Coffee Maker...

Colleen gave up coffee years ago (once she got me into the habit). I use the MyJo Kuerig (add heated water, the pod and press). I am not that particular with coffee (I like it fresh) but this gadget works great for my needs.

We ARE coffee drinkers and I find the starbucks viablend packages great! We like to use them for dry camping. Nothing to clean, no extra weight or space of a machine.

Sometimes less really is more 😊

Have gotten lazy after turning 70. Like coffee but not too much effort or mess. Found this that works for us: https://www.amazon.com/CHULUX-Single..._dp&th=1&psc=1

I thought that was what trash containers were for. You've been disposing of your coffee grounds on the road?
Kidding!

We use a pour-over and fill a thermos on driving days.

And, to get rid of the grounds, you simply invert the filter holder. Grounds and filter holder drop into the trash ( or compost ).

Moka pot will do the coffee part.

The misus and I use the Bialetti 6 cup moka pot perfect for 2 lattes. The foam part of a cappuccino is solved by a $5 battery operated milk frother. Or we just boil extra water and make Americanos.

I have been using the same coffee pot that I have been using since 1970s, it is aluminum it is 8 cup percolator whether it's on an open fire, a camp stove it works. Besides sterilizing the water by boiling the strength of the coffee depends on how long I let it perk. It still works and I'm still keep using it.

We love percolator coffee. Only thing we drink at home. One downside is regulating the temp on a non-electric. Too hot turns the coffee acidic.

I like to make coffee at home on my own.

Yes, a good pot can be made with a percolator, and like you mentioned the biggest problem is perking too hot, and also too long. 3 minutes usually works great, any more and you also chance the coffee taste diminishing. Percolator coffee is good.

Thanks for that tip

fyi, that double strength split mug works for hand pour drip too. I use a #4 melitta "one-cup" filter on my large mug, but put enough coffee in it for 2 cups, do a very slow hand pour til that first mug is full, then split it and top both off with hot water, excellent.

a #4 filter can make as much as 8 "cups" (really, 4 mugs), as thats what our 8 cup home electric dripper uses. key is, dribble just enough water in to wet the grounds, then wait a minute before dribbling more in, don't just fill the filter and let it fast drip, and you get much better extraction. our home electric dripper has a mode that does this automatically, called 'presoak' and it makes much richer tasting coffee from the same beans (usually Moka-Java or Kenya AA or Indian Malabar or Tanzania, always light to medium roast, and always fine ground just before brewing).
