What’s your go-to brew method for camping? I find the Aeropress tough to beat.
Although my favourite camping coffee memories are with my parents’ beat-up old moka pot and pre-ground beans from the grocery store. I love me a good cup of coffee, but sometimes the best cup isn’t about the beans or the brew. It’s about the time, space, and people you share it with. Some of my all-time favourite cups of coffee came out of that piece of crap moka pot.
Mine is a small mokka/Turkish coffee pot with a removable handle. On a recent trip, someone bought a portable espresso thingy and it was a really nice alternative to the bottom-of-the-shelf cheap instant coffee we had otherwise. But to be honest, non-terrible instant coffee is fine for me, just don’t get the ultra cheap crap.
At the end (or rather beginning) of the day I settle for “hot, caffeinated, does not make me want to spit it out”. I’d rather drink the shitty cheapest possible instant coffee on a cool trip with nice people than the other way round.

There are some surprisingly decent instant coffees out there nowadays; a fancy third-wave roaster in my city even does instant now.
