Thread: Bush Coffee Solutions

I have become increasingly snobbish about coffee over the last few years and more rapidly the last few months. I enjoy the process around making good espresso and it’s what I look forward to when I wake up.

It got me thinking - how well can it be done in the bush?
Have seen solutions like the Aeropress. Also have though of hiding a manual espresso machine at my favourite hut, just to really take it to the next level.

What do others on here use? Obviously if you are an instant or sachet coffee kinda person, no judgement, but that’s not what I’m referring to here.
Would be cool to hear from Pro’s like @ilikepie on what they think..

Jeds Coffee bags.
Or the aeropress if room/weight allows.
Got to have the 'good' Coffee to make it worth the effort though

Yep have used the jeds bag too. How good is the aeropress? Does it make espresso or plunger style long black?

Aeropress works well once you get the ratio of coffee right. I use the same plunger coffee that we use at home.

Nice and easy!
Be cool if you can get espresso with decent crema out of it, but probably would have to grind fresh etc.

Are you referring to their “zero press”? Can see how it works

Yep really enjoy these. I'm a simple black coffee guy and these work a treat.

Actually, found vid. Looks cool!

Pre loaded drip filters, set up over the mug and pour hot water through, easy as

I use an Aeropress. small and more or less indestructible. i used to take a hand grinder but its way easier/faster/quieter for those still sleeping to use pre ground. as it uses some pressure you get a cleaner tasting cup and if you are using a single o African then you'll get a bit more of the inherent flavor from the processing method.

I use a 4 cup stove top with pre-ground beans in a ziplock (not ideal but works for a couple of days).
Stash the ground beans in the pot for transit etc.

Stove top takes up minimal space at camp and can get it going quick if you use warm water.
I put it on a knock off jet boil, with stove ring reducer and it works a treat.

Similar setup to below:

Got one of those secreted away at a bivvy camp up in the mountains.

Use a cheap Vietnamese coffee dripper that weighs a couple of 10s of grams when weight is an issue

I was just about to say this. If you're a coffee fiend, take one of these. Light and robust, easy to use, makes good coffee.
