What is your way of making coffee?
GaryWTRight now it s stove top perc.
Looking for a french press as we don t drink much and would use the perc to heat water so DW can get tea as well.

GaryWTWe use a cone filter,and let the hot water drip through the ground coffee.
GaryWTDH likes to make coffee in the drip maker. I prefer green tea with passion flower & honey.[:)]
Peace be with you all.
GaryWTDW has to have her gourmet coffee (and grinds the beans fresh), but I am a real man and don t drink coffee.

GaryWTMr. Coffee for those times with electricity and an old-fashioned percolator for those times we don t. I keep the pre-ground coffee in the freezer between camping trips because we only use fresh-ground whole beans at home.
By the way, what happened to coffee drinkers? They seemed to have disappeared after my generation. Our kids still get their caffeine but from soft drinks instead of coffee.
GaryWTDeleted.
GaryWTFor ME Coffee=yuck, except with lots of milk and sugar to cut the taste. DH drinks it if the weather is cold. However, we have two coffee pots, one old stainless steel percolator style electric that has it hot in ready in a matter of minutes, and one stove top percolator style that takes forever on the outside stove.
I prefer my caffeine cold and carbonated thank you, or else in ice tea.
forestwalkerMellita, Then DW has hot water for her Tea also.
GaryWTOther- Coleman Camping Coffeemaker!
GaryWTWe have a gallon sized cowboy coffee pot for the big crowds, and we use that on the fire. We also have a Mr. Coffee, which gets used real often too. As long as it s real coffee, not instant, and you can smell it on those nice cool mornings when it s so great to sit with a cup and listen to the birds.

GaryWTDid you all see that new coffe pot by Coleman? It was featured in PUT magazine this month. Very cool! Check it out:

GaryWTWhen camping with electric, we use a Mr. Coffee on a timer so we wake up to the smell of freshly brewing coffee. When dry camping we have the stainless steel percolator that works quite wonderfully too, but we have to immediately pour the coffee into a really good thermos to keep it hot. I ve heard the same complaints from the new Coleman coffee pot... that the coffee doesn t stay hot because no electric warmer to keep it that way. A good thermos is invaluable in that situation! I do like my morning coffee HOT!
GaryWTMy DH thinks he is not camping unless he uses the percolator on the outside coleman stove. I agree with Wiininkwe- love the coffe smell on those nice cool mornings when it s so great to sit with a cup and listen to the birds.
AAAHHH[;)]
GaryWTYuck coffee.[: (]
tlhdocCoffee is good ! I think I will get into the habit of making good friends who can have coffee and clign to them so we can have coffee when they are having it :)
Or, Boil water on the stove and use instant coffee. Better than nothing [&:]
GaryWTCoffee, who needs it? If this question had referred to tea, however, I could have given an interesting answer.
GaryWTHi Gary,
Just returned from a trip to Rhode Island, which also included a visit to Boston, and I have to laugh when I see that you included Dunkin Donuts as one of your choices! [:D] There must be some sort of New England ordinance that requires a Dunkin Donuts on every corner! They were EVERYWHERE!!!
We have them out here is So Cal too, but nowhere near the density that you guys do! There must 3.75 Dunkin Donut shops per person back there! [;)]
Anyway, thanks for the chuckle!![:D]
GaryWTAt all most 42 yrs young, I tried coffee once didn t like it. So have never started drinking it. Don t know if that is good or bad, but that s the way it is[&:]
GaryWTFrench Press ORRRR if I ve got my tent camping friends (early risers) they make it - that s the best kind!
GaryWTHi griffsmom. Yes a Dunkin Donut on evey corner. You are not considered a city unless you have at least 12. Plus one in every gas station and food store. We just got our first Krispy Kreme, finally so hopefully we will see some changes.
GaryWTWe make our coffee with a Melitta coffee maker. Those coffee bags that you use like a tea bag used to be what we used, but it never tasted quite right. The Melitta you boil water (one tea kettle full is plenty to fill it) and you pour it into the coffee container part. It drips like your coffee maker at home, with no electricity. It is very good coffee, and the carafe keeps it hot for hours. I ve been really happy with it. Cost about $20. Check their website, Melitta.com. They were pretty quick on the shipping.
