Some people so can't go a day without a cup of coffee that they find it necessary to invest in a camping coffee maker when they go on holiday. This means that you can rough it in the bush without having to feel rough because you missed your usual cup of coffee.

The camping coffee maker is usually quite a beautiful and well-crafted item. Made of stainless steel it usually has a compact flat kettle at the bottom for holding the water over the fire. A tall thin spout usually ejects the freshly brewed coffee into a cup with you. Make sure you bring a thermos style cup along on your camping trips so that your freshly brewed expresso stays toasty.

Basically any stovetop expresso maker could be taken on a camping trip and placed over an open flame but they are just not as small or nice as the ones specifically designed for camping. They are made to be tiny so they can fit easily in a backpack while you are hiking.

Usually a camping coffee maker is not that expensive, running anywhere from thirty to sixty bucks depending on the type you get. You don't want to buy one too expensive in case you lose it. Also these items tend to get quite battered up during camping.

You can find them stores that specialize in hiking equipment, kitchen stores and also stores that specialize in express machine equipment. You can also find them online quite easily where usually they can be acquired very cheaply. To find the best one for you can always read coffee maker reviews that are posted online on consumer opinion type web sites.
