#Vanlife would be intolerable without coffee. This GSI Glacier series 30oz ‘java’ press is my new best friend.
I transition back and forth from tea to coffee and spent most of the last year pounding shots of espresso. Upon moving into my VW Vanagon camper for the summer I forgot to pack either. After one day on the road my daughter, who is a mere 12-years-old, made the observation that I am a lot meaner and less fun to be around without the caffeine.
An exgirlfriend declared my old press “no good” and threw it away after trying to brew loose tea in it. It had been used for coffee for years and was of course, not good for tea.
Tea is lovely but it doesn’t get the job done when camping. This 30oz french press does. I’m currently drinking pre-ground Trader Joe’s medium roast, but when it is gone I’m thinking Illy or Lavazza. I used to hand grind beans when camping but the fuck if I have time for that now.
This GSI insulated press is just the right size for me to brew a pot and drink it as I get my work done in the morning. The coffee stays hot for the 3-4 hours I am working, and always seems to be empty just when I am done typing away.
Praise the press.
