GSI JavaPress backpacking the Adirondaks-Cranberry Lake, Wanakena, NY - WeDoCampstoves









WeDoCampstoves loves our Campstoves and Camp Gadgets, but we also love to Backpack... this Summer was no exception as we made our way to the little town of Wanakena, New York situated on Cranberry Lake for a two night, three day, twenty miles and lots of fun. And, don't forget... the GSI Java Press for our morning coffee!

The hike into the Janak's Landing leanto was great as it was a warm August afternoon. We enjoyed nice weather and awesome sites like this Loon on the water as we made our way into the wilderness.

If you've never been there, Janak's Landing is a super nice camping site that is right on the edge of Cranberry Lake. The lean-to is back away from the water, but a nice clearing is directly on the edge of the lake. That's the site we chose to spend the first night.






The night was chilly, but the coolness felt great and allowed for a restfull sleep. It is always great to spend a cozy night in your down sleeping bag inside a dry tent. Sharing that coziness with a sleeping partner?... That's even better... Nothing beats it! Except, maybe, when you get out of your tent in the chilly, early morning and decide to make that morning cup of coffee. Now this is when the GSI Java Press is gonna come in handy. Get the water boiling and get your freshly ground coffee and Java Press out of your backpack... We're gonna have a great cup of coffee!

We carried the 30 ounce JavaPress with us on this trip. It is the right size for making coffee for two or more backpackers. Just add your coffee, pour the boiling water and then allow the ground coffee to work its magic. Three to five minutes is all that's needed for great tasting, freshly brewed coffee. Here's the gear we used to make our morning coffee...




















... and here's the Java Press with the coffee and the hot water. Allow the grounds to mix with the hot water. When you're ready to drink, simply separate the grounds from the water by gently pressing down on the plunger. This pushed the grounds to the bottom of the press's container allowing you to pour a robust cup of morning coffee. You're not going to be chilly very much longer!

So enjoy that morning cup of coffee... Even when camping or backpacking. You're gonna love it!
