The 5 Best Camping Coffee Makers

ShareThis

Whether you're planning a camping, glamping, backpacking, or hiking trip, you need a coffee maker that is suited to your location and available materials. With the travel-friendly options below, you can still enjoy the comforts of home, with very little time or effort.

What is a camping coffee maker?

Coffee pots are available in all shapes and sizes, with some being particularly well-suited for camp sites and RVs. Camping coffee makers are typically a bit slower than your traditional coffee maker, but they'll still allow you to enjoy coffee just the way you like it, even when you're in remote, unfamiliar locations. They can also be used at home or when you're traveling, allowing you to get a better value out of your purchase.

Top 5 camping coffee makers

It features a polished stainless steel exterior, comfortable handle, tightfitting lid, permanent filter basket, pump tube, and a nonreactive interior that prevents water from absorbing any odors or flavors.

Coleman Camping Coffee Maker

Amazon’s Choice for camping coffee makers, the Coleman Camping Coffee Maker brews a full pot of coffee in about 10 minutes, and can also be used for making tea or hot chocolate. The drip coffee maker filters out all grounds and can make up to 10 cups of coffee without an electrical outlet. That's because it can sit over most camp stove burners and draw the heat it needs to brew the coffee. It features an easy-fill reservoir, swing-out filter basket, solid steel base, and an easy-pour decanter. The Pause ‘N Serve feature allows you to pause the brewing so you can pour the first cup as soon as it has brewed.

This comes from the trusted Coleman brand and has hundreds of five-star reviews on Amazon. It is also frequently recommended online.

This is dishwasher safe, durable, and easy to use. It’s recommended by OutdoorGearLab and is one of the "Most Wished For" and top gift ideas on Amazon.
