10 clever camping coffee makers

10 clever camping coffee makers – so you never need to drink instant when outdoors!

What coffee maker for outdoors?   We show you, 10 clever coffee makers, for when you are camping or hiking.

The aroma of a freshly brewed coffee when you are camping is a big highlight.   Some cold mornings, sitting around a campfire, with a cup in hand, is a great and very relaxing way to start your day. Or if you have done a hike, then sitting back, admiring the view whilst you rest is also highly satisfying with a cuppa.
