Coffee on your hunts?

[old_goat2]

Starbucks Via for me and I even bring along my personal Starbucks Barista to make it for me!

The most portable setup for me is an Aeropress with reusable metal filter from Able Brewing.  I also roast my own beans and like to grind right before I brew so I use a 1950's KYM hand grinder.  If I have to go ultralight I just pregrind the coffee.

If I am not camping, I simply make coffee at home and have a couple of cups before leaving the house. If I am at deer camp though, we have an electric drip style coffee maker.

[Huh]

Starbucks via if backpacking, minimal trash, nothing extra to carry besides the coffee and no dishes to do.

If in a wall tent usually a percolator, but the french press makes an appearance sometimes.

Starbucks Via here also!

Usually make it after sun's up and nothing's been moving for a while.  Unless it's cold out, then I make it before heading out and put it in the muff for nice warm hands and sipping while the sun rises.

Coffee for as long as a Nissan Thermos will hold it warm (24 hrs +/-).  If I have to pack it in I brew gunpowder tea.  Caffeine of a lesser god.

I've found the jetboil with coffee press pretty handy.

in elk camp it's cowboy coffee...water + grounds and boil for a few...perfect mud every time.

I grew up making "Cowboy" coffee for my father-a tablespoon for each cup and 1 for the pot.  I'm 61-I have never finished a cup of coffee-don't like the smell or the taste!!

I just take some instant, yuppy, sweetened, flavored stuff in powder form you mix into hot water. What can I say, I'm a lazy camp coffee guy(and I kinda like that flavored yuppy stuff). Now the important part of hunting camp breakfast is the bacon........I am a bacon snob......maple, double smoked, rind on, and have to slice it yourself.......I'm getting hungry!   :D

Those years I lived in MT and hunted with a few boys who outfitted, they would do what Durp said...then throw a raw egg in on top to settled the grounds. pour gently and "enjoy". don't eat the egg!

I love my coffee, and still do it old style while in camp, I simply boil the whole coffee beans in an old blue speckle ware coffee pot, with a strainer in the pour spout. No grainy mess , quick simple and easy and OOOOHHHHH so good!

It's not a hunt without coffee. When I'm out for more than a day I take a regular perculator coffee pot. When it's a day hunt one possibly two Stanley thermous's of coffee!

Starbucks via when weight is a concern.

[arrow flynn]

Instant for me folgers.

[halfseminole]

I got busted by my wife pouring instant in my Camelbak one morning.  She weighed the thing, proclaimed it greater than a cup of coffee and called my cardiologist.  He swore a blue streak over the phone at me.

Still do it, and I'm still here.  Since I'm fortunate enough to hunt my yard (as it's more than big enough and full of wildlife) I take what's in the pot, don't care if it's hot or cold-hot coffee just gives me away in the woods.  Though hot coffee in a Camelbak was really really nice (until it melted through.)

+5 for the Starbucks Via's.  I use quite a few through hunting season.  Backpacking trips where I'm closer to water and weight is less of an issue, I take a Jet-boil with the coffee press in it and only coffee that wasn't roasted in an air bed roaster and ran through the finest of burr grinders made by Gaggia (with wipes of course)

From what I can tell I got really lucky.

In 1971 or 1972 I was at my high school's football game the night before a major cross-country race (my sport). I was cold so I picked up a half-cup of black coffee at the concession stand.  It was the first I ever tasted and it was HORRIBLE!

I haven't even had a sip since.  I've watched hunting buddies over the years practically go crazy in the morning, especially in a strange house or camp looking for coffee.

French press. I can carry one pot to do all my cooking/boil water, and I pack the coffee in small ziplocks between the lid and mesh screen. I did use a stainless steel, but I decided to buy a "shatterproof" plastic one and it's a lot tougher than I imagined.
