I think the first time I drank coffee was camping. My friends and I would buy those little tins of instant, French Vanilla flavoured, I think they were called International Instant coffee. I still like French Vanilla Coffees, don’t judge me! These were easy to make when tent camping, boil water over campfire or cook stove, add instant coffee, and stir. Away you go!!! This was before I was old enough to drink coffee and Bailey’s. The best way to make coffee when you’re camping is totally different that the best way to make coffee in an RV. When you have been full time as long as I have I don’t think of my big RV as camping, I think of it as home. We are going to cover how to make coffee while camping and also the best machines to make coffee when you have full hook up/Generator/power.

16 Ways To Make Coffee in an RV or Anywhere

Caffeine and Campfires: Unleash Your Inner Barista with these Camping Coffee Brewing Methods

There are several ways to make coffee while camping, but the specific method you choose will depend on your preferences and the equipment you have available. Here are a few options:

1. French Press: A French press is a popular method of making coffee while camping because it’s easy and doesn’t require any electricity. Simply heat water over a camp stove or fire, add coffee grounds to the French press, pour in the hot water, and let it steep for a few minutes. Then, press down the plunger and pour your coffee into your mug.
2. Pour Over: Another simple method is the pour-over method. This requires a pour-over coffee maker, a paper filter, coffee grounds, and hot water. Heat water on a camp stove or over a fire, place the paper filter in the pour-over coffee maker, add coffee grounds to the filter, and pour hot water over the grounds in a circular motion.
3. Percolator: A percolator is a classic camping coffee maker that works by boiling water and cycling it through the coffee grounds until it reaches the desired strength. Simply fill the percolator with water, add coffee grounds to the basket, and heat it on a camp stove or fire until the coffee is brewed.
4. Portable coffee maker: There are several portable coffee makers designed specifically for camping that use various methods to brew coffee, such as a hand pump, pressure, or drip system. These can range in size and style, from compact and lightweight options to larger models that can make multiple cups of coffee.
5. Instant Coffee: If you’re looking for a quick and easy option, instant coffee is a simple way to make coffee while camping. Simply add hot water to the instant coffee granules, and you’ll have a cup of coffee in no time.

Remember to always clean your equipment after use and dispose of coffee grounds and filters responsibly. Happy camping and caffeinating!

Cowboy Coffee

How to make coffee while camping off-grid with nothing but water and coffee grounds. Here’s the step by step instructions:

1. Boil water over a campfire or camp stove.
2. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a minute.
3. Add coarsely ground coffee to the pot (2 tablespoons per 8 ounces of water).
4. Stir the coffee and let it steep for a few minutes.
5. Skim off any floating grounds on the surface.
6. Pour the coffee slowly into cups, being careful not to disturb the grounds that have settled at the bottom of the pot.

It’s super simple and will work when nothing else is available.

French Press

If you like a french press coffee but aren’t sure how to make coffee while camping because these are usually glass I have the very large steel version because I’m very much in love with coffee and there is never enough. I like that it’s durable and holds the heat longer than its glass carafe cousin. I also use this to make cold brew when the weather is decent. I like cold brew coffee because I can always have some in the fridge. No need to boil, measure wait. I just make it, pour it into a container or my cup and it’s there for me when I need it!

French press coffee is also known as a press pot or plunger pot it is a simple and popular method for making coffee. It consists of a cylindrical glass or stainless steel carafe with a plunger and a metal or nylon mesh filter. Here are the steps to make coffee with a French press:

1. Boil water and let it cool for a minute or two.
2. While the water is heating, add coarsely ground coffee to the French press. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of coffee per 4 ounces of water.
3. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds in the French press, making sure to saturate all of the grounds.
4. Stir the coffee and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preferences.
5. Press down the plunger slowly and evenly, until it reaches the bottom of the carafe.
6. Pour the coffee into your mug, and enjoy!
7. For Cold Brew use room temperature or cold water for Cold brew allow to sit in fridge overnight or longer. Use coarse-ground coffee

French press coffee is known for its bold and rich flavour, due to the extended steeping time and the fact that the metal or nylon mesh filter allows the coffee oils and flavours to pass through to the final brew. However, French press coffee can have some sediment or coffee fines at the bottom of the cup, which some people prefer to strain out using an additional filter or paper coffee filter. Additionally, French presses come in a variety of sizes and styles, so it’s important to choose one that suits your needs and brewing preferences.

Pour Over

In my camper van space is very limited. I use the pour-over method because all you need is ground coffee, a cup, and the cone. I use filters with mine just for super easy clean up particularly in winter when my Van is winterized and I have no running water. Check out my tips and tricks for spending the winter in your RV. How to make coffee while camping? For sure super simple and not much to pack if you bring a pour-over collapsible version like the one below here in orange.

Pour over coffee is a manual coffee brewing method that involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter cone, which is usually placed over a coffee cup or carafe. The process of pouring hot water over the grounds extracts the coffee’s flavor and aroma, resulting in a clean, flavorful cup of coffee. Here are the steps to make pour over coffee:

1. Boil water and let it cool for a minute or two.
2. While the water is heating, place a coffee filter in the pour-over cone and rinse it with hot water. This helps remove any papery taste from the filter and warms up the cone.
3. Add coarsely ground coffee to the filter. The amount of coffee and water used depends on your desired strength and the size of the pour-over cone, but a good starting point is to use 1-2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
4. Pour a small amount of hot water over the coffee grounds, just enough to wet them and let them “bloom” for about 30 seconds. This allows the coffee to release some of its gases and prepares the grounds for brewing.
5. Slowly pour the rest of the hot water over the coffee, in a circular motion, making sure to saturate all of the grounds. The total brewing time should be about 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove the pour-over cone and dispose of the used coffee filter and grounds.
7. Enjoy your freshly brewed pour-over coffee!

Pour over coffee is known for its clean and bright flavor, due to the controlled brewing process and the use of a paper filter, which removes any sediment or oils from the final brew. Pour over coffee is also highly customizable, allowing you to adjust the coffee-to-water ratio and the brewing time to your personal taste preferences. There are several pour over coffee makers available on the market, from simple plastic cones to more sophisticated glass or ceramic models.

Percolator

Coffee percolators have been around since before I was born! Timeless classic way to make coffee while camping. The only reason I didn’t put it first is that it’s not a method that I currently use myself and not everyone loves the taste. Gosh, what a narcissist!

A coffee percolator is a type of coffee maker that uses gravity and boiling water to brew coffee. The percolator has a pot with a vertical tube that runs from the bottom to the top of the pot, and a perforated chamber at the top where the coffee grounds are placed. Here are the steps to make coffee with a percolator:

1. Fill the percolator with water up to the fill line.
2. Place the coffee grounds in the perforated chamber or basket at the top of the percolator. The amount of coffee grounds you use depends on the size of the percolator and your desired strength, but a good rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds per 6 ounces of water.
3. Place the percolator on a stove or campfire and bring the water to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, turn down the heat to a low simmer to prevent the coffee from boiling over.
4. As the water boils, it will be forced up the vertical tube and into the coffee chamber, where it will mix with the coffee grounds and begin to brew.
5. Allow the coffee to percolate for 5-10 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
6. Remove the percolator from the heat and allow it to cool for a minute or two.
7. Pour the coffee into your mug, and enjoy!

Percolators are known for producing a strong and robust cup of coffee, but they can also result in a slightly bitter or over-extracted brew. Additionally, the extended brewing time and the high water temperature can result in a loss of some of the more delicate flavors and aromas in the coffee. Nevertheless, percolators are a popular choice for campers and outdoors enthusiasts due to their simplicity and durability. There are both electric and stovetop percolators available on the market, with a range of sizes and styles to choose from. Traditionally percolator coffee makers have been seen as the best rv coffee makers.

Aeropress

The Aeropress is a manual coffee brewing device that uses air pressure to extract the coffee’s flavor and aroma. The Aeropress consists of a plastic or metal cylindrical chamber, a plunger, and a filter cap. Here are the steps to make coffee with an Aeropress:

1. Boil water and let it cool for a minute or two.
2. While the water is heating, place a paper filter into the filter cap and rinse it with hot water.
3. Assemble the Aeropress by placing the filter cap onto the chamber and twisting it into place.
4. Add coarsely ground coffee to the chamber. The amount of coffee and water used depends on your desired strength and the size of the Aeropress, but a good starting point is to use 1-2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
5. Pour a small amount of hot water over the coffee grounds, just enough to wet them and let them “bloom” for about 30 seconds. This allows the coffee to release some of its gases and prepares the grounds for brewing.
6. Fill the chamber with hot water to the desired level, and stir the coffee gently with a spoon.
7. Place the plunger onto the chamber and press down slowly and steadily, applying pressure to the coffee.
8. Once you have pressed all the way down, remove the filter cap and dispose of the used coffee grounds and paper filter.
9. Rinse the Aeropress with water and dry it.
10. Enjoy your freshly brewed Aeropress coffee!

Aeropress coffee is known for its clean and smooth flavor, due to the controlled brewing process and the use of a paper filter, which removes any sediment or oils from the final brew. The Aeropress is also highly customizable, allowing you to adjust the coffee-to-water ratio, the brewing time, and the level of pressure applied to the coffee to your personal taste preferences. The Aeropress is a popular choice for home brewers and travelers due to its lightweight, portable design and ease of use.

I had an Aeropress for a hot minute, I’m not sure why I got rid of it. It could have been the fact that I like a 24oz coffee to start my day. I may give this method another shot… of espresso!

Portable Espresso: Staresso, Minipresso, Nanopresso

These little devices are super intriguing. I had never heard of them until I started researching for this article. They are portable and use no power. There are a few different types. One type that only does fine ground coffee, one that will do grounds or ‘coffee pods’, and one that only does a certain type of ‘coffee pod’. I like the idea of no pods as we should all be aware of the fact they aren’t very environmentally friendly. I do however like that Nespresso will drop off pods and take away your old pods so that you know they are being recycled properly.

1. Boil Watr
2. Fine ground coffee
3. Add coffe grounds to chamber
4. Add water to water chamber
5. Pump or Squeeze depending on device
6. TaDah – espresso on the go go

Keurig

Keurigs come in all shapes, sizes, and colours. If you are looking for the easiest way to make a single cup of coffee Keurig has that pretty well dialled in.

Keurig coffee makers use a unique system of coffee pods called K-Cups. Each K-Cup contains a pre-measured amount of coffee grounds and is sealed to maintain freshness. To brew a cup of coffee with a Keurig, you simply insert a K-Cup into the machine, add water to the reservoir, and press a button to start the brewing process. The machine pierces the K-Cup and forces hot water through the grounds to create a single cup of coffee.

Keurig coffee makers are available in a range of sizes and styles, from compact models that are perfect for small kitchens to large commercial machines that can brew multiple cups of coffee at once. Some models also have features like built-in frothers for making lattes and cappuccinos, programmable brewing settings, and the ability to brew iced coffee and tea.

One of the advantages of Keurig coffee makers is their convenience. Because each cup of coffee is brewed individually, there is no need to measure out coffee grounds or deal with messy filters. Keurig machines are also fast, typically brewing a cup of coffee in under a minute.

However, some coffee enthusiasts argue that Keurig machines don’t produce coffee that is as flavorful or rich as traditional brewing methods like pour-over or French press. Additionally, the K-Cups used in Keurig machines are not always recyclable or biodegradable, which can be a concern for environmentally conscious consumers.

Overall, Keurig coffee makers are a popular choice for those who value convenience and speed when brewing their morning cup of coffee.

My parents have two keurig machines at their house. I drink a lot of this coffee when I visit them. In fact i have the vanilla hazelenut on autoship from amazon. It does take two pods to fill up my 24oz yetti cup. I’m greedy when it comes to coffee!

Things I like….

1. convenience
2. many models to choose from

Things I don’t like…

1. not the best cup of coffee I’ve had
2. not very envionmentally friendly

Best Grinders – Power and Manual

If you are truly looking for the best RV Coffee most Coffee experts will tell you that you should grind your own beans. Here’s a list of reasons why.

1. Freshness: When you grind your own coffee beans, you can ensure that the coffee is as fresh as possible. Ground coffee starts to lose its aroma and flavor within minutes of being ground, so the longer it sits on the shelf, the less flavorful it becomes.
2. Control over grind size: Different brewing methods require different grind sizes, and when you grind your own beans, you can control the size of the grounds to suit your particular brewing method. For example, French press coffee requires a coarser grind, while espresso requires a finer grind.
3. Better flavor: Grinding your own coffee beans allows you to unlock more of the coffee’s flavor and aroma. When you grind the beans yourself, you release more of the essential oils and flavors that are trapped inside the beans. This can result in a more complex and nuanced flavor profile.
4. Cost-effective: While purchasing pre-ground coffee can be convenient, buying whole beans and grinding them yourself can be more cost-effective in the long run. Whole beans can be purchased in larger quantities, which often results in a lower cost per pound.
5. Sustainability: Grinding your own coffee beans can be a more sustainable option, as it reduces the amount of waste produced. When you purchase pre-ground coffee, it often comes in non-recyclable packaging that ends up in the landfill. By purchasing whole beans and grinding them yourself, you can reduce the amount of packaging waste you generate.
