I usually skip coffee out on the trail; I eat a cold breakfast so I don't have to fire up the stove. If it's a really cold morning, I might have a cup of tea, but I usually do that only if I'm taking a rest day.

At home, though, I go all out, grinding my own beans fresh each morning and brewing them in a Bialetti Moka Express pot on top of my stove. I dilute the brew 50% with hot milk and enjoy!

I think that's why I don't miss coffee on the trail, because only fresh hot milk will do for my morning brew. I don't mind dried milk mixed with cold water for my cereal, but heated up it tastes horrible. YMMV, of course!

Directions for any French press I've ever used are to let the coffee brew several minutes before pushing down the filter.

If I really want to make coffee when camping, I'll do cowboy coffee!

Nice video; is that by chance around Lake Superior?
