Been thinking that I need a grinder to get fresh ground coffee while hiking as the season is starting. Still using old pre-ground from last year and it os not that good. Does the job and is better than the slush at work.
So I think I’ll need to get me a hiking grinder. And has to grind coarse as in the field i make kokkaffe (boilcoffee?). Or really fine to do something more akin to turkish coffee.
1zpresso released the J-ultra a few months ago, which is just a J-max with slightly smaller adjustments and something like a 1/6th lighter. It’s highly regarded for espresso and does a great job for filter coffee. But it definitely creates more fines than a grinder specifically for filter coffee, so heads up there.
If you’re already carrying water, why not just carry hot coffee in a thermos?
Because it is cozy brewing by the crackling fire. My demands on the coffee at that point are low just that it feels like coffee. And it is a ritual - get to camp, start fire, brew coffe, drink coffe staring into the flames trying to divine the future.
I experimented with re-grinding old grounds to try and expose flavor compounds that hadn’t evaporated or oxidized yet.
It did work to improve the taste a little, but it certainly didn’t turn my old grounds into superstars.
