[Shearwater]

Yup that's what I go hiking for. To drink espresso.

[Dowly]

Rrriiight... :shifty:

[SteamWake]

I love the way the eye candy looks on in great anticipation....

Worlds gone crazy and has lost all focus on common sense.

Hell i have brewed coffee in a sock :har:

[Snestorm]

Think I'll pass on that one.
But, thanks anyway.

Hell i have brewed coffee in a sock

I once went camping and then realized the next morning that I had forgotten the coffee filters. Well, coffee for me is as important as the sunrise, so cracked open my emergency kit and made a "coffee ball" out of bandages and floated it in boiling water. It made really crappy coffee and the grounds seeped right through the bandages even though they were layerd pretty thick. So the coffee came out like cowboy coffee. After every sip, you had to slosh water around your mouth and spit the grounds out. But I still drank the coffee. Yeah. Coffee is THAT important to me.

@Blacklight
Instant!
All you need is a cup/container, and water.
In an "emergency", even cold water will work.

Friendly advice from a fellow caffein addict.

[Rilder]

I honestly don't see what the appeal is about coffee, smells like crap and just being near it makes me nauseous.


People who never drink coffee representing!

:salute:

I get all my caffeine from carbonated soft drinks and the occasional Excedrin - just the way nature intended.

Haven't been that desperate for coffee while camping, but while at home I had brewed coffee through paper towels. That's just pure evil. Avoid at all costs.

Good thinking, with the bandages. I'd have used juniper or whatever and saved the bandages for our inevitable family stone fight. :D

LOL, coffee desperation, taken to a new level...:haha: really, your own coffee maker...

Its gotta be one of those $19.99 deals.:rotfl2:

That's got to be one of the funniest contraptions I've seen in a long time. :) Love coffee, but not enough to impress a female out in the middle of nowhere with a cup of premium rocket fuel.

[Reece]

Yummy, cold coffee with a hint of grease from the lubed pump! mmmm!:up:

:yeah: I've probably only had it once or twice, usually I stick to hot chocolate and hot food if I really want to get warm. Never had an espresso-thing either, although I'm sure with all the stuff they add in it's probably about the same as hot chocolate lol

"What's next? Earl Grey injectors?"

[Task Force]

lol, the things people buy.

[Spoon 11th]

I am only glad that such an apparatus is available for those who want and need one.

[krashkart]

The smell of chocolate without the chocolate... for those who enjoy tormenting themselves. :yeah:

[Reece]

Another Danoz Direct product, or was that Innovations, both crap!:oops::down:

oh **** off, just grow a pair, put the grounds in the cup, add hot water and wait 5 minutes, the grounds will settle on the bottam and you can drink.

Disolving coffee is like an abstanining prostitute, expensive and **** you in a way that you dont want.

I'm with you. Tea has all the caffeine and at least tastes good.

[Skybird]

Depends on the way of making your coffee. Normal brewing (regular coffee machine) is washing out not only the good, tasting, wanted stuff, but much crap, too, and then it washes the already worn out powder again and again.

Terrible!

Different is Espresso, then. A correctly brewed Espresso, on the other hand, takes out all the tasty ingredients and the aromatic oils, but leaves the bitter things in the powder. That's why the recipe for making Espresso is not free for endless variation, but the correct way must be followed relatively closely. It is smaller, hotter, tastes a billion times more aromatic than normally brewed coffee, but has around one third coffein less. That'S why you can serve it even later in the evening without steeling people's sleep.

Let's make Espresso the Vulcan way:

From INEI - Instituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano :D, the official recommendation of how to make the perfect Espresso. I do, roughly, like this, with a simple machine (no automatic monster), and I confirm it is a fully satisfying way of getting your tongue happy.

• Necessary portion of ground coffee 7 g ± 0,5
• Exit temperature of water from the unit 88°C ± 2°C
• Temperature of the drink in the cup 67°C ± 3°C
• Entry water pressure 9 bar ± 1
• Percolation time 25 seconds ± 2,5 seconds
• Viscosity at 45°C > 1,5 mPa s
• Total fat > 2 mg/ml
• Caffeine < 100 mg/cup
• Millilitres in the cup (including foam) 25 ml ± 2,5

Tea: sometimes. Darjeeling, Roiboosch, Japanese Green Tea.
