Cowboy Coffee Done Right (ft. Cat & Cloud Coffee)

Campfire coffee, cowboy coffee, call it what you will. There is something iconic about a gritty, scalding cup of coffee when waking up in nature. Whether brewing for a bunch, or going ultralight with a couple of friends, here’s a breakdown of the brew methods you can count on in the backcountry: Cowboy Coffee | Ideal for large groups when you have room to spare. 1.5 Cups of Coffee to 2 Gallons Water. French Press | When room is no problem and you’re serving 5 or so people, get a large, plastic French Press. 1 Gram Coffee to 12 Mils Water for a bold cup. Moka Pot | Show off with espresso-like coffee and dress it up with French-Press-frothed milk for a poor man’s campfire cappuccino. Aeropress | Dial in great coffee for 1-2 people, following recipes from Aeroprecipe.com [https://aeroprecipe.com/]. Steeped Coffee | Take all the fuss and equipment out of the picture with Steeped Coffee bags and enjoy compostable, single-serve coffee without sacrificing for weight.

About Caffeine & Deconstructing Decaf (ft. Counter Culture Coffee)

For some reason, decaf seems to be a bit of a polarizing topic in the coffee world, with many adhering to the mantra “Death Before Decaf” proudly. Some go so far to get this tattooed to their bodies. I’m here to dispel that nonsense. Coffee can, and should, be enjoyed for more than just a delivery device for caffeine. In this month’s episode, we talk about caffeine and deconstruct decaf to help shed some light on the ‘why’s’ and ‘how’s’ of caffeine-free coffee. There are surely hundreds of excellent decafs out there, but Slow Motion Decaf from Counter [https://counterculturecoffee.com/shop/coffee/slow-motion] Culture Coffee [https://counterculturecoffee.com/shop/coffee/slow-motion] in North Carolina is a standout. I highly recommend you pick up a bag so you can enjoy your coffee well into the evening without compromising your bedtime.
