Mountain Cafe

Good evening party people, welcome to the cafe! As some of you may know, I’m a coffee educator for a coffee roaster called Unincorporated Coffee Roasters. As someone who has been drinking and enjoying coffee all of his life, I must say that mountain coffee just hits way the fuck harder than cafe coffee. No feeling can compare to waking up and brewing a cup of coffee or tea while deep in a canyon surrounded by nature and good friends.

Please share your coffee or tea pics, location, what you’re brewing and how your brewing it!

I’ll go first.

Here's the setup:

The orange bike and the red bag and the green monster are so much younger and non-faded-looking! I'm with Ryan, and usually don't really do the full thing anymore. So much weight and stuff! Real nice though. The full report for those interested: viewtopic.php?t=7945

Just climbed at tunnel crag for the first time ever with the one and only, Kevin Mockracik! I made him coffee after the climb and I used the cezve with quiet prophet mixed with brown sugar and cardamom!

That is excellent.

Here's an action shot:

I would tell you all about the coffee, but I have no idea! The circumstances made it great! viewtopic.php?t=8005

Arright boys, I have two new things I wanna get: a very simple coffee making apparatus for extended bike trips, and a simple coffee maker that doesn’t use electricity or anything for day to day life.

For the bike one, I want something very light that takes up very little space and makes a solid good cup of coffee. I don’t mind if it is technique-dependant, meaning you gotta get good with it. For the home one, maybe a French press or the Italian Moka Pot. Would like to be able to make 2 cups or more with it. No electricity, gotta survive the Tupacalypse with it sorta thing.

Wadayasay?

Get what I have and get one made of aluminum or titanium for compactness! You’ll be able to easily get 4oz out of a small one and it will be little liquid with a perfect strong caffeine punch, good for biking. Super easy to clean too and beats the mocha pot in terms of compactness. Also all you need is ground coffee. For my setup, I have my coffee in a bag mixed with a blend of coffee, cardamom, and brown sugar

I brewed up some unincorporated coffee that Matthew gave me in my french press in tuolomne meadows campground this weekend. It was GOOD
Sorry, it was not back country and I do not have pics, but it was pretty rad to drink good coffee at high elevation surrounding by granite domes and trees
