The 6 Best Camping Coffee Makers of 2022
By: Jen Streby: Camp Buyer | June 13, 2022
When it comes to “roughing it” everyone has their own definition of what makes for a true camping experience. Some folks bring along a wall tent and a cot, while others are comfortable with an ultralight pad and a quilt. But one thing that we can all agree on is the importance of camp coffee, an essential on the camping pack list. There’s nothing better than waking up in the woods and brewing a great cup of joe as you revel in the beauty of nature. It just adds to the experience and ensures that you’ll have the necessary energy to go about your day.
New This Year:
And every option on this list can make that happen. These are the best camping coffee makers after all. But, every option goes about brewing that cup of coffee in slightly different ways, and it’s up to you to figure out what makes the most sense for you and your camping style. This list includes everything from ultralight options to more fully-featured coffee makers with a bigger capacity. And there’s no wrong answer, there’s just an answer that makes the most sense, for you. So, next time you pack for a camping trip, don’t forget to bring your new camping coffee maker.

Jen Streby
Hi! My name is Jen, and I grew up loving the outdoors, traveling to our family cabin every summer in Michigan where I got to spend time in lakes, rivers, and the woods. I grew apart from that as I traveled throughout the U.S. searching for what I call home until I moved to Utah in 2008 and became an avid backpacker and river rafter. From then on, it’s been a passion I seek out when the weather is a bit warmer here in the PNW.
I now call Washington home and have been here for 6 years. I started working for evo 2 days after my move up from Portland and have loved every minute of it. I’ve been a buyer for a couple of categories and then was tasked with bringing on our camp category several years ago. It’s been a wild ride and I’m stoked to be able to share my love for the outdoors with all our evo family.
