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.
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?
Unless you live in a place where your town or city is the trailhead then it usually means loading up your bike and driving somewhere to ride. Even then, for those of you with access to world-class trails right outside your front door sooner or later they can become a little stale and you hunger and thirst for new trails elsewhere.
