Tips

  • If you’re using a campfire to make coffee, be** sure to boil the water** for 3-4 minutes before adding the coffee grounds. This will help to remove any impurities from the water.
  • If you’re using an immersion blender, be sure to turn off the heat before blending the coffee mixture. Otherwise, the hot blades could cause the mixture to splatter.
  • If you’re making sun tea, be sure to use filtered water so that your tea doesn’t taste bitter.
  • If you’re making cowboy coffee, be sure to let the coffee grounds settle to the bottom of the pot before pouring it into your cup. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a mouthful of grounds.
  • If you’re making Turkish coffee, be sure to simmer the mixture, rather than boil it. Boiling the mixture will cause the coffee to become bitter.
  • If you’re making Vietnamese iced coffee, be sure to use a strong coffee so that it can stand up to the ice cubes. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a watered down drink.
  • If you’re using instant coffee, be sure to use hot water so that the coffee dissolves properly. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a clumpy mess.

Additional tips:

  • Try making iced coffee by brewing your coffee double strength and then adding ice cubes.
  • For a more intense flavor, try using roasted chicory in place of some of the coffee grounds.
