How to do GREAT coffee camping!

[@Phil_McAvity]

I cut the handle off my grinder. Welded a 14mm bolt head to the top, so now I grind my beans with my Makita drill 👌

[@WildTouring]

Use to do that with an old grinder too. I like my new one too much to go near it with power tools yet 😂

[@sleddy01]

and turn them into dust?

[@noproblem2big337]

I'm Italian and Bialetti has been used from way back, with these coffee makers the idea is to get the minimum boiling, and looks like you have perfected this down to a fine art👌👍

[@MiniLuv-1984]

You are quite the espresso connoisseur! Great advice, thanks. (My misses has made it very, very clear, no cappuccino in the morning, no misses - which oddly enough gives me incredible freedom - ohh, hun the coffee machine in the camper is broken).

[@WildTouring]

😂 bonus!!

[@calcon6]

omg ..... That looked so yummy !!! Ive been using my french press, Now i'm going to try this method, I have to watch it a few times to get it all in.... Thanks

[@southcrossbadge]

That's probably the best part of the day! Waking up your caravan park neighbours with a nice smell of coffee. That's so lush!

[@WildTouring]

Definitely helps me get out of bed in the morning!!

Thanks 😘 I’ve always wondered how the moka pot works. Happy trails 🏕

[@lynschostakowski8819]

We do the same in our van. Wake up and make a good coffee. Gets the day off to a good start.

[@southernexposures484]

Awesome tips, I use a smaller moka pot at the moment but I think I really need to tweak my skills....the breville milk frother looks like the go too!

[@Ride_on54]

That is pretty fancy for the bush im getting one what I like is no filters

[@stuartkcalvin]

Nice piece mate. Thanks.

[@jasoncolquhoun1132]

We use the Lume portable and rechargeable grinder great little burr grinder, also have a Hario hand grinder as backup for our twin aeropresses.

[@mjcm1963]

Great video. And perfect looking coffee.

[@MM-li8nk]

Lovin' the grinder! was wanting to keep it simple and not worry about the bigger coffee appliances out there, you can overdo it I think. I can ditch the frother too as I'm a LB with a splosh of fresh pouring cream type ... Bottoms up! :)

[@michaelpreston9840]

Love your work Cam

[@antem77]

Well I guess I know what I’m buying myself for Christmas 👍 Thanks guys😉

[@bencorlett]

This is great Cam. I’m a Bialetti user too while camping. At home, we use an ECM Mekanica and it’s so much fun, even after these years. I’m so glad you’re actually knowledgeable on this and aren’t plugging a shitty $180 pod machine lol. We’ve been digging cold brew lately. We’re between campers but when our new one arrives, I think cold brew will be great in summer, especially for trips up to a week away where we can brew it at home and then take it with us.

[@WildTouring]

What are you using to make your cold brew Ben? I'm thinking it would be a great option for me to take to work!

[@bencorlett]

@@WildTouring I use this: cremacoffeegarage.com.au/hario-cold-brew-pot-white-1l.html I was recommended to try this: cremacoffeegarage.com.au/toddy-cold-brew-system-758591011027.html However the Hario pot is smaller and easier to store I feel. Go ever so slightly coarser on the grind than an espresso shot or it can take a bloody long time to get the coffee to drip through into the Hario.

[@gregcampbell1225]

We have been using the 4 cup Moka pot teamed up with the Bellman steamer - works well in our camp set-up

[@WildTouring]

Have seen the Bellman, looks like a great bit of kit!

[@marilynfowke8645]

Love your show, just bought the Breville milk frothier and love it 😊 thanks for your recommendation.

[@ruggedrvaustralia5831]

Well done guys, coffee and camping essentials of life.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Mate top tips, I use a Hario hand grinder with a Wacaco espresso and a little burner with pot kit.. freaking amazing first thing in the morning at camp. Also started taking my plastic v60, well worth it if you love your black coffee

[@katherineporter2654]

That is great information going to get this kit for home, always wondered if those pots were any good for coffee 😀😀

[@WildTouring]

Once we perfected the Moka pot, our bench top espresso machine at home was retired to a dusty shelf under the sink!

[@travellingfriendsofaustral9144]

Looks amazing! I love a good cuppacino

[@ScenicWisdom]

The trick with mocha pots is to pre boil the water so that the grinds are not exposed to too much heat as the water comes up to temperature. You’ll get a much smoother result. You’re welcome 😉

[@WildTouring]

Yeah I definitely have to do this with my 6 cup moka! I find I don't need to with the 3 cup though, I think the volume of water is so small it heats up quick enough that the water isn't in contact with the grounds for long enough to extract bitterness or to burn.

[@Gee-Wizz]

[@stevescaife1940]

Good video Cam. Put your drinking chocolate in a little salt/pepper shaker, really easy to sprinkle on top of your cappuccino instead of a spoon.

[@WildTouring]

We started the trip with a shaker. But the humidity up north kept blocking it up so we gave up on it 😂

[@trevtreloar1449]

We've been debating for ages whether or not to take our Nespresso with us. In the end we went with the same as you.

[@Cadz-On-Tour]

Your delivery of a subject is so good, and I love a good coffee! How does your ground version compare to Expresso Pods?

[@anthony.grisan]

Hi Wayne, Espresso pods have coffee in it that could be up to 12 months old. You could not compare it to the fresh coffee that he has on screen. Fresh coffee is worlds different. If you have a pod machine i suggest you goodle reusable coffee pods and search for a coffee that is good for you and grind it yourself.

[@davetunbridge6637]

We’ve got an expressotoria pod machine which I run off a 1700w inverter. Finally sourced reusable pods from a company called “ pod star”. Very well made, machined from solid s/s. we have a hand grinder as well for our fresh beans and also have a mocha pot but ours is s/s ( don’t want the al 🥸). We use a wizzy stick thingy from ikea to froth the milk, but might invest in one like Cam’s.

[@WildTouring]

Gday Wayne. It's all personal preference. For me, how we do coffee like in this video (fresh beans, correct grind for the method of extraction and full fat milk), it's on par with a good barista coffee. A step above a pod. Having said that. Pods are very easy and they're consistent. A cup of coffee from a pod is likely to be better than a poorly executed stove top (stale beans, wrong grind, allowing it to boil over etc..). So pods machines still have their place.

[@royager3092]

A trick I leaned from James Hoffman (coffee expert) is to pre boil the water.This way the coffee in the metal does not bake while you wait for the water to boil. Bit like the home grinder that pre heats before the coffee comes out. I’ve tried it and told other and the agreement is, is it defo make a difference. Try it, let me know.

[@WildTouring]

I’ve tried this at home, and my dad swears by that method. It definitely passes through the coffee quicker and ensures you get no burnt or bitter flavours. But I feel like the water passes through too quick and Isn’t in contact with the grinds for long enough to get full extraction resulting in a weaker brew. Might just be my taste. At home I normally run the tap until it’s hot, and fill up the bottom of the moka pot with that tap hot water. Reduces a bit of time to make the brew, but doesn’t spurt out too fast.

[@dad4x4adventures8]

My question to you is do you enjoy a fresh coffee more than a warm Export?

[@4x4CampingandAdventures]

😂😂😂

[@WildTouring]

You always ask the tough questions!!!

[@jackiemc862]

This post has definitely inspired me to make sure we have great coffee. Can I ask where did you get your mug from? Seems to be a very good size.

[@WildTouring]

Mugs are from espresso tenango

[@sandyfoottravels2858]

Another great one thanks guys. SIDE NOTE, are you caught in the huge wet cell approaching Nth West WA??

[@WildTouring]

[@hiluxjase6665]

I haven’t written a comment I don’t think but you guys are the bomb. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great content. I use a Nanopresso and Nespresso frother for my coffees. Just wish I could find a Nespresso pod machine with a low wattage so I could use on my 1500watt inverter with agm 120w battery. Are there any out there? Lowest one I can find seems to use around 1600w

[@big5astra]

Nice video - gives me some food for thought. Question: What amount of water do you use for that heaped coffee holder and do you know roughly what weight of ground coffee the holder holds? Thanks

[@WildTouring]

You fill it up to the pressure point, not sure exactly how many ML, probably just over half a cup. Have not weighed the coffee either, you just keep filling to the top 🙂

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Looks delish 😋

[@cabgolf]

Awesome vid mate, growing tired of the pod coffees and looking to go this exact set up. Having never used beans etc just wondering roughly how long it takes to grind the beans to your desired texture

[@WildTouring]

Probably 30ish second 👍🏼

[@BenJamin-ou7kd]

After trying 2 Michael pots , I still get a metallic taste, I don't know why

[@oscadelta]

Checkout James Hoffman, he has a great method for the moka pot .. love my moka pot coffee

[@lisasteele6895]

What size coffee grinder do you have? Trying to work out whether two big coffees need the large or if the small will do. Thanks

[@WildTouring]

We have the small which is just the right amount for the 3 cup mocka. If you’ve got a bigger one definitely go with the large.

[@4x4CampingandAdventures]

I was told by a good source you needed 3000w inverter and a $2000 machine to get good coffee in the bush 😉 good video mate enjoyed it!

[@robertarmstrong3588]

I see that you use a Nespresso machine sometimes. I have a 1500 watt inverter. What are the power issues using the Nespresso machine?

[@WildTouring]

Have done in the past. I had no issues running it off our 2000w inverter. Just check your machine to see what it draws (I seem to remember it was closer to 1700w). We just prefer using fresh beans. Pods can have beans that are 12mnths+ old.

[@descowan5410]

Hi Cam, great clip. This maybe a silly question but at what stage do u put the sugar in if you use it. Cheers

[@WildTouring]

We don’t have sugar in our coffees but not sure it would matter

[@michaelhermans4753]

I’d be interested in what other coffee makers you have tried

[@WildTouring]

Off the top of my head - Nespresso pod machine, delonghi pod machine, a few different sunbeam espresso bench top models, sunbeam drip filter machine, Aero press, French press and a few different brands/styles of stove top percolators.

[@davidshannon4854]

@@WildTouring Try a Wacaco Nanopresso. A bit more manual input, but awesome crema.

[@geoffstein3896]

Hi Cam/Tiff, with the milk frother you put up it uses 42amps. Sorry if it's a silly question but I don't know too much about 12 volt power. Does that mean you'll use 42 amps of your battery to hear up that milk? I have a 12 volt setup in my MDC Cruiser Slide 2 X 100 AH batteries and I'd love to operate a milk frother in mine and make a coffee the same way you have I'm not a fan of instant. Cheers

[@WildTouring]

Nah mate if it’s drawing 42amp that means it would draw 42ah off your batteries if it were running for an entire hour. If you were using it for 5 mins or so it would only take 3.5ah off your battery capacity.

[@geoffstein3896]

not coffe related at all - but what aircompressor do you use - and could it be bolted onto a hilux SR under the hood ?

thank you for this video. finally showing people how to make a good coffee camping. I own gricello coffee and we sell camp packs with coffee and Bialetti Cafe tierra. www.gricello.com.au/collections/coffee/products/gricello-coffee-pack . My tip is not to grind the coffee too fine. As a moke pot cooks the coffee at 100 degree water and a machine is 93 degrees. the finer you grind the more chance you will have a burnt taste. Go level with the hopper i would stack higher as it doesnt allow the coffee to go through as well. The gritty sand is good. great work
