What You'll Need
- Coffee - Choose the best coffee for hikers and campers, like the Tanzania Coffeebrewer, perfect for a portable coffee experience.

Steps to Brew Coffee Without a Machine
Step 1: Heat the Water
Start by heating water in a pot over a stove or a campfire. You'll want it to be just off boil, around 200°F (93°C).
Step 2: Prepare Your Coffee
While the water is heating, measure your coffee grounds. For a single cup, use about 2 tablespoons of coffee. Choose from Specialty Coffee Beans Taster Box for a variety of unique flavors.
Step 3: Combine and Wait
Once your water is ready, add the coffee grounds directly to your mug. Pour the hot water over the grounds, allowing them to bloom—this releases the coffee's rich aroma and flavor.
Step 4: Stir and Steep
Give the coffee a good stir to ensure even extraction. Let it steep for about 4 minutes. During this time, enjoy the scents and perhaps browse some coffee gift ideas under £30 on Orova Coffee.
Step 5: Strain and Serve
After steeping, use a spoon to hold back the grounds as you pour the coffee into another mug, or simply sip with care, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom.
