The type where it’s hot water with old fireplace remnants stirred in. Just like grandpappy used to make. Mmm.

Thank You, but I prefer my coffee discussing. I’m talking generic brand, instant, black, bitter and scalding hot. Just wakes me up better.

Let’s discuss your coffee in more detail.

Yes, agreed. Why is this even in shitpost? I wonder if h0rni has ever tried a percolator. I don’t mind it while I’m camping, but when I’m home I prefer a Moka pot. I also want strong, bitter coffee. I can’t stand instant, but sometimes I will add it to my wife’s weak-ass brew. I can see through hers! I should never be able to see through my coffee.
A couple years ago, I got the French press kit for my Firemaple X1 to take camping. It’s super light and breaks down flat. The kit, not the X1 itself. But it’s so much more work to clean than a percolator! The grounds stick to the rough texture of the titanium walls, and I typically end up dribbling it over the edge and down the outside when I pour. That stains the neoprene sleeve and I have to then wash that. I’m thinking about going back to a percolator for camping, but that is so much extra room I’m already used to not needing to account for.
I suppose I could just bring my 2-cup Moka pot, that would be the happy medium. It’s smaller than a percolator, and easier to clean than the French press. The issue there is that if I’m not solo camping, I typically share the coffee. And nobody I go with likes the Moka pot.
Tell me about your coffee!

I have found the large 4-cup moka pot to be very efficient for camping coffee, particularly if you also have a kettle on the griddle with hot/near-boilng water for refills. Or in the campfire. I use an aluminum calphalon non-whistle teapot for that.
With a good single-burner (butane/propane or white gas) it becomes reasonable to crank out good coffee for 2-3 people at a time (1.5 to 2 cup) on a ~6 minute cycle.
Uhh maybe my use case is atypical, but still. Moka-pot is good for camping cuz it’s fast, easy-clean and can produce great results.
