As the crisp, cooler air and mild temperatures start to settle in and we look ahead to fall and winter camping, the PinDrop™ team has compiled a thorough list of options for making your perfect cup of morning coffee. We all know hot beverages are critical to successful adventures and the key to staying warm and well in the wild.
There’s nothing quite like starting your day with a hot cup of coffee in the great outdoors. The PinDrop™ Travel Trailer, with its well-equipped galley kitchen, solar powered amenities, and convenient two-burner propane stove, offers multiple ways to brew your perfect cup of coffee, no matter your preference.
Explore Pin Drop™ Founders' top six methods to make coffee in your PinDrop™.
Classic Pour Over
The pour-over method is a favorite among coffee aficionados for its simplicity and the control it offers over the brewing process. In your
PinDrop’s galley, simply heat water on the two-burner propane stove until it’s just off the boil. Place a filter and freshly ground coffee in your pour-over dripper, and slowly pour the hot water over the grounds. The result is a smooth, flavorful cup of coffee that’s perfect for sipping while enjoying the view from your remote, off grid campsite or in your favorite campground.
2. Espresso with an Italian Bialetti Stovetop Coffee Maker
For those who crave the rich, bold flavor of Italian espresso, the Italian Bialetti stovetop coffee maker is a must-have. The PinDrop’s propane stove is ideal for this method, which brews espresso by passing boiling water pressurized by steam through ground coffee. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a robust shot of espresso to kickstart your morning. Bialetti Espresso can be poured off and enjoyed on fresh whipping cream or with half and half in the morning or add a bit of sugar for a sweet treat in the afternoon.
3. Cowboy Coffee Embrace the rugged side of camping with a classic pot of cowboy coffee. This method involves boiling water directly on the stove and adding coffee grounds right into the pot. After a few minutes of boiling, remove the pot from heat and let the grounds settle. Cowboy coffee is strong and straightforward.
4. French Press
The French press is a portable and easy-to-use option that fits perfectly in the PinDrop™ galley. Heat water on the stove, pour it over coarsely ground coffee in the French press, and let it steep for a few minutes. Press down the plunger, and you’re ready to enjoy a rich and full-bodied cup of coffee. The French press is ideal for those who like to savor the full flavor of their coffee beans. Add half and half or your choice of non dairy creamer for desired taste.
5. Vintage Percolator
For a touch of nostalgia and a robust flavor, consider brewing your coffee in a traditional vintage percolator. The PinDrop™ Travel Trailer’s propane stove is perfect for this time-honored method. Simply fill the percolator with water, add your favorite coffee grounds to the basket, and place it on the stove. As the water heats up, it’s forced through the coffee grounds, creating a rich and aromatic brew that’s strong and full-bodied. The gentle bubbling sound of the percolator adds a comforting, old-school vibe to your morning routine, making it a great choice for those who appreciate a classic cup of coffee while camping.
6. Loam Coffee Single Origin Travel Pouches We would be remiss not to mention another independent brand and values-driven company, Loam Coffee Roasters. A Portland, Oregon headquartered coffee roasting company, Loam Coffee offers a variety of light roasted and single origin blends. In line with PinDrop ™ company core values, Loam Coffee "invests in incubating startups and creating jobs in overlooked communities."

perfect for a variety of camping experiences, offering high-quality coffee without the need for extra equipment. Just boil water on the stove, pour it into your cup over the Loam Coffee single-serve, and let it steep. In minutes, you’ll have a rich, flavorful brew that’s perfect for enjoying the morning chill of fall in the great outdoors (while supporting another independent business at the same time). Loam Single Origins are sold in packs of 5. They also offer 8oz., 10 oz., and 2 lb. bags of their premium coffee. SHOP LOAM.
Household Power for Coffee Grinder (or even a Coffee Maker)
In the PinDrop™ Galley Kitchen, for those who prefer freshly ground coffee, the PinDrop™ Travel Trailer has you covered. The galley kitchen is equipped with
a household power outlet (available with the 100% solar powered capability of PinDrop™) allowing you to plug in a traditional coffee grinder by simply turning on the inverter. This means you can enjoy the aroma and flavor of freshly ground beans, elevating your coffee experience even in the great outdoors. Whether you’re preparing a pour-over, French press, or any other brewing method, freshly ground coffee beans will enhance the richness and depth of your brew, making every cup truly enjoyable.
