure and keep following your arrow!
