The sun's finally out, the weather's getting warmer and it's that time of year to trek up the mountain to enjoy good ol' Mother Nature. But make sure you fill up that pack with all the essentials -- map, water, compass and … CAFFEINE! Yes, it's possible to keep yourself buzzing with java as you hike through the forest. Check out some of our favorite on-the-go coffee makers that we throw in our packs before we hit the open trail.

 


Bialetti Moka Express Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker		 As long as you have your whisper light, some water and your favorite coffee, you'll be brewing up a strong cup o' java in no time. Made of aluminum, this indestructible pot allows you to diffuse heat and get that same aromatic smell out of your coffee in the great outdoors. Simple and easy to use, just fill the lower chamber with water, add ground coffee to the filter and then  place it on your whisper light until the water boils your espresso to perfection.
AeroPress Light and easy to pack, the AeroPress is the next best thing to bringing the actual coffee maker on a hike. Made of BPA-free plastic, the AeroPress mixes grounds and water for ten second and then uses a micro-filter,  leaving your coffee silt and grit free. Smooth!
Handpresso Wild/Domepod Bike pump or espresso maker? The Handpresso may look like a bike pump but rather than pumping up your tire it'll pump you up with caffeine. This hand held tool barely takes up any space and gives you an even easier option of using E.S.E. pods or your favorite ground coffee. All you need is hot water and your favorite coffee grounds or pods, then pump up the Handpresso and it'll extract away.

Carry your favorite coarsely ground coffee, add hot water and let it hang out for a few minutes.
