I have a french press that folds to fit into a widemouth nalgene bottle... definitely the best camping coffee I've ever had.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09632656432532512072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-78958254134725491412010-04-08T20:38:55.617-05:002010-04-08T20:38:55.617-05:00Everybody-I like Keen Sandals and I'm sure I&#...Everybody-I like Keen Sandals and I'm sure I'll end up buying a pair before the summer is over. The thing that bothers me about sandals is sweaty feet and when grit gets between your foot and the insole, that drives me crazy.<br /><br />I picked up some whole bean coffee from Addison Coffee Roasters. They from Addison, Texas (Dallas area) and they roast some pretty good coffee. I'm going to give the press a try. Nathan, thanks for the link to the video. It was just what I was looking for.Rat Trap Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123315525301010775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-79571026133056758882010-04-08T19:37:47.315-05:002010-04-08T19:37:47.315-05:00Huh...missed the coffee press.

I have also been known to drag a hand held coffee grinder along too.

Some people have a kneejerk reaction against it, but I've tried it a few times recently, and it really worked quite well.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-71761702182925871552010-04-07T11:35:40.693-05:002010-04-07T11:35:40.693-05:00you're riding in style myles! make sure you st...you're riding in style myles! make sure you stir the grounds in the french press about a minute into the steeping (and use a coarse grind). <br /><br />here's a vid that could help from some west coast coffee guru's:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7AREKxkiRw&feature=channel_page<br /><br />nathanfridaycyclotouristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11962002406426213576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-33657477075156694972010-04-06T21:48:25.492-05:002010-04-06T21:48:25.492-05:00Okay, that's it, you're ready.

Lighter socks in the summer, heavier wool socks in the winter. He even has green socks for St. Patrick's day! That French press looks very useful, albeit intimidating. I've never used one either.
