The Best Way To Make Fresh Brewed Coffee Anywhere -- DIY coffee bag

A simple method for making a fresh brewed cup of coffee in the wilderness.

We used to be able to buy commercial versions of the coffee bag in Ontario a few years ago. They are no longer available. We have tried to use "single cup coffee filters" to brew coffee in the wild. They work but it is a lengthy process that results in a luke warm cup of coffee. We are ignoring the directions again and doing a little re-engineering. The end result is exactly what we want on the trail: simple and easy.

This idea comes to us from "A Good Cup of Coffee" video produced by Dave at the Colhane Channel.

be carefull, some time stapples are glued each other with some type of plastic / adesive. Not good to drink :)

@nemerix Now that is something I never considered. Thank you for commenting and letting us all know. Better safe than sick!

You had, a good cup of coffee, till you put the candy in it.......If you drink coffee black for 1 week weather you like it or not. You will never put a thing in it again...

And at this point. You will be drinking "COFFEE". And prefer it....Try it and let me know.......You will be glad you did. Black strong coffee is a great thing in a natural state.

@todddguillory All right. You got me. Next brew in the wood is going to be black. I can't knock it until I try it. Leaving that candy as you call it at home will also lighten my load. A significant advantage of your suggestion for me! I will remember to keep you posted.

@EconoChallenge Hey, I'm from Seattle, home of coffee snobs and Charbucks. lol And I don't know anyone who drinks coffee there, given all the great independent alternatives.

Seems like a Clever Coffee Dripper would make a better cup by maintaining a more stable temperature for optimal extraction. Less hassle too, but the downside is that one would have to be more careful so as not to damage it while backpacking or traveling.

Now remember, You have to drink it for a week, Black. I was told this years ago from a Buddy that i worked with (he gave me a hard time). So i did what he asked and he was absolute 100 % correct. I enjoy coffee much more than ever. And like you said, no packing the extra. Not to mention that all you have to do is pore and drink. None of this mixing stuff. Could you see Clint Eastwood or John Wane putting candy in there coffee. LOL!!!! I think NOT!! Have a good one Bud.

@EconoChallenge It is really easy, You say, "Give me the biggest cup of coffee you have and leave room for cream and sugar." No wrries about, "Tall, Venti, and Grande." In my case however it is, "Fill this travel mug with your boldest brew today, no room needed for cream, milk, soy milk or anything other than coffee.Thanks." I prefer Tim Horton's myself. Say "large" get a large. Hand them a big thermos, get it filled for the price of (last time I was there) 2 larges. AHHH Coffee.

@hoosierarcher I could never learn how to order coffee at starbucks anyway. ;-)
