Review on GSI Outdoors - Coffee Rocket Maker, Blue: Brew Fresh Coffee Anywhere! by Michelle Kelley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The holy grail of camping/hiking coffee makers.

I've been looking for the best cup of coffee in the outback for many years. I've used everything from RDA styles somewhat similar to this one to Jetboil French Press and the like. While these options are much better than the instant coffee I started my camping career with, they still fall short in terms of usability and size. Sign up for GSI Coffee Rocket. I've heard a lot of good things about this little guy. At an extremely affordable price, it's one of the cheapest coffee maker options out there. It's also one of the lightest and most convenient to pack. I currently keep mine in my mini kettle because that thing is so good I use it at home. When it's coffee time, simply remove the filter from the funnel, fill the coffee filter, fold down the wings on the filter stand and place it on the cup you want to use. Then simply pour hot water into the funnel and literally in 2 minutes you will have a cup of fresh and delicious coffee! Cleaning is very easy, just empty the coffee grounds from the filter and rinse. The filter is made of stainless steel with tiny laser cut holes, making it durable and easy to clean. This is the last rural coffee maker you'll ever need, and if you're like me, it could replace your everyday coffee maker.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Not everything fits
