11th of December Coffee coffee coffee…

Today’s topic is probably one of the most important when it comes to adventure…Some are satisfied with instant coffee, while others bring there espresso brewer. Some are really into it with boiled coffee and makes it into art…So lets dive into the art. Step one will be to start the fire. Fill the coffee pot with nice and clean water. Preferable from a near stream. Grind the coffee beans roughly. Put the coffee into the cold water. Put the pot in the fire and wait until it starts to bubble. Then lift the pot and let it just stand for 4-5 minutes, until the beans and the swamp sinks to the bottom. Now you can pour it into your cup slowly. Coffee should preferable be drunk black. But you can add milk or cream powder…Another suggestion is to put a glowing stick from the fire into the coffee for a short moment. This will get the coffee the real adventure taste(a Norwegian trick that I have learned)

If you enjoy the coffee you brew at home, it is easy to bring the taste out in the wilderness with you. So how to do the filtered coffee in the outdoors? You can bring the filter holder you got at home, or you can use a special one for outdoor. This one is an example form GSI. Boil the water, place the filter holder with the filter over a cup or thermos. Dose the right amount of coffee pour little water to wet up the filter, and then after a couple of seconds pour the water over the coffee.

If this not will be enough, then try the press coffee. Here there are a lot of different solution, but Primus for example have a good one. Start with boiling water. Add the coffee into the water, and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Mount the press and push the swamp slow to the bottom. Pour up the coffee and enjoy…easy to use, light weight and the coffee smell over the mountains that is something…

I prefer the percolator when I got time and space…
