Aeropress Portable Travel Coffee Press
It’s not easy making coffee when you’re out on an adventure, but the other team members will be your best friends if you do so, or it’ll enhance your enjoyment of a solo endeavour.
The Aeropress is something we don’t usually leave home without to make adventures more enjoyable and relaxing (this is something we’ll write about in a separate article).
One full Aeropress will make a single coffee at your usual strength, however, to make more, just add more ground coffee to the main section and boil some more water to dilute it to your needs. Perfect for bikepacking, hiking, packrafting, and fastpacking adventures.
