I know, I know, but when I finally go full time I won't care when I get up. I drink coffee at work and on the weekends just to maintain the addiction. Once I retire, I'll go through the three days of headache and be done with it forever.
Here is my home and single camping coffee brewing system. When I camp at the two annual Society of Primitive Technology camp outs I provide coffee to many of the participants because the organizers are Mormon and don't provide coffee so there I use a big percolator and pre ground beans.

In case anyone was still wondering, at 12 hours, the water temp was 170 degrees. I missed the 24 hour mark, but at 36 hours, the temperature was 130 degrees. Not the best solution for fresh coffee, but not a bad one either. And glad I could spark a lively debate on campsite coffeemaking! You guys have certainly given me a lot of things to consider.
What!? This is it? This better be your "executive summary" to the entire report.
You had a pretty elaborate hypothesis going on in the beginning and we don't even get a lousy chart? What the heck?
@Dave... no American Adventurist Grant money for this one...

HAHA! Love it. I've been too busy getting ready for MRV to sit down and make an Excel chart. I figured since I didn't use an infrared thermometer and didn't have my readings down to the second, as well as compensating for ambient temperature and relative humidity (blah blah blah), I could fudge a little on my conclusions.
I'll apply for the Grant when I get my French Press!
Thanks for the update. I was going to ask. If you want to try out the aeropress, feel free to come by my camp at MRV for a cup.

I will take you up on that! I'm definitely gonna need the coffee.
in general they say the ratio of coffee to water is 2 tablespoons to 6oz of water. Since the Moka pot is making espresso, a lot of people will do the brew then add water to make a "standard" cup of coffee. It still uses a bit more coffee than an electric drip machine, but not too bad

So in my search for something camp worthy for coffee, I am also looking for something that can do double duty as the home coffee maker. At home, I typically enjoy 3 cups of coffee or so, so ideally, I'd like to make 3 cups at once, while at home. Right now, I'm leaning toward a percolator, but I also really like the ease of the aeropress. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm tired of my standard drip pot.

I use two systems depending on whether I'm solo or with the family.
For my wife, the GSI Java Drip works great.
It uses the same #4 filters as our home drip machine, and I brew directly into a 40oz Hydroflask vacuum bottle (which doubles as a growler, so we can bring in fresh beer for the 1st night, then rinse it and use it for coffee on subsequent mornings)
When I'm solo, I like to take a bit more time and get a stronger brew, so I make vietnamese-style coffee using a punched-tin drip system. (I also use the traditional coffee with chickoree). Drip over a healthy dollop of sweetened condensed milk, and whooboy. This system makes a small cup of a very potent brew, and takes a bit more time, but it is BY FAR my preferred way to start the day.

This was my experience as well with the Snow Peak French Press. Now I heat with a JetBoil Flash, hand grind with a GSI grinder, and brew with a GSI Collapsible Java Drip. When I have it available, my cordless DeWalt gets hooked up to my coffee grinder.
You guys made me do it.
I've had the Aeropress said on the Amazon wish list for a while. I never liked the Jetboil press because I don't like grounds in my coffee. I've tried small instant packs, in fact there is still some in the van. I used a single K cup brewer for a couple years. If we weren't plugged in I just turned on the inverter to make some coffee. I started having problems with it so it was time for a change.
I just brewed my first cup. Seems like a lot of stuff to carry but we bring half the house when we camp anyway. Clean up didn't seem terrible which was a concern when I first looked at it.
Getting ready to make a second cup and browse the forum.

Did somebody say Caffeine?
Omg, this what I've been missing! A pelican to store my caffeine fix junk in. I shall run right to the garage and pick one out from the stash! Why didn't I think of that!
I use the JetBoil and a gamila press. In case you've not seen it:

I have not seen this. I dont need another way to make coffee, but I have a feeling I will end up with one of these

They were designed in the town I used to live in (Raleigh) and I got the first one on a kickstarter. Wife loved it, so she got when they went mass market.
Nice because once you plunge it, no mess, and keeps coffee warm for hours. The. You clean it once you've had your caffeine!
