I hate coffee, i love tea. I am a tea addict. The smell of tea and the warmness in the cool morning is just the taste.

I am a coffee addict. You can find the stainless steel percolator in most stores. This is the most common camping method for making coffee. However, if you can get your girlfriend to go along with it the method below is the simplest requiring no equipment other than a cup.

I have tried the percolator over the fire, but always seem to somehow get lots of coffee grinds in it. The girlfriend will not drink it. I must be doing something wrong. But I do like the taste.

I guess we use the easy way. We just bring instant coffee and boil some water. We usually do not drink this type of coffee, but it serves a purpose in this situation.

This may be a dumb question but what is a coffee press? I have never heard of this before. How does it work and where do you get them?

A coffee press is also known as a French press or a coffee plunger. Although there are different specific designs, the main concept includes a plunger which comes through the lid down through the container. You brew the water and the beans together. After a few minutes you will push the plunger down to release the flavor of the beans and pour your coffee out. It is recommended that you use coarse beans instead of the regular grind beans. This type of coffee will give you a bold flavor and possibly a few coffee grinds in your coffee.

You can find coffee presses at your local kitchen supply store and possibly your local camping stores. They are also located in several online stores. Just google coffee press and you will be given several options.

My husband and I take along an old percolator we've had for years. You actually can cut coffee filters to fit in the basket and that takes care of the grounds. You also have to figure out how long to let it perk. That depends on personal taste. I also add a pinch of salt to the grounds to soften the water. Makes great coffee, I can't move without my coffee!
