JetBoil and Coffee
« on: October 24, 2018, 10:13:33 AM »
I just picked up a Jetboil and coffee press.  Anyone have any tips or coffees they prefer?  Good grounds to water ratio?  I have watched a couple of the videos online, but was wondering about any of your first hand experiences as well.

If you are using the French press attachment I use 2 slightly heaping tablespoons. My new favorite coffee in this has become the folgers singles. I've tried lots of different instants but I really like these the best. No grounds mess afterwards either.

Please don't ban me from the site for saying what I am about to say..... :chuckle: :chuckle:!!

The best instant coffee I have found hands down is.......starbucks via.  I know....I am supporting an anti gun liberal thug!!!   :bash: :bash: :bash:  I should be banned....but it is absolutely delicious and no press needed.  Easy to pack, taste great and cut weight with no press needed. 

Now if you want to press coffee make sure you are getting a little bit more coarse grind so it does not clog the press.  Pressed coffee with any quality bean is great.  I persanally do not like the press that goes with the jetboil as it makes a mess and quite often I end up with cowboy coffee....grinds and all.  If you are using for a base camp item buy a better press.   :twocents:

I apologize for my ignorance, because i feel like this is a stupid question.  With the coffee press I can use any ground coffee I want correct?  It doesnt need to be instant?

Yup, any ground coffee will work.

I just carry a pourover cup and some cone filters in my truck.  Pretty convenient.

Dark Timber all the way.  I like it so much I use it in my drip pot at home.  I cant even look at a vias anymore.  Plus Tony from DT is a great guy, local washington boy, gives a percentage of each purchase to conservation, and is a site member.

Starbucks is fine stuff ... as long as you like your beans burnt!  :chuckle: personally I don’t put too much into when hunting the Folgers singles are fine or cafe bustello singles. At home lavazza is the best and Torrefazione was the best before Starbucks bought them out.

If I'm hunting I go with instant coffee to save time in the morning. Ht. Hagen organic is the best I've tried (i think i was turned onto it thanks to a different coffee thread on this forum). If I'm recreational backpacking and not rushed for time then I use the jetboil/french press. Any ground coffee works. I like mine strong so I do like 2 cups of water and at least a 1/2 cup ground coffee. I bring it to a light rolling boil too for a couple minutes which is very hard to do without it boiling over. Some claim that it will burn the coffee but I've never had any complaints.

This might sound stupid, but also make sure your press is oriented the correct direction. I know guys who had theirs upside down and then couldn't figure out why they had some many grounds in their coffee!

This probably won't fly for most of you coffee snobs, but I tried the Safeway Select Organic instant coffee last week and I found it to be surprisingly good! Not burnt like the Starbucks Vias stuff. I was really impressed. This coming from a self proclaimed coffee snob.
