Happy (Caffeinated) Camping With ‘Java Can’ Kit

[leadin]There’s that moment when camping….the day just beginning, you’re cocooned in a sleeping bag watching the first morning rays infiltrate your tent when suddenly a heavenly scent approaches: The smell of coffee brewing.[/leadin]

Now, imagine it’s actually going to taste as good as it smells. Instead of a burnt cup of “camp” coffee, you’ll get a barista-worthy espresso complete with warmed, foamed milk.

And that it all packs into a sturdy container, perfect for any car camping or over-land expedition.

Let me introduce the Java Can. This ammo tin is packed with everything you need to become a barista at the campsite.

Review: Java Can ($145 Full Kit)

You bring the coffee, milk, and fuel canister and, bam!, you’re ready for a coffee shop experience in the great outdoors. Here’s how it works:

Step 1) Enjoy a few minutes around the campfire hand grinding your beans (pass it around if you want to get the group involved — everyone likes the smell of fresh ground coffee!). Fill the bottom of the Moka Pot with water and the basket with the ground beans. Set on the stove and bring to a boil. Take off the heat and get to work on the milk.

Step 2) For maximum frothiness, whisk the milk while it’s on the stove on low heat. Pour coffee into the Java cups. Add a dash of Bailey’s or a drop of maple syrup as desired and top with frothed milk. Serve to the raucous praise of caffeine-deprived campers everywhere.

And don’t worry, it’s meant to take a beating and keep on brewing. Developed by a U.S. Army Green Beret over several deployments, the Java Can has been tested to withstand intense conditions.
