java juice?

What's the buzz with it? http://www.javajuiceextract.com/

I Think I saw reference to this in Overland Journal an issue or two ago, but search doesn't bring up any hits here...

Wow! what is the old saying? Nothing is really new? They had coffee concentrate in the American Civil War- If I recall correctly it actually had milk in it and was boiled down and canned- supposedly the consistancy of condensed milk- You'd take it and mix it with hot water and voila! coffee! I think there were a number of other variations too- I always wanted to try to make some up for camping.

Part of the joy of “the bean” is in preparation. When in the wild, I choose either a Melita, French Press, or when I’m feeling bold, a Turkish coffee pot.

Convenience is one thing, but there is something to be said about preparing some good ‘ol camp coffee… preparing the grind, boiling the water, the aroma while brewing or steeping.

Maybe I'm ol'fashined, but I get enjoyment from the whole ritual, and the end product is just an added bonus at the end of it all

X2 If backpacking and climbing I like the Folgers coffee tea bags for weight and ease. But for vehicle based camping I prefer the old coffee pot on the stove.

Toddy coffee, http://www.toddycafe.com/, is a do-it-yourself coffee concentrate system essentially. It's a sweeter, less acidic, taste that appeals to some but not to others.

We make enough concentrate to last us about a week, and store it in the cooler. Mix with cold milk and it's great on a hot day, too.
