This holiday season is the perfect time to indulge the coffee-loving outdoor enthusiast in your life with a few upgraded brewing tools for those who refuse to compromise their coffee consumption away from home.

For the outdoor enthusiasts who take their coffee kit as seriously as any other piece of gear in their loadout, bad coffee is never an option. From all-in-one compact brewing kits to precision manual burr grinders, and tumblers tailored for campsites and road trips, these coffee-focused gifts, available at varying price points, can elevate every morning without sacrificing caffeine cravings.

Brew Anywhere With These Portable Coffee Kits

AeroPress Clear Coffee Maker - $49.95

AeroPress is one of the most reliable ways to feed into your caffeine consumption on the go. It’s lightweight, and one of the most minimal solutions that can be taken on backpacking trips, or stay with your overlanding gear. It’s an extremely popular product for both home and outdoor use. There is even a World Aeropress Championship that is a global coffee-making competition centered around this single product. 

Fellow Prismo Attachment for Aeropress - $24.95

Pairing with the highly portable Aeropress, the smallest upgrade with the biggest impact is the Fellow Prismo Attachment. It utilizes a stainless steel screen, replacing the cumbersome paper filters that come standard with any Aeropress kit. The Prismo is a pressure-actuated valve designed to be used with the AeroPress Coffee Maker. This attachment allows for a build-up of pressure to brew espresso-style coffee and creates a no-drip seal for recipes that normally require inverting your AeroPress.

Yeti Rambler Pour Over - $30.00

If you are a pour over enthusiast and can’t get enough of your Hario V60 coffee dripper at home, the Yeti Rambler Pour Over would be your perfect on-the-go companion, offering a more durable solution than a traditional coffee dripper made from ceramic or glass. The Yeti Rambler Pour Over is made with kitchen-grade 18/8 stainless steel and features a double-wall insulation construction, aimed to keep your coffee hot during brewing. Don’t worry, you won’t have to buy different size filters either, as it’s designed to fit V60 size 02 conical filters.

VSSL Nest Pour Over Kit - $80.00 

VSSL is well-known for their premium and reliable coffee products that pair perfectly for travel, overlanding, and any other outdoor activity. The Nest Pour Over Coffee Kit is a 5-piece kit that assembles into one compact brewing unit, to deliver consistent pour-over drip coffee anywhere you desire. Uniquely engineered, the kit consists of two 10oz mugs, one splash proof lid, a pour-over dripper, and a nesting storage connector that allows the system to be compatible with VSSL’s Java G25 Grinder. An all-in-one solution made from highly durable stainless steel, this would be a fantastic upgrade for any coffee enthusiast.

VSSL Java G25 Coffee Grinder - $165.00

If you’re investing in the VSSL product line, pairing the Nest Pour Over Kit with the compatible Java G25 Coffee Grinder makes perfect sense, though it does come at a premium price. At this higher price point, VSSL has spared no expense in ensuring their product is crafted with the best possible materials.

Instead of using ceramic burrs found in the majority of entry-level manual grinders, the Java G25 features far superior 420 stainless steel conical burrs and dual bearings to deliver exceptional grind consistency. With 50 grind settings, dialing in your next cup of coffee is a breeze, no matter your preferred brewing method.

Drinkware That Goes The Distance

Yeti Rambler 16oz Stackable Cup - $25.00

Nestling together perfectly, the Yeti Ramble 16oz Stackable Cup is a travel essential for those looking to save space and pack camp mugs neatly into their kits. When it comes to drinkware lids, Yeti’s Magslider is hard to beat. It is easy to clean and a reliable way to seal your beverage without overcomplicating the design.

KINTO To Go Tumbler - $44.60

KINTO has long been a trendsetter in the kitchen and drinkware space, known for their clean, minimal design approach. The To Go Tumbler is no exception, blending seamlessly into life at home or coming along on your next adventure. The tumbler is vacuum-insulated and features a matte texture with a tapered form for easy carrying.

Where Great Camp Coffee Starts: Kettles and Boiler Pots

GSI Outdoors Halulite Boiler Pot - $49.95

In most cases, you don’t need a separate kettle for your morning coffee. A simple boiling pot with a pouring edge is often the most versatile cookware for the outdoors. GSI’s Halulite Boiler Pot is a great example, versatile enough to reconstitute dehydrated meals, sear small portions of meat, and heat and pour water for your morning brew. It’s also just large enough to store a fuel canister and a backpacking stove inside.

Snow Peak Field Barista Kettle - $139.95

For coffee lovers who already have their brewing kit dialed in, an upgraded stainless steel kettle can be the perfect finishing touch. The Snow Peak Field Barista Kettle embodies the brand’s signature style and performance, delivering precise water flow for your pour-over coffee or team from home to the backcountry. Pair it with your favorite camp burner for a well-built, reliable addition to your setup.
