Coffee pot

[jeepmedic46]

Looking for a coffee pot that can be used over a open fire.

Something like this or any with a bail so you can hang it or set it on a grill.

Thank you, Do you know if any one makes a smaller version that fits in a backpack?:coffeedrink:

As a coffee junkie, I'd have to recommend looking for a french press. It's just as easy to brew and clean, and tastes much better.

Here's one, it looks a little chintzy (and expensive!) but you get the idea.

My wife loves her coffee (not me, hot choc all the way) and we had the REI lexan french press and it was pretty good.
Now I have a stainless steel press and it is nice since I have heat the water directlly in it and reheat or keep the coffee warm in it without worries about the lexan.

But no matter what I agree with a press (use a hankie to filter the few grounds that do escape) or one of those funky 2 part euro coffee things. They actually work...

My GF put together a little kit for camp coffee.

But for backpacking, you may be better suited with this and a small pot/bowl to boil your water.

Thats very nice and a good idea. Thank you.:coffeedrink:

Ditto. Works great for heating any liquid.

Hank, please tell me that the pic you posted is old and you've replaced those Millstone coffee bags with something else.

Cabela's (and others) carry the classic coffee pot in enamel ware

But most weight consious backpackers don't want a single-use pot. They'd rather adapt one of their regular pots to coffee use.

GSI outdoors is a good source of campware

There are lightweight backpacking pots, but they are designed for use on camp stoves, not open fires.

I'm in the coffee business. I'm a real snob when it comes to coffee. But I also like to travel as light and simple as possible.

I like a French press at home, where it's easy to clean up. But out in the backcountry and on the road I use a pour through "coffee maker." It's a plastic cone shaped filter holder that sits ontop of your cup, thermos or pot.

I like these because they're small, light and easy to clean up.

Haha.

Actually, I'm on a quest to find a new coffee (not that Millstone was my fail-safe ). I've been digging the Lavazza, but it's time for something new.
