The Essentials

Four pieces that cover most mornings: brew, grind, pour, drink.

The Essentials is our short list for building a camp coffee kit from scratch. The Heritage stainless percolator brews 6 or 9 cups over a fire or camp stove. The 1 L stainless French press makes a full-bodied cup with no paper filters. The induction-ready stovetop moka pot makes strong, espresso-style coffee on a burner. The classic 12 oz enamel mug is made to sit by the fire.

Pick the brewer that matches how you cook: a campfire or two-burner stove suits the percolator, while a single canister stove suits the press or moka pot. Then add a mug for each person on the trip.
