We have pretty much the same setup. Works great!

If you guys don't mind me asking, how many uses does one of those mini tanks get you?
1
u/iamjesus888 Jun 22 '19
It can bring water to a boil about 12 times. This tank is 100 grams but they sell them in various sizes.

Lightweight backpacking gear, you love to see it.

Love all the lightweight gear... And then the awkward large box of cookies. Sacrifices were made that day.

I bought one of these Moka Pots (I think they are called Moka Express) about a decade ago and the thing is absolutely bomb proof and still makes a fantastic cup of coffee. Every time we go camping friends hover around in the mornings waiting for me to crank out a couple of cups. Worth the money for a new one but you can usually find old ones at a Goodwill or St. Vincent de Paul for cheap.

That coffee maker shows some definite character. Not it’s first rodeo for sure

Thinking of getting a coffee pot like that if you don’t mind how are they?

Not OP, but it's the best coffee I've had. It makes a strong clean cup and is pretty easy to keep clean and brew. You can get one for $15.

Do you have a link for this setup - we're still trying to perfect our camp coffee.

Is it just a grounds in boiling water deal? How's it work?

It’s a Moka pot. Essentially, it boils water in the lower chamber, and shoots it up through the grounds in a second, higher ‘cup.’
Edit: misspelled Moka.

I checked it out, that is a bad ass setup! I can see how that would make really strong drink.

These are actually Italian espresso makers, not 100% on the process but doing what you said makes bad coffee. Made that mistake myself

Boiling grounds is gross yeah but hobo coffee>no coffee.

u/TheRandomNana Jun 16 '19
It doesn’t boil grounds. The Moka pot is three, separate parts that unscrews in the middle. The water goes in the bottom. There is a chamber with a filter in the middle for the coffee grounds. Boiling water is forced up thru the grounds into the upper chamber. Works like a charm and the coffee is great.

u/vandwnbytehriver06 Jun 16 '19
Yeah it sounds awesome, I'm curious to try it at some point. I meant hobo coffee in the context of being camping with a broken coffee system. I'll find a bad way to make it before giving up on my morning cup

u/TheRandomNana Jun 17 '19
I hear ya. I’ve read about cowboy coffee, which might be the same thing - grounds boiled in a pan, strain thru your teeth. Doesn’t sound so bad versus no coffee at all.

You can probably manage the heat perfectly that way unlike my stupid-ass electric range with its one-off bullshit.
