I'll chime in on the Jet Boil coffee press ... I press all my coffee, but found this unit to fall short when a little tighter fit would have been great! Might just be my style, but constantly wound up with so many grinds, I might has just as well done a pour and stir. Ultimately, I found some cheese cloth in my pack and used that to assist filtration.

For the instant guys: Try Pampa instant from Walmart, best instant coffee I've found and it's all of $1.27 for the small jar.  I introduced my buddy to this coffee on our Wyoming hunt and he didn't touch his Starbucks Vias the rest of the trip.

took the jetboil and coffee press out this weekend and it was great!  No grounds, and had delicious, warm, coffee while i stared at a hillside that was completely uninhabited by anything with four legs.

I have an MSR Windburner stove and it is like a JETBOIL. Here is a tip of what not to do. DO NOT put the water and grounds in and then place the little french press filter on the top. It will boil, create pressure, and explode boiling hot coffee and water all over your face, wall tent, sleeping bag, pillow, and whatever else. I mean, i would never do that I just heard about it from a guy........... :bash: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Boil the water alone and add the coffee later. It seems like I should have known that but i had a momentary laps of judgment and it created a very good laugh!

I never realized that many people pressed coffee let alone while hunting. Can’t judge though, do whatever it takes to get your caffeine and get moving
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Get up, Leave camp, have a Via after first light while spotting.   Follow with instant oatmeal.  Simple, quick.

I did too. I just had the set up in my tote and we were at our base camp. Coffee press seemed like a good idea at the time LOL. I dont care to bring it into the back country though because I have to carry in grounds and it is messy and inconvenient.

 :yeah: And did you know you can pour hot water directly into the instant oatmeal packet and it will turn out just the same.  no clean up necessary (it works for quaker instant at least)

Edit: Upon further research I found I was using the press incorrect and needed to turn the tines downward against the push (somewhat opposite of a stainless plunger). Also give them a little spread out for full contact if the tines might have compressed some from storage.

We've gotten spoiled. Remember drinking cowboy coffee? Most of the grounds would settle until you got to the bottom of the pot. Always tasted great at camp.

Here’s the setup I used hunting blacktail last weekend (shot and missed). I use the aero press instead of a coffee press. It’s a little smaller and IMO makes a cleaner cup. I also don’t have a French press. For the aero press, you want a medium or medium-fine grind. It will be a minute or two quicker than the press since you don’t have to wait for it to steep. I’ve found that Trader Joe’s has consistently good coffee without being too expensive.
