- A look at some coffee brewing methods while out and about in the woods.
Handpresso, Minipresso, Aeropress and Bialetti Moka Express.
Note: On the handpresso, I pumped it up again before adding the coffee...I forgot to mention.
Nice review - try the Moka pot with pre boiled water next time and see how this works. I find it gets up to pressure quicker and produces a better taste.
Brilliant! Love the ending...very funny! Thanks for sharing :-)
I love my Aeropress! I use an Aeropress every morning and have learnt that if you don't follow the makers instructions (I use three scoops of a medium grind) and use a metal filter (from Abel), I get a delicious full flavoured coffee with crema that's suitable for latte every morning. Of course, it's all dependent on the quality and flavour of the beans you use but it's the closest thing I've found to proper cafe made coffee I've found so far
Why using Aeropress instead of Moka pot?
What are the advantages?

It's nice to see a video about my favorite custom of making a good coffee with great presentation and clear outcomes for each device. Probably I will go with this one which gives the sense of creame as well. Greetings from Greece!
Exactly the video I needed! Thank you! My wife and I camp regularly have been making coffee for years with a Moka-style espresso maker. I was considering one of the newer pump machines - but you reaffirmed my belief in our old Moka espresso maker. It really is the best solution for us.
And... I nearly spit coffee all over my keyboard when I got to the ending ROFL
Great video!
I'd agree with you in that the Moka pot is better than the other options, that and the Aeropress. Thanks for your comment!
Oh, little tip for those who like cinnamon coffee, especially for latte, when using a stovetop, put a spoonful of ground cinnamon in first then put coffee grind on top when making, do not put it in after the coffee as the fine ground cinnamon can block the filter a bit. Wonderful smell too when it's brewing!
I made Turkish coffee up in the woods, so nice
The end sequence answered the question I was considering starting after the second cup of espresso ... love it. I use a French press at home and not long ago bought my second GSI camping press, having stored my first one away so effectively I couldn't find it.
Great video; I use the Aeropress and recently started using the metal filters. In 90secs I get a great cup of coffee. Clean up is quick, everything stored away in the travel bag, and being plastic it's light weight and I didn't break the bank when I purchased it.
Great video. Quality coffee out bush is one of lifes simple pleasures 👍and the end of the video had me in stitches. Subbed 👌
Thanks man! Glad you like it.
Great reviews. From one coffee guy to another, I am glad to see how well these work.
Thanks brother
The moka is what almost all the italian families have at home. It is part of the standard home kit. Interesting video. Ciao!
With a moka pot try preheating the water chamber and using boiling water in the chamber. It means that your grounds are being heated for a lot shorter duration resulting in a much less bitter brew. I tend to use that frequently but the aeropress wins it for me, it has the most flavourful brew and absolutely no grounds or grit left in your cup so you can enjoy it to the last drop 👌
Found that last bit of running around very apt for the amount of espresso you had
Rumor is Donnie is still roaming the woods walking like Marvin the Martian...🤔
I know this is an old video but still a valid test. Thanks for the test. I have been looking for a better way to make my long blacks in the bush and I am leaning towards a Moka Pot.
As long as fresh coffee and clean water, it should be fine for me. Yes I know 'no crema' but mine gets watered down for a full cup of double shot so should be good, cheers Donny.
Sounds good!
Like the look of the Moka Express, not as pricey as I thought they would be.... thanks for sharing, ATB
Hi Donny.....now I must say I've never been a coffee making man but your video here extols the virtues of doing so. Some great bits of kit here. I admire your patience for the whole review. ATB Mark.
I am a wild woodland camper and never thought about going to the woods just for a coffee 😂😂 but why not might do it one day
Glad I'm not the only one that brings a burr grinder and aeropress on backpacking trips haha. If you get the chance, you should check out Kalita Kantan drippers. They are these awesome single-use foldable pour over vessels that are super light and great for backcountry. Cheers!
I use that Moka Express... but after I pour it, I add some water into to top and in a few seconds it warms up nicely. Then I add this water to my mug to make the perfect cup of brew.
Great tips for coffee making out in the great outdoors! Thanks for sharing. On a side note, when tasting various coffee types or brands, you should do like tasting wine, otherwise you won't sleep for a week.
Great video. I make either coffee or tea each trip into my local woods as well. I have a mini 1 cup percolator, a 1 cup "flip and drip" Neapolitan coffee maker and a 1 cup Bialetti Moka pot. Great fun making up a brew in the woods. Gonna get a larger 3 cup Bialatti as well. (Have a large one for home use)
They rock. Got a huge 12 (or is it 16....?) cup stovetop one I bought in a market while in Italy, ideal for happy caffeine overdosing. 😉 phenomenal smell you get from them while its percolating through. Btw if you're looking for a really smooth coffee I recommend lavazza crema e gusto, gusto dolce. Not widely available in the UK but can be found if you hunt for it, it's a packet with a pink at the top, not the more widely available red topped packet.
Lavazza Qualita Oro is also A+ in my view
Dude. Thanks for making this. Didn't even occur to me to take a moka pot. Worth it!
Excellent review, very informative!
Just found your awesome channel and subbed.
Really looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for sharing,
Atb.
Steve. 👍👍
Cheers Steve!
I really enjoyed your video. I have an aeropress but I didn't know about the handpresso
talk about reinventing the wheel lol. All the pumping devices. Can't beat a traditional espresso maker
A special for all the coffee lover Donny, yes that's the comfort in the woods:-) thanks for this video my friend, wish you a great week, Taro
Fantastic ending to a great video. I use my Aeropress every day and my stovetop espresso maker pretty frequently.
FOR COFFEE LOVERS, the day doesn't just begin with a good, hot cup of coffee-it seems almost impossible without it. It's not only the dose of caffeine that does the trick, although that does help. It's also the ritual that surrounds it-the smell, the sound, even the wait are all a part of how coffee gets the day started right.
Well done, and nice touch of humor at the end.
Hey Donny, the handle bottom of the espresso pump (the football pump one) is the right size to tamp down on the coffee grounds. I don't know if the makers jagged it that size or if it was by design. :) Thanks for the video. I was leaning toward the last coffee maker but you've provide some food...sorry coffee for thought. luved the hyperness at the end :)
Great vid...you make an Aeropress the same as i do. However I think you can make a more espresso like product (for flat whites ect) if you use less water and press harder!
i was confused by this...not really comparing espresso to espresso. there are many vids out there describing how to make espresso with the aeropress.
What a great comparison.. I own two of the four styles shown... excellent.
Crazy brother ! Vc não deixa dúvidas sobre os varios modelos de cafeteiras portáteis 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 parabéns ‼️

Benny Hill at the end of this video.
Lovely video.Beautifully done mate.
Vielen Dank. Nützliches Video, jetzt weiß ich, welche Tool zu mir passen.
Great reviews. I use a 2cup or 6 cup Moka pot, Stanley Press but still love my cowboy coffee the best. ATB2U - Stan
Well now I've read cowboy coffee twice so I had to go make some. Hey, I loved it!
I never tried doing the aero press upsidedown and then screwing the cap on. I will try it like that next time I am home
Nice little tea pot.
Late to the party with this video mate but great to see them compared. I am a fan of the moka pot, indoors and out.
Excellent review mate! Thanks so much!
I have used spice bags and ground coffee and steep the bag for about 2 min. Makes a good cup of joe and I reuse the spice bag to save a bit of coin.
Nice overview, but what about ease of cleaning between the lot?
I was given a new BioLite stove last week and I was wondering which kind of coffee machine would be best to pack with it. Looks like I'm going to go pick up an Aeropress next - I'm Italian, and I use a bialetti daily already, I'd like something closer to an Americano when I'm out and about. I love your video, thanks for the info. :-)
It was worth hanging around to the end for the after coffee effects ☕🙃☺ Another way to make your moka pot is to pre-heat the water, assemble the pot and put it on the heat to finish it off. I find the coffee tastes a little less 'burnt' . Give it a try. 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome video and hilarious ending!
I do like my coffee, well Cappuccinos really, I miss em when I'm out camping. As far as I know there isn't a portable Cappuccino maker with milk frother out there on the market as yet, shame, ha, ha. If you ever hear of anything like one do let us know eh Donny, thanks.
It's not quite the same, however you can get a milk frother. It's a steel jug with a lid that has a plunger inside on the other end of the plunger there's a sort of whisk that you plunge up and down to make a froth for your coffee, I'll try to find a link.

+Alex Arcano I actually recommend this too! In fact my first ever coffee maker was the Bialetti Moka pot, and I got this very milk frother to go with it. I made very nice cappuccinos with this setup!
+Alex Arcano Thanks.
Great video!
Awesome video mate. Good to see them all side by side. I've been eyeing off that MiniPresso because of the amazing crema it produces. Only just realised I wasn't subbed to your channel too. What an oversight! Fixed that now. Take care buddy.
HikeordieTV Thanks bud, well I thought I was subbed to you, but I wasn't either...but am now.
Hahaha, I don't feel quite so bad now.
HikeordieTV haha
I just put grounds in the water, bring to boil, remove after a minute or two. Sip and sift the coffee grounds through my teeth. ;) Good old cowboy coffee. I feel like an animal after watching this. Great video and i loved the end.
The aeropress inventors demo shows it with putting the filter disk in and resting the flange on the cup. Put a little hot water in because the wet filter is easier to press the coffee through. Put the scoop of coffee in about to the 2 mark and let it sit for 30 seconds or so. Stir. Add water to the 4 mark. Steep for 2 minutes and press. The cylinder isn’t long enough to get a 12 oz cup if you don’t do the first water up to the 2 mark.
Nice video! I used a Moka pot for years but have swapped to the aeropress. The question you haven't addressed, though, is ease of cleaning. On a week-long backcountry trip in bear country, you need to be particularly careful with your clean-up, which is why the aeropress is the clear best for me purposes.
With the Moka pot, I found I often needed to scrap out the inside of the chamber to get the last of the grounds out; how do the hand-pump models compare for ease of cleaning?
Nothing beats the Aeropress for ease of use and cleaning, totally agree.
I'm a wildland firefighter, and can spend up to two weeks in the woods at a time fighting a wildfire (or forest fire), my primary coffee maker is the aeropress due to the ease of cleaning and how fast you can whip up a batch of coffee.
But watching this video, I can't ignore the beautiful crema of the minipresso. Might have to try it. Like the fact that you wont have to buy paper filters, and you can always add hot water to make it into an "americano" or more like a regular cup o' joe.
Not too big a fan of french press, but they make some packable french presses. Also Pour over could be something to use in the woods too, just need a gooseneck kettle along with your camp stove!
Either way, invest in a good hand burr grinder. It's hard keeping pre-ground coffee fresh in your pack, and if it spills out, it's harder to clean than beans. Plus you can regather the beans and put them back in your pack. The grounds will be wasted being that more than likely the grounds will be shaken out and not as retrievable as beans.
Great video!
Matthew Garcia I use an Aeropress, and with a metal filter (from Abel) get a nice crema most mornings! Aeropress isn't limited to how much grounds you can fit in the chamber like the others either
Great video, impelling. I was totally there.
Good video! Impressive beard mate!! Another easier way to do coffee is carry a tea strainer and just ground coffee! Put coffee in strainer then just poor water through into cup perfect coffee every time try it!! Cheers!
Hahaha the end is funny, I was thinking "After that many shots of espresso I would be going crazy, how is he not shaking?" haha great video thanks!
good beans nice foam
LOL!!! good one bud! LOL! i got a nifty little thing made by GSI you put on a nalgene 32 oz bottle and you got 2 ways to make the coffee! put the coffee in the screen or in the bottle! then you let it sit! LOL! i like the messy way better! i think it the coffee turns out better. the coffee is loose and free! compared to being cooped up in the screen!
My first video of your. I like it. New subscriber!
Lol. Hyper donnyoutdoors.
Haven't tried these outdoors but I always use a stovetop at home, as stated, excellent for latte. Or Irish. 😀
Perfect comparison man, thanks! :)
As far as the Aeropress, you've basically produced an Americano. To properly compare the Aeropress, use the classic, documented instructions. You'll produce a more espresso-like shot. Great either way.
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing the use on all those coffee makers. Have you ever tried the press cups like the GSI french press?
+Living Survival I've not tried them yet, have you?
as you know i love my coffee , some interesting ways of making it in the field. atb Rob
All great, but which one do you recommend and why? What are the main differences beyond what can be seen on the video?
the ending though 😂🤣😂🤣 ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Excelente video, subscribed.
Sounds like your handpresso is done for. As said it should take about 20sec to brew one cup and i assure you it produces the best coffee of all of them when you got the right grind and a handpresso that is not damaged.
I would hope it is just a seal you can replace on the handpresso.
Jakelol1980 my Handpresso also takes a lot longer than what was shown in the video, and it also makes a good crema.
Nice review and love the ending!
Most of the posts are from years ago. I've only tried the Moka pots, the small one and the 3 cup size. The small one gives you about 50 ml of coffee. The 3 cup does not give you three cups. It will give you 100 ml of coffee. I guess if you're making espresso it will give you 2 cups. The downside of the Moka pots is that it takes several minutes for the pot to cool down.
Great video
kinda half-assing most methods. for the handpresso, you get the best shot w/ the 3-tamp method (fill to peaked, tamp, peak again, tamp, then peak and tamp flat); couldnt say about the minipresso, but can imagine a better shot w/ similar tamping. the aeropress is an infinitely adjustable method, but longer steep (2 min) and longer extraction (1 min) gets more efficient results, regardless of grounds to water ratios. cool range of methods, tho.
great video production
Brillant ending, I don't think the foam from the minipresso is crema, I think the device has a "crema enhancer". I can't see how you can get the pressure required for it. I might be wrong though.
Great ad---smoothly doneDoes it do de caf?
And he leaves al hopped up on caffeine! LOL! :-)
AeroPress for me everytime!
Thanks for the info my friend!
My pleasure 😀
Nice video mate
I boil the water add the the grains no filter and through cold water in it and its grain free and smooth
All that effort and pumping for a thimble of decent coffee...
A pour over would be better for a full cup.
I love my aeropress so simple and versatile
Thanks for sharing.
Whats you opinion on the Porta Presso?
Great video.. Thanks bro
no Cafflano? That's what we carry. Hand drip with an integrated ceramic mill grinder!
Getting ASMR with this video. Love it. Well crafted and informative
but the all important question is which is the best one?
Marcus Denning I say the Moka pot
Lol.. He was gone off the coffee !!😂
LOL @ the end!
Stanley makes a french press thermos that doubles as a tumbler.
Espro and Planetary Designs also do that. Espro's filter and Planetary Design's extra chamber and handle distinguish them.
That ending tho, gotta love it
Have you tried the Bialetti Brikka? I'm curious if I get a moka, I'll regret not getting the Brikka . . although I don't know how much coffee it requires.
because88 It's not one I've tried yet.
You can tamp with the end of the handpresso.
I thought you people only drank tea. Lol jk. Thanks for the video. At home I prefer a French press
This is so cool....
Hot water in the moka pot, this method produces very bitter coffee. Simply boil first, then pour into your moka pot.
funny video :-) . thanks buddy .
+donnyOutdoors nice video and good presenter, i am sure coffee taste great at this place, only one problem the sound recording was bad and noisy, specially near the airport. please use neck mic with wind protection, thank you
Was it really that bad, I don't think so. But, yeah, my lav mic should get used more, cheers 👍
thank you for sharing the video
