Silky saws will turn you into a human chainsaw.
While I prefer French Press, my go to for camping is pour over for ease of cleanup. I have one of the Snow Peak Collapsible pour overs. I bring it when I stay in hotels.Chris requested a Bialetti moka pot for the trip to the border. Since then, I bought the largest version there is - dumping the grounds and refilling the thing with frozen unbending fingers gets old quick

to be clear, I requested that we use a pour-over but Peter is against pour-overs so the Italian one was the next best available.
I don't have a pour-over - except that propane-powered Coleman monstrosity that you didn't wantto be clear, I requested that we use a pour-over but Peter is against pour-overs so the Italian one was the next best available.

I must agree that the Bialetti moka pot should be on the best gear list as well. There’s something brewing about brewing with it that is just ever so much more so. I keep a kit in my truck so I can make a brew at any we’re out riding, climbing, or camping. With a Snow Peak Giga stove and 4 double-walled demitasse cups, the bumper cafe is open in 6 minutes.
The Moka Pot is the best camping coffee pot out there. @El Pinchi and his truck are in the background of the photo I posted and I believe after that trip he purchased one. I personally own 3 of them in different sizes plus @Chefdaddyscoti bought me one that makes 2 shots of espresso at a time.

I told you I have like four of them. LOL
I’ve spent a lot of nights in a tent over the last 20 years, but particularly in the last two years because I’ve been flying out and doing desert trips with friends instead of driving my own 110 across the country. I am in love with the MSR Hubba Hubba tent. My current Hubba Hubba pre-dates my marriage; I bought it back in Utah when I was a single guy. 16 years later and lots of nights on rough desert gravel, the tent is still nearly flawless. Most importantly, this has a single pole assembly and with a little practice, it takes only a couple of minutes to go from bag to ready to sleep.

The criteria for "best" coffee maker starts with how long I spend cleaning the damn thing. I hate cleaning coffee gadgets almost as much as I hate aftermarket LED lamps, tube bumpers, and {insert Jeep accessory}. Picture it; you're some douchebag living it up in the Swiss Alps sitting in your EE-approved Kermit enjoying a cuppa made on your overpriced farm truck's tailgate. All the stresses of life have faded into the past, except now you remember you've got to play house maid scraping grounds out of some filthy fucking filter and waste precious fresh water rinsing it off. No thanks. For simplicity, the Aeropress (1-2 people) or a large Bodum pour-over carafe (2+ people) win. If ultimate simplicity is required then Via Instant and Alpine Start win. Don't get me wrong, I love Moka pots and French presses, but only when someone else can be enslaved to operate them.
This is what I use for camping. Super easy to use and clean. You don't get gritty coffee like with other presses, or even espresso machines. You can easily decide how strong you want the brew to be.

You are correct sir! I now have 3 different sizes too and a red one I picked up in Rome last Christmas! Makes the best tasting coffee for sure!The Moka Pot is the best camping coffee pot out there. @El Pinchi and his truck are in the background of the photo I posted and I believe after that trip he purchased one.

This, I need. Any suggestions on where to buy?
How has Jetboil not been mentioned yet
We use ours for boiling soups for a quick trail lunch since we normally would have it out for coffee anyway. Also use the burner on it to fry eggs in my super mini cast iron pans when I’m using the Snow Peak Baja Burner for something else. I like just having a single burner but occasionally need more and that’s where the jetboil comes in for me
Mini Express
I love my Jetboil. The Jetboil + a pour-over is the quickest, easiest way to make a great cup of coffee on the trail with little clean-up required. I also use it for oatmeal in the morning. It uses almost no fuel to boil water and gets it done in about a minute.

I prefer the MSR setup to jetboil because it seems to have more stability. I also never head out without a Benchmade knife (or usually several of them) and a StreamLight flashlight. I hardwire a charger for the flashlight into every vehicle I have. Best flashlight I have ever come across.
