Just start it about 20 mins before you planning to stop

Fantastic - just add Frisco or Ricofee, some powdered milk and you are good to go.

Gee I wish I had thought of that.

My one isn't the exact one in my post - but very good point - thank you.

Mine is R299 one from a China Mall.

I made the mistake once and ended up having to manually hold it above the flame until it was done

There was a time OBS was all you needed!

Let me guess: you 4x4 and camp also from time to time?

Dirk is about to tell us about the grinder.

The bushbaby range at Checkers is quite a lot cheaper: https://www.checkers.co.za/All-Depar...e/p/10279820EA

Their gas refills are also worthwhile.

I don't make coffee literally at the side of the road that often, I usually do the flask thing.

As part of my coffee making arsenal I have a Bialetti, though it's a very small one and at some point I want to also get a bigger at least 2 proper mug one. I use it at home and sometimes when camping.
I then also have a Aeropress.

I've been eying this for a while now, a level up from just making coffee before hand in the normal Stanley flask https://www.stanley1913.com/products...39681649836091

A uncle of mine has a little stove very similar to a Jetboil which is awesome, he bought it something like 20 years ago for R99. I would love a Jetboil, but can't justify the price yet.

I've seen this on a Facebook ad I think. Can't tell if it works and it's pricey

Fire Maple meths stove in a Coghlans gel/twig stove with a Moka pot or camp pot for water to make tea.

Simple, reliable, effective and cheap

My setup - as Dirk said....

**Naes-Landy** · 2022/05/31, 01:26 AM

This is the hand grinder I use.

Then I have a Bialetti and a number 3 Cadac with a single ring. No, the Bialetti doesn't quite fit on the ring properly, half sits on the burner itself, but it works, very fast. This Cadac is also used for cooking, and what with a refill costing about R100 its a whole lot cheaper than these compact Camping Gaz type things. I don't have a photo of the Bialetti on the Cadac, but they are both in the same pics below.

So, what does coffee spell backwards? It's what I don't give until I've had my coffee.

Replaced my Alva with one of these. Works great. Buy 2 if you can. That price can't be beaten.

Gas refills have gone from R29 to R49 at Builders overnight

Wait for Makro specials. Sometimes you get 5 for R100 - last time I bought was 2 years ago, and I still have left. So not sure about the price now.

**jds** · 2022/05/31, 07:07 AM

As mentioned before, a hand grinder (ceramic) and bialetti comes out tops for taste. I also fill the flask with hot water and just take my aeropress and some ground beans for a quick cuppa.

**Rainier Vermaak** · 2022/05/31, 07:07 AM

Its cute that you think a Bialetti makes proper coffee.

This is the only hand held way to make proper coffee next to the road.

Needs the barista kit.

More expensive, but makes better espresso by most accounts.

All you need is hot water and this - and hey presto !
