I always felt like the home machines didn't really get the water hot enough to make a good cup of coffee. This way gives you a lot of control over the process. Thanks for sharing Mark.
I have heard that as well. Thanks for commenting Steve
That is very cool! I'm not a K-Cup person, but when I travel they're often available in hotels.
I am not a k-cup person myself but they can be convenient at times. Thanks for commenting
Love a peaceful seat with a veiw and coffee.
So enjoyable. Thanks for commenting
G'day Mark, well explained/demo-ed mate. What I like about it is, as accessory it doesn't disrupt the original design, i.e. simply remove it and you're back to normal operation. So its great for alternating between pods and grounds without major reconfiguration. Cheers Duke.
Precisely Duke. Easy on, easy off. Thanks for commenting
After a few years of using my Aeropress regularly, the bottom went missing last week. This product looks to be an interesting opportunity. Thank you.
Interesting reason for buying one. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I’m always willing to try new products and hopefully the buying experience will be straightforward.
I, like you, have upgraded to a metal filter. When I made that purchase, I was amazed at the many variations available in terms of the size of the pore openings. My advice to anyone making the transition is to explore the different options to get one that makes the coffee you like.
However, my favorite upgrade to the AeroPress has been a “flow control” filter cap. Prior to getting one, I always used the inverted brewing method. The new filter cap gives me all of the advantages of the inverted method without the balancing act that goes with it.
I would love to try the flow-control cap. Was not sure if it was worth the cost. Time to reconsider. Thanks for commenting
Howdy from California, Mark!
The Aeropress clear with the valve cap and steel filter is my daily brew. I used to brew inverted because the standard cap would always turn into a drip brewer for me, and the valve cap allows me to do the same recipe with a lower center of gravity. I used to borrow a community K-cup machine by Cuisinart that accepted the official BYO grounds adapter, and that made some darn tasty coffee.
At first I thought, why would I bother with this thing? I don't drink Keurig or Nespresso. But if you think about the convenience, you don't need to bring a grinder or pre-ground beans in a bag, just bring some K-cups and this gadget and you're golden. There's a local shop that sold a very similar allegedly compostable K-cup compatible pods (Trader Joe's French Roast), not sure if they still sell them.
The only thing I dislike about K-cups is, they're much more expensive per cup of coffee compared to whole beans. I wonder if 3rd party "refillable" pods would work in this device?
The great thing about the AeroPress is its versatility. I will be buying some re-usable k-cups to try in this device. Thanks for commenting
The K-Cup adapter looks convenient. I picked up the mesh filter and it's nice to not need paper filters.
For backpacking, I might pick up 'hanging ear' style pour over bags. I'm a fan of Vietnamese coffee packets that use the 'hanging ear' bags. There's packs of 50 on Amazon and I'm thinking of filling my own bags for trips.
I need to buy some of those. I have tried empty tea bags but they don't work so well. Thanks for commenting
Thanks for sharing, I was still deciding on the regular or XLsize aeropress. This is an awesome addition for sure. Enjoyed the video.Thanks.
Glad I could help. Thanks for commenting
Love Rampage coffee… great video
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for commenting
That's a pretty cool new way to enjoy good coffee in the woods, sure beats my instant Nescrappy...lol 🤪👍 Thanks for sharing, take care my friend and Cheers!
There is a whole world of great tasting coffee for you to explore😉 Thanks for commenting
I like it, been thinking about getting an aeropress and this would certainly be convenient. As for reusable k-cups , CT has a 4 pack for $20 , pretty much the same size and holds a good amount of coffee.
I will take a look at CanTire. Thanks for commenting
Interesting Design Shared Fairly Priced & Thanks For Your Demo & Thoughts Mark ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks for commenting Terry
I love your channel so please don’t take this as a personal criticism but I pretty much disagree with most of your points about this product. 😊
- K-cup coffee is usually borderline stale and doesn’t come close to what I get from my local roaster. Why would I disrespect my Aeropress using it to make a k-cup? If you prefer a particular coffee that comes in a k-cup just open it and dump it in.
- There’s absolutely zero wrong with digging a cat hole for coffee grounds (and an unbleached paper filter if you don’t use a reusable one). If you’re hiking in an area where you have to carry out your human waste then fine, carry out your grounds too but these are just dried and cooked plant seeds.
- I’d rather carry a ziplock of coffee over k-cups for volume, weight is minor but still there.
At the end of the day, if someone likes this product and enjoys using it then by all means go for it! Geting out, having fun and enjoying a coffee is the most important part!!! ❤
Mark has mentioned many times that he is a proponent of “leave no trace” and that adding coffee grounds to the environment is still leaving a trace. Sure it is organic material, but it wouldn’t have been there if you didn’t bring it, so you shouldn’t leave it behind. Doing it once may not have much impact but if everyone does it you start potentially negatively impacting the environment.
Take that as you will, but that’s his position on it as Mark has espoused previously
No argument from me on k-cups. I agree most are stale. The exception I found is the Rampage which is fresh roasted and high quality. As far as leaving the grounds behind, I follow the Leave No Trace philosophy. It is true coffee grounds will compost eventually but it is a foreign material that will change the environment. It is also true that a small amount won't make much different but it add up if everyone does it each time they go out. The guideline I use is "if it didn't originate there, take it home". Thanks for commenting
Slowly pressing, beginning to have the shakes, a slight rampage beginning to build, finally getting to the bottom, that first sip, a calm begins to form.....nice. 😉😘 Very cool adapter. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
So dramatic😆 Thanks for commenting
Just more parts to deal with. Also maybe a little less stable when pressing. Fresh ground Rampage in the ol' AeroPress does fine for me. Don't see much if any advantage.
I agree, for most, this is not necessary but some my find it convenient. Thanks for commenting
What a smart looking hat! Have you made a video discussing the specs of the black hat you are wearing?
It is an older model wool Tilley winter hat. I do have a review of my Tilley hats. Thanks for commenting
Mark … Excellent video as usual. You have inspired me to reach out to Rampage. I drink 1-2 cups of coffee a month only because I am keto/carnivore, dropping weight, and I drink my coffee with a teaspoon of sugar and non-dairy creamer. I want to see if Rampage exceeds the flavor of my current coffee of choice. Anyways, you are a prince of a fella, I enjoy your videos immensely, and you are a treasured UA-cam influencer!!! God bless you and yours!!! Chuck Knight from Atascocita, Texas, USA. 😵💫👨🌾😉
HI Chuck. Let me know if Rampage is able to ship to you. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Will do, Mark, will do!!! God bless!!! Chuck. 👨🌾
As I've said before, I have an out-of-production Bodum pour-over made of plastic with a nylon mesh. Ultralight and great. But one problem is it doesn't fit over my Evernew cup. My solution was to make an adapter via a plastic lid (off a tub of Coconut Oil) with a hole cut in it. Lid goes over the cup, Bodum goes into the hole. Perfection.
Would love to find one of those Bodum devices. Thanks for commenting
Interesting addition to the Aeropress arsenal. It could be handy for travelers staying in hotels that provide k-cups who want better control over their brew. BTW, what is the product you are using as a ground protector under the wood stove in the video? Cheers!
Yes, exactly. I am using a fiberglass ground protector I found on Amazon. They come in different sizes. Thanks for commenting
The hat you are wearing, I would like know more about it. It looks warm and more suited to colder weather in Nova Scotia and perhaps here in Alberta. Thanks
It is an old version of a wool Tilley hat. Tilley still makes them but they are a bit different. I have a review if interested. Thanks for commenting
Yes I would like the Review, most likely one of your videos, the brim does not look to large it appears more like the small cotton version but in Wool. In the winter or cooler times here in Alberta a large brim would be lost in the wind. A Bucket Hat would work well but have not seen any thing like that in Wool. As a BTW I find I like my khukuri as opposed to my Dad's Hatchet or a large SAX style knife for camp chores. and if you ask just cuz. hard to change a grumpy old (82) man. I even have a Ross Rifle that works, again just cuz. no I do not hunt any more, far too many gun nuts and anti-gun nuts in Alberta, just keep a low profile. Ha Ha
I have tried working with a khukuri and did not get along well with it. I mau need to give it another go. Thanks for commenting
Makes a convenient way to take along your coffee on your hikes and easy enough to make.
On another note, how is your friend Mike doing?
Thanks for asking about Mike. I have not heard from him so your prompt is appreciated
@@MarkYoungBushcraft any update is appreciated.
I've noticed that the Keurig machines can make up to a 12oz cup of coffee with one pod. Seems like a waste to blow a whole pod on a single cup. Can you refill the chamber to get a second cup out of the pod?
You probably could. I did not experiment with that as I felt the second cup would be too weak. Thanks for commenting
I want the Areo press XL.
Oh yes, More coffee in every press. Thanks for commenting
have you tried coffee bags ? or even re-uasable coffee bags ?
Yes, I have tried a few commercial ones but have not been impressed. I do plan on making a couple of cotton reusable ones. If they work out I will make a video on them. Thanks for commenting
How long does it take really for coffee grinds to degrade on the ground?
I believe Mark's concern is that coffee grounds are not part of the natural environment, and they may have adverse affects. The amount of impact is arguable. However, I've heard that burying bathroom tissue can be harmful, too. The leave no trace principle is probably a good one to be safe, especially in areas that have many visitors.
It is not a matter of time as it will eventually compost. It is more a matter of coffee being a foreign material that can have an impact on the ecosystem. Granted, a small impact but they add up. Best practise is to try and take home as much as reasonable to minimize the impact. Thanks for commenting
Now if you would find carb-free Timbits that taste as good as the coffee, we would be all set in the woods. 🙂
Carb-free Tim Bits....hmmm... I'll work on it. Thanks for commenting John
K. I. S. S.
Yes, this is a bit of a complicating device. Thanks for commenting
Why is it a problem to dispose of a bit of coffe grounds in the woods? They are biodegradeable and not harmful to the soil.
It is true coffee grounds will compost eventually but it is a foreign material that will change the environment. It is also true that a small amount won't make much different but it add up if everyone does it each time they go out. The guideline I use is "if it didn't originate there, take it home". Thanks for commenting
Do you also take home the bits of charcoal and ashes after you make a fire to heat your water?
@@jbrubaker9399The wood I burn is from the woods I burn it in. It belongs there. I am not sure why you want to argue. I explained why I take the coffee grounds home.
I don't want to argue with you. I simply want to point out that the "leave no trace" philosophy can go too far. I actually watch and appreciate most of your content.
@@jbrubaker9399 Thank you. I understand what you are saying about LNT. I will likely make a video on LNT and Bushcraft to discuss where they are compatible and where they are at odds
