If you’re making coffee for more than one, or if you need something to use with another camping coffee implement, like a French press, for instance, then you need to be looking at coffee pots for camping. Of course the big glass coffee pot that you use at home is not ideal for taking camping, for a number of reasons. What you need is a coffee pot that is more durable, and possibly even a coffee pot for camping that doubles as a pot for cooking, to save on weight and bulk.
Coffee Pots for Camping
What you want to pay attention to when reviewing coffee pots for camping.- Integrated – It helps if your coffee pot for camping is more than just a coffee pot. A coffee pot that doubles as a cooking pot, for instance, is a more useful piece of gear. It also helps if your coffee pot is integrated with whatever else you’re using to make your coffee, like a French press, for instance.
- Material – Another thing that you definitely want to pay attention to is the material that your camping coffee pot is made out of. Most pots will be made of metal of one sort or another, but even within the metal category, there are a wide variety of choices. Titanium is lightweight and strong, for instance, but also quite expensive compared to other metals like aluminum or stainless steel.
