Full Review:

When you are in the outdoors and want coffee, brewing a cup can be a challenge. This is why you need the most convenient types of coffee makers. Corded units are not the best option for this and this leaves you with manual models. However, not all manual coffee makers would be ideal for your outdoor adventures. French press and Moka pots can be very bulky and pour-over coffee makers are usually made of glass. And then there’s the pour-over mesh coffee dripper which some people might find unsuitable for completely getting the flavor out of the grounds. So, what should you have? Here is AeroPress 83R20: the best camping coffee maker.

AeroPress 83R20 is particularly designed to bear the demands outdoors. It has a thick plastic body that is extremely durable and almost unbreakable. It is also rather compact (with just the body, the plunger, and the cap) with total measurements of 9 1/2″ x 4″ x 4″. With this, you can just basically throw anywhere in your bag without worrying about breakage nor space.

By applying pressure, the water would be able to pull out more flavor from the grounds resulting in the best tasting cup of joe.

On the other hand, what really makes AeroPress 83R20 the best camping coffee maker is its ability to produce a full-bodied coffee. Start by putting a filter (the package comes with a total of 350 microfilters) to the cap and then twist it onto the chamber. Put the amount of coffee grounds you want according to the strength you prefer and next is the hot water. Use the plunger to push the content gradually and you’ll be able to extract the coffee instantly. The best part about it is that by applying pressure, the water would be able to pull out more flavor from the grounds resulting in the best tasting cup of joe. Further, besides the grit-free coffee, we also love that AeroPress 83R20 can serve up to 3 cups of coffee in a single pressing!

Cleanup is also not a problem. With just a tap and pouring some water on it, we were able to get rid of the coffee grounds in the AeroPress. We also didn’t see any sharp corners or sections in any of the accessories in the package, so cleaning everything with our hands was easier.
