If you’re a coffee snob get a French press if not Mr. Coffee. Thanks to being a wildland firefighter over the years I’ve become a coffee snob and I’m ashamed to say good coffee and a French press are always in my gear bag during fire season.
There I said it. I wear Italian leather boots and drink coffee from a French press. What have I become!
I'm going with a French press. It's cheaper than a fullsize coffee maker and it tastes much better.
It's also easy to bring on car camping trips while doing some hunting/fishing.
Im looking for a new single serve coffee maker as well, I’ve had a Bunn MCU for about 8 years and it stopped working a couple days ago. I bought it verses a keurig do to a stainless water resivoir instead of plastic and also it dispersed the exact amount of water you poured in the top instead of a 4,6,or 8 oz setting.
Right on!
I was hesitant to mention it and expose my degree of coffee snobbery.
Mine is still going strong after 8+ years. 1 cup to 10 cups, all perfect.
Coffee is a big deal to me.
Lots of days I use a stove top percolator, a stainless steel deal same as in use truck camping....use it on my stove top.
My wife bought me a semi commercial job de'longhi espresso maker about 10 years ago, they were pretty expensive back then, now they are crazy high.
I went through a couple Keurig models of single serves, seems like I get about 2.5 year out of them then they shit the bed.
My latest has both a full coffee pot as well as the single serve. It does a decent job howver the water reservoir could be larger. ..that said its decent..
Have a office model Bunn with the steel tank over at my shop, but has the preheated tank so it makes a pot of coffee in about 5 minutes total....its just ok, not the best pot of coffee by far.
