Best Camping Coffee Maker Reviews
Reviews of some of the very best camping coffee makers.- Snow Peak Coffee Drip - One of the more common ways to make coffee is with a drip filter, and Snow Peak offers a great way to get your drip coffee while camping. This drip filter will sit right on a wide variety of different sizes of cups or mugs, and will drip away while you break down camp or make breakfast. And when you're done with it it's easy to clean, being stainless steel, and breaks down and folds flat, for easy storage. The whole thing weighs 4.9 ounces, or 138 grams.
- Snow Peak Titanium Cafe Press - If you prefer your coffee from a french press then Snow Peak has you covered there too. This is a combination of press and pot. The good thing about this is that the pot can be used to cook in too, though it's a little tall and narrow for some foods. But still, a viable cooking option that could allow you to take just one pot for two different purposes. It's titanium, and the whole thing weighs 6.3 ounces, or 178 grams.
- MSR MugMate Coffee and Tea Filter - The MugMate was the 2009 Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice Gold award winner, mostly because it's just a lightweight and easy to use coffee filter. It's the same design as a tea immersion filter, but with a finer filter to keep coffee grounds out. It allows you to make your coffee as weak or strong as you like, is easy to clean and easy to reuse. Best of all, it weighs just 1 ounce, which is 28 grams, and much lighter than the other two options above.
