brew method
Brewing coffee outdoors is pretty easy … or so it seems. On one hand it is straightforward and uncomplicated. On the other hand there is not only a process, but you need the right equipment. So often the focus is on the specific brew method and even what kind of coffee to use (and rightly so). What we want to share with you in this article is one part of the equation that doesn’t get enough attention … how you actually heat the water for your coffee.
As much as I love and look forward to brewing coffee early in the morning next to a campfire or even at a trailhead before I ride, most often when I am making coffee it is at home. Usually my first cup is brewed before the sun is up. With my eyes still blurry it would seem that the wisest thing to do would be to click a button and poof … coffee pours out of some contraption and into my cup. But for me, it’s a process. One that I love too. Not only that, but the process includes regularly experimenting with new ways to brew coffee.

Coffee is a lot of fun. It's more than "hot bean juice" too. We drink coffee because we love it ... the tasting notes, how it feels when we take a sip, and of course the other benefits like caffeine. But it's more like a lifestyle accessory. However, that doesn't mean it should be inaccessible without insider knowledge.
So what is one affordable essential needed for the next time you go camping or want to brew coffee at the trailhead?
