Quick Camp Coffee

[azslim]

Guys, I like my coffee but some mornings there isn't time to drink a couple cups, plus if you are sitting a blind with a quart of coffee in you pretty soon you spend more time peeing than watching, and invariably you have to pee at the wrong time. A quick cup of thick brew is more than sufficient to start the day.

 

I picked up these things this season, makes for really strong coffee fast - 3 sips and you may crap your pants. The 10 oz job from GSI Oudoors makes 1 cup ready to drink between 4 & 5 minutes after you turn the heat on. I use 1 heaping spoon of fresh grind or 2 good, not heaping, spoons of ready grind espresso for 1 cup, there is room to make it thicker if you want, I will if I have to share. A pinch of salt cuts down on the acidity if I remember to add it.

 

The other one makes a good cup and a half or so in about 7 to 8 minutes. I use 2 normal scoops of fresh grind or 2 heaping of ready grind. Same salt deal..... If you have to share with a couple people then load up the grounds for normal espresso, I figure it may give 3 people a morning blast.

 

I have a GAZ burner I use but any propane burner will work, house or field your choice.
