How to make coffee with a camping percolator
Coffee and camping go hand-in-hand. For me, coffee is a daily ritual, and camping without a hand-warming, steaming cup of java doesn’t seem right. If you want the bold smell of perfectly roasted coffee to waft over your campsite first thing in the morning, use these tips to make your perfectly brewed cup with a camping percolator.
Start with the right percolator.
You may not know it but you’ve seen a camping percolator before. Like the image, these old-school but useful tools have been part of American iconography since 1880. Often seen brewing over a fire while a cowboy plays his harmonica, new styles and sizes are available due to camping and coffee tech advancements. Since space and weight are a concern when camping or backpacking, keep those criteria in mind when making your selection.
