Caffeine Addicts Inquire Within

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 remember seeing that! If they ever have them in stock again Id add one to my coffee arsenal in a heart beat.
 
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.
I have two of those bottles and have been less-than-impressed with their thermal retention.
I also have several of the old UnoVac stainless bottles with the soft stopper that greatly outperform them. I theorize that the hard vs. soft stopper is the key to the heat retention. My theory being that the hard stoppers with gaskets leak when the liquid cools and thus don't maintain the vacuum.
 
I love my little Stanley French press. The Wife and I use it often at home as well. The little Stanley pot and cups help as well. Works great on a one burner stove, camp fire or regular stove as well
 
I use a Jetboil with a pour over mesh filter that sits over a large thermos. To make it successful I have to grind our coffee more course than we use at home. If you want to try something new my current favorite is "Jet Fuel" by the Independence Coffee Company (and it is AWESOME): http://www.independencecoffee.com/p...-lb-bulk-the-original-multi-origin-dark-roast

I ALWAYS keep Jet Fuel around in my kit. It may not be the most subtle cup of coffee you're gonna get, but it has gotten me through seriously rough mornings.
