Coffee vacation: how to take a delicious coffee in any part of the world
Travels / / December 19, 2019
My name is Sergey Dorokhov, about coffee, I know everything, and it is a problem. My wife and tasters, and the coffee, which many drink for money and even praising, we are not satisfied. First, we spit tasteless espresso and cappuccino, and then began to think about how to take your own coffee in the journey. We were in Europe, Asia and Africa. We were in the villages and in the big cities, in the mountains and on the coast. We spent the night in tents and five-star hotels. We tried everything, that only exists in the coffee world, and now we share many years of experience.
I'll tell you how to prepare coffee in a family vacation in many ways. Choose the one that seems more comfortable. All are good, check for yourself. I'll start with the most simple and unpretentious, and then together we will climb to the top of the delicious coffee of the hit parade.
7) Find a cafe nearby
Using a pre-facebook, twitter, google maps. Especially good foursquare! Calculate good coffee sometimes, sometimes impossible. But in general, it is clear that in Egypt or Turkey, delicious coffee is not in principle, but to go to London with his samovar - idiocy. Here, for example, the most that neither is a hipster solution: application
London's Best CoffeeWhich determines the location of the nearest coffee shop and offers a review and rating.dignity: No additional luggage.
disadvantages: Expensive and not the fact that tasty.
6) in the cup Brewing opencast
"Zaparivat not parimsya" - ground coffee is brewed in a cup of hot water. So do professional tasters:
dignity: Enough to take with you or buy on the spot of coffee
disadvantages: Many do not like thick, delicious with only very good coffee
5) French-press
This is my bullet-proof thermostatic jacket Vitesse. Cool jacket makes Starbucks, he without a handle and with a tight cover. You can buy ibee.
Sometimes it is more convenient to buy on the site of glass than to drag with an iron, and then throw away or donate to somebody. Here's a video how to brew jacket.
dignity: Cheap, easy, convenient.
disadvantagesNot everyone likes the taste of coffee from his tunic.
4) Espresso coffee machine
We bought specially for the holiday Gaggia Espresso Pure Nero. Two selection criteria were: a) cheap, not sorry; 2) the lightest of the normal. We conducted with her in the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains in two summers.
Braley with ground coffee in airtight cans - silicone gaskets did not give him quickly eroding. Reserve a few pods.
Within the country the issue of replenishment of coffee stocks hesitated mail.
dignity: Uncompromising espresso and cappuccino, fits any coffee.
disadvantages: Expensive, heavy, three-dimensional, it is necessary to know how to cook.
3) Aeropress
Aeropress - seemingly little toy, but prepares delicious coffee. In one welding can be cooked to 200 ml, the beverage saturation controlled by the amount of ground coffee, the temperature and amount of water, extraction time and the pressing force. Everything is very individual!
You can make easy kofeok consistency diluted kompotik dried fruit, and can be fusion caffeine concentrate. Here is a video how to brew Aeropress:
Buy Aeropress can be Kofemarkete. It includes a handy lightweight cosmetic cover type:
dignity: Opportunities to change the saturation of the coffee intuitively fits any coffee
disadvantages: It is necessary to know how to cook, make efforts in the extraction, it is inconvenient to wash
2) Handpresso
Take hot water from the kettle, the cooler, the pot over the fire or take a thermos boiling water. Pressure pumped integrated pump-type bicycle. By experience, pods very convenient! Wash is not necessary, you can wipe with a cloth. Hendpresso - the title says it all. This is a real espresso machine, which you can hold in your handThere is a model under the ground and under the pods, covers and cases, with complete sets of cups and thermos. They are in the mountains:
and even in a submarine:
There is a car modification works from the cigarette lighter:
I took him in the tent camping, hot water took a campfire, tourists were shocked by the fact that the morning espresso has been the whole camp! Here is my set Outdoor:
dignity: Authentic espresso, is compact.
disadvantages: It is necessary to pump the pump.
1) Purover Hario V60
As a result, our choice - purover, definitely! The most fashionable, the most trend, the most progressive method of preparation. Still looking retseptiki coffee with spices and cream from a container? Oh well. Enough to mask the taste was a crappy low quality coffee with sugar, milk, cream and syrup! Enough to pay for the slop that you sell at every step, from the stalls and to network giants with green mermaid on mugs! Good coffee is delicious by itself, its a sin to spoil any additives. Pass on the bright side, young padawan!
Learn how to cook, the filter coffee Handmaiden easily. No problems with the selection of grinding, no complicated techniques or expensive Divays. Wash easily (but you can not wash at all). We take a great model for 1-4 coffee and ready to fight half a liter, so sparingly by the filter and flow over time. This drink is delicious hot, warm or even chilled. Of all the most convenient was puroverov funnel-Hario V60 dripper. We like the red ceramic, but you can buy a plastic cup and 1-2 will be quite minimal in terms of money, weight and volume. Communicated with the Japanese from Hario, I threw them the idea to do a funnel made of silicone, so you can crush and put in your pocket. Promise will soon have to start in the series!
Bonus: an extreme coffee-peyntbolski
No comments :-)
P.S. Coffee ueber alles!
In fact, no matter what the model, pan fry rotten meat - fresh steak still will not work. So it is with the coffee! Therefore, it seems to me even more important topic is not how to cook and how to preserve the freshness of the coffee. Uncompromising option - to take a coffee grinder. I did so, that's how I'm going suitcase in warmer climes:
If the trip is just a few days, then you can take with ground coffee. Packaging should be sealed (sealed soldering, the bonding tape). If more than two months, it will save the pods (packed in inert gas keeps the suitability of 12 months), or delivery of freshly roasted from the online store. I would buy from Mr. LeightonIf it were not for its own (Yes, we fry megavkusny coffee. Not until you sell, there is little at all is missing.).
General recommendations: freshly roasted coffee plantation is good with any method of cooking. Espresso mixes with Robusta - only in the espresso machine. Espresso mixture of 100% arabica universal to such an extent that it is possible to prepare hendpresso, and even aeropress jacket. It is better to use alternative ways of light types (light, roasting Scandinavian). For purovera, brewing open way (steamed in a cup) - only freshly roasted, only light, only freshly ground beans!
P.P.S. Pitcher: anytime, anywhere
As could be seen in the pictures above, I always take a pitcher (Jag, a metal milk jug). It is needed not only for latte art, reliever - sverhudobnaya, reliable, lightweight, versatile piece of plate. I have such. From him I pour a thin stream of water purover as ideologically correct teapot with a long spout to drag the continent on a uncomfortable: big, heavy. Append article sitting on their suitcases.
Let grandma home happy bulky coffee! We take only a:
1. Purover Hario V60
2. Filters Hario V60
3. Pitcher 340 ml
4. Ground coffee
