Campfire coffee, cowboy coffee, call it what you will. There is something iconic about a gritty, scalding cup of coffee when waking up in nature. Whether brewing for a bunch, or going ultralight with a couple of friends, here’s a breakdown of the brew methods you can count on in the backcountry: Cowboy Coffee | Ideal for large groups when you have room to spare. 1.5 Cups of Coffee to 2 Gallons Water. French Press | When room is no problem and you’re serving 5 or so people, get a large, plastic French Press. 1 Gram Coffee to 12 Mils Water for a bold cup. Moka Pot | Show off with espresso-like coffee and dress it up with French-Press-frothed milk for a poor man’s campfire cappuccino. Aeropress | Dial in great coffee for 1-2 people, following recipes from Aeroprecipe.com. Steeped Coffee | Take all the fuss and equipment out of the picture with Steeped Coffee bags and enjoy compostable, single-serve coffee without sacrificing for weight.
