Ever found yourself craving a freshly brewed cup of coffee but found yourself without the beloved coffee maker? We’ve all been there. Whether you're camping in the wild or your coffee machine's decided to take a day off, knowing how to brew a delicious cup without a machine is an essential skill to have. Our easy five-step guide will ensure you're never coffee-less in any situation.
Step 1: Gather Your Essentials
Before you start improvising, gather your essentials. Think about the camping coffee essentials you might need. A pot or kettle, some water, a heat source, a spoon, and of course, your coffee grounds. If you didn’t carry any, check out the Camping Specialty Coffee Gift Box for some excellent options to have on hand.
Step 2: Add Coffee and Water
Measure out your coffee grounds. A good rule of thumb is to use two tablespoons of coffee for every six ounces of water. But hey, feel free to tweak this to suit your taste.

Step 3: Heat and Combine
Bring your water to a boil, or just below boiling if you prefer a more refined taste. Pour a little hot water over the grounds in your pot, just enough to wet them. Let them sit for about 30 seconds — this process is called blooming and releases the coffee's full fragrance.
Step 4: Brew
Pour the rest of the hot water over the coffee grounds, stirring gently to ensure full soaking. Let your coffee brew for about four minutes. This is where patience comes in handy. Just imagine how grateful those taste buds will be when you savor that final product!
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Finally, slowly pour your coffee into your mug. If you happen to have a filter on hand, it can help separate the grounds from your brew. If not, just let it sit a bit longer, allowing the grounds to settle before pouring. No matter where you are, from a beginner coffee enthusiast to an avid camper, this freshly brewed cup might just be the highlight of your day.
