And I don’t mean a fresh one, I mean the one off his left foot.Ī coffee sock is not off your foot and it looks like this: The naturalist, upon finding that he had forgotten coffee brewing tools, proceeded to make his own coffee sock using his sock. One of the faculty who goes on our 7th grade backpacking trip had an experience once where on the trip, which is led by professional naturalists, he was offered coffee by one of the naturalists. I met a naturalist who used one that he got on a trip through Latin America.

One method that is along the lines of the bag approach is to use something called a coffee sock.

The question is really how to brew the coffee on the trail now that you have your grounds of choice ready to go. I prefer to grind some beans up right before leaving and put them in an appropriate sized baggie, which will keep them well enough for the trail.

The premise is the same, but they can be a little weak to me. In a similar vein, Lipton makes tea bags of coffee, and you brew it like tea. There are plenty who swear by them for travel, and I’m not going to knock them. I find their beans to be a little too acidic, produces waste that is easy to loose, and even though the Via has been improved, it doesn’t taste fresh or dissolve evenly in my experience. It’s, however, not really my cup of coffee. This is great if you like Starbucks, and the coffee is doled out into convenient little packets, one per cup. That seems to be the premise behind Starbuck’s Via coffee products, where the grain is so fine it dissolves very evenly. Not me, though it’s better than nothing, right?

Coffee, however, requires more than hot water, unless you’re really into “cowboy coffee” and drinking your grind. Same for packeted hot chocolate or cider and other warm beverages. Now, tea is easy for the trail, what with convenient tea bags or baggies of loose leaf if you prefer to take it that way. Many of us, and this is a Venn diagram of overlapping consumption, just plain enjoy it and savor the dark beverage. Many of us, let’s admit it, are addicted to coffee, or at least tea or caffeine in some sort.
