Coffee Outside

I recently decided to do the Coffee Outside thing on some of my rides. Doing it cheaply was my main goal.

After watching several videos on different alcohol stove designs I decided on what seemed the simplest and made mine from an aluminum beer bottle.

I bought a little stainless pot at Walmart for about $5.

For my pour-over set-up I cut off the top of a Gatorade bottle to make a funnel. Since these photos were taken I’ve put the lid back on with a couple of holes drilled in it so the coffee steeps a little longer. I use the standard coffee filters which we already have at home.

For a windscreen I first used aluminum foil and later epoxied together a few pieces cut from cans.

Not being a real coffee geek I’m fine using the same pre-ground cheap coffee that we use in our automatic drip maker at home.

If I continue to do this I’m sure I will tweak and refine my system.
