Great Camping Meals & Road Trip Food Ideas

Essentially aeropress is a large coffee syringe that makes smooth, filtered coffee.You can buy the whole kit (aeropress, grinder, paper filters) online and from many hipster coffee shops. It’s about $100 for the whole lot and you will need to buy special ‘filter’ coffee beans from cafes but it’s totally worth it.

You will use it over and over again – you can bring it to hotels when travelling or keep it in the office. Once you have the kit and the coffee beans, all you will need is boiled water and a cup, which you can find almost anywhere. In most countries a bag of coffee beans for aeropress is about 10-15 Euro a bag and will make about 20-25 cups of coffee. An easier alternative is a coffee percolator and pre-ground coffee you can brew on a stove. Brisbane to Cairns Experience.
