DIY Camping Coffee Kit (the best gadgets make great gifts too!)

Coleman Camping Coffeemaker

 Coleman Camping Coffee Maker Use Over A Camping Stove

One of the reasons we love the Coleman Camping Coffeemaker is because you use it directly over a regular camping stove.  

• It has a steel base that fits over most camp stove burners and it can make 10 cups at a time.
• After the water starts boiling, the water moves through the filter and brews into the glass decanter.
• It gets better than that … there is a Pause ‘N Serve feature that lets you steal a cup before the entire pot is done brewing!!!
• And, THAT is why it made our list of the best propane camping gear!

Coleman Portable Propane Coffeemaker

Coleman QuikPot Propane Coffee Maker

There are many camping gadgets that operate using a standard 16.4-ounce propane cylinder (you know, the little cans you screw on to camp stoves) and this Coleman Portable Propane Coffeemaker is one of them.

• One cylinder will run this coffee maker for over 4 hours. 
• It is easy to get your camp coffee brewing with an auto ignition button.
• If you are brewing a whole pot it makes 10 cups in only 15 minutes!

Coleman 14 Cup Percolator

Coleman Enamelware Percolator, 14 Cup

Keeping up with the demand for coffee when you are camping with a larger group of coffee drinkers is challenging if you are brewing with a standard 8 cup pot.

• Bigger crowds require bigger batches of coffee and that’s why we love this Coleman 14 Cup Percolator!
• Personally, we consider a really good-sized coffee pot to be one of our essential RV kitchen accessories we could never live without!

Stanley Cook + Brew Set

Stanley Adventure All-in-One Boil + Brew French Press | 32 OZ

This Stanley Cook + Brew Set is one of the best camping coffee gadgets for backpackers and tent campers who rely on lightweight equipment that can be used for multiple purposes.

• The set brews, boils, and cooks! The nesting space-saving design is sleek and smart.
• Plus, the handle extends to pour and then folds flat for packing and storage.

Large French Press Coffee Maker

 Large French Press Coffee Maker Vacuum Insulated 34 Fluid Ounce Capacity

Some campers like their coffee hot and others like it cold … this Large French Press Coffee Maker can brew either way! 

• The Gator press is designed to keep sediment out while allowing the coffee oils in … making for a rich, full-bodied brew.
• The 34 fl oz capacity makes enough to share with your coffee-loving camping friends!

Collapsible Outdoor Camping Kettle

Collapsible Camping Kettle For Hiking, Travel & Outdoors 42 Ounce Capacity, Foldable & Heat Resistant

Camping gadgets that collapse are great for packing and storage!

• This Collapsible Outdoor Camping Kettle has an aluminum base which ensures even heating and durability.
• The silicone body makes it collapsible and easily portable.
• This nice compact unit holds about 4 cups of coffee.
• Personally, I call that a “single serving” but I am a bottomless pit when it comes to my morning java! LOL

Single Serve Pour Over Coffee Dripper

OXO Brew Single Serve Pour-Over Coffee Maker

Camping solo? This Single Serve Pour Over Coffee Dripper is an awesome gadget to make camp coffee with minimal effort.

Mini Whipped Cream Dispenser

 Easy Whip Plus Mini Cream Whipper 1/2 Pint Mini Size N2O Cream Chargers

Coffeehouse mocha with fresh whipped cream is always a favorite … even at the campsite!

• Using a Mini Whipped Cream Dispenser makes it super simple to add real whipped cream to your coffee drinks and campfire hot cocoa!
• We just pour liquid cream into the canister, add a splash of vanilla syrup or sugar, shake and screw on the charger. 
• That’s it! It is sooooooo easy and delicious!
• Once you make a batch, it lasts up to 14 days in the fridge or cooler that is kept at the proper temperature.

Mini-Slim Plus Manual Coffee Grinder

 Mini-Slim Plus Manual Coffee Grinder Ceramic Coffee Mill 24g Capacity

Purists insist on freshly ground beans when it comes to their cup of java.

• Coffee grinders usually require electricity (which is not always available at the campsite) but this Portable Coffee Bean Grinder is manually operated with a simple hand crank!
• It works with almost any brewing system because it is easily adjustable for the perfect grind coarseness. You know … how you need a coarse grind if you are using a percolator or french press … but you need a fine grind for espresso!!!
• The hand crank detaches for compact storage and transportation.
• Coffee capacity 24g (for two cups of coffee); W150×D72×H220mm
