Bo-Camp Coffee press
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just bought this from Stan at the Overland Event on the weekend.
£7.50, 37g.

Bo-Camp Coffee press – The Overlander

Comes out a bit weak compared to a Bialetti percolator but no worse than any other press I imagine. Reminds me of old cafetiere coffee.
Maybe buying #5 strength coffee will work.

A bit of a faff to rinse if water is scarce, but light and compact.

Good morning!

Just found this thread and would like to recommend my little Bodum "columbia" french press coffee maker. Makes one big pot of absolutely great coffee.

Made from tough chromed steel, it is double wall insulated, easily cleaned with a sip of boiled water and snugs into my 1ltr stainless steel pot. So this "set" packed isn´t bigger than the 500gr Illy pack or the campingaz or MSR stove I usually use.

you know ..... when and if I have space I'll take a plunger style (french press) but when space is tight all I do is take a table spoon of ground coffee and put it in my cup, add boiling water, allow it to steep for a minute or two. Give it a really good stir and let it settle for about 30 - 40 seconds and drink. I just make sure I leave half an inch ( 10-15 cm) in the cup so I don't get a mouth full of 'mud'.

It really is the easiest and I think the best way when all you want is that morning hit to get your brain working.

I have been using a Snow Peak titanium for years.

Good:
Light & strong
Great for more than one
A standard size bag of coffee can be packed inside it when half used.
No filters to bring comes apart easily for cleaning

Bad:
Bulky for one can't really use it as a cup too
Even though it has a decent looking filter using cafeteire coffee too much sludge at the bottom of a cup.

EDIT: On the website they've got the finest filter at the bottom mine is above the metal gauze....Plus they use it on a stove direct I was always too scared to, what a numpty I am.
