[at-l] car camping coffee

[chaynes@megalink.net (Clifford R. Haynes)]

Hmm 2 cups, well I suppose that would get me by till 9am coffee break( if I
was roughin it). My personal choice is the old aluminum percolator with wire
bail and handle. For backpacking I use a 4 cup ( almost impossible to find
with bail), for backpackin with a one or 2 other folks its the old 8 cup.
Backpackin the percolator basket stays home, but canoeing, car  campin or
motel livin the basket comes along, after all coffee tastes twice as good if
you smelled it perkin.
But usually backpackin I only drink coffee in the morning, the rest of the
day I prefer tea ( Earl Gray when um feelin plush, and  good old "Red Red
Red Rose bulk tea when um feelin pooah). The strainer in the spout of the
coffee pot is a passable tea strainer.
