Are You Brewing The Best Cup of Joe?

There are a few things to consider when you are brewing quality coffee, so make sure that you are not making any detrimental mistakes that will affect your brew.

• Make sure that you are using cold filtered water because that will give you the freshest coffee taste possible when you brew.
• Do not freeze or refrigerate your coffee beans when you store them, but keep them in an airtight container in a cool place.
• Do not purchased pre-ground coffee, but make sure that you freshly grind your coffee beans before you brew them because that will give you the freshest flavor possible.
• Make sure that you are using a quality coffee maker, or more preferably, a French Press, because that will give you the most control over your brewing.
• If you are using paper filters, then use brown filters because they are more porous, so more essential oils will get through into your brew.

Coffee Camping Help

If you are an avid outdoorsman or woman, then you probably have discovered by now that you still need your coffee. Am I right? One way to go about this is to take advantage of some of the coffee technologies available to you, even though that may seem sacrilegious in the great outdoors.


A fantastic choice is the Bodum Travel Press Tumbler. This is perfect because you can French Press brew your own coffee within one mug, so all you need is some hot water to help you perk up in the morning.

Another interesting option is the MugMate, which works similar to a drop-down coffee filter that you will place directly into your cup of hot water. This again filters out the coffee grounds so that you can remove them when the coffee is done steeping.

Finally, check out the cup.pour.ri for a truly rustic option. This is a spoon with a coffee filter attached to it. You can fill it up with coffee grounds, and then stir it within your hot water to create a delicious cup of Joe.

Even when you are camping, you don't have to be without your coffee!
