I've been using a Stanley French Press lately. I've tried a cheap Walmart percolator and never could get it to work right. The French Press is fine when it's just me. It's a chore when making coffee for 5 or 6 folks since it only holds about 3 cups worth. What are y'all using?

I have a double burner stove so it's not on a jet boil or anything like that.

TIA

I use an old school percolator. Colletti Bozeman from Amazon. I use it when camping or when at the house. I don't mess with Keurugs or drip machines, just an old school percolator and a bean grinder.

Once it starts perking, let it go on a slow roll for 8 min or so and it's perfect.

Percolator. As you stated…French press too small.

Making the coffee at night and putting in a thermos is a big time saver if you leave camp before daylight.

Not gonna lie. We boil water and use the insta-packs.

It's actually not horrible at all.

Jet boil and pour over V60. Make it the same at home but with an electric kettle instead.

Not cowboy coffee with grounds in the brew. I don’t mind the taste. But I’ll be digging a crap hole immediately! Lol

I use a jetboil and those black rifle packs as well. I’ve also used the dark timber ascent and gravity packs if you aren’t a fan of instant.

Old time drip percolator on a Coleman stove, the way it was intended.
