How-To: Make a cheap portable espresso machine [engadget.com]
roscoepico, this is for bike camping. Wich calls for light and compact gear. I just cant carry along this plastic bazooka in a caulking gun, sorry. ;)
Here is the kind of gizmo [images.mec.ca] i have in mind.
It's supposed to pop an espresso in less than 2 minutes and weights about 200 grams.
For me, camping is synonymous with boiling muddy river-water and roadkill meals in a tin can on a makeshift camp-fire. ;)
If I ever try to climb the Everest, I wont try it on a bike.
>>Isn't the cold, bracing morning air supposed to wake you up better that synthetic caffiene high anyway?!
Yeah but the morning coffee kind of motivates me to #*$! in the woods.

Remember it's about bike camping here, where camping is a necessity to the enlightment of biking on the Route Verte [routeverte.com], all day. Camping is just for when you must stop riding, have a decent meal, fix yourself, watch a starry night, have fun, and then sleep in the wild. In the morning, we must have a good meal (with coffee), #*$! in the woods once, then wrap stuff up in order to ride again for the day.
If we had your roadkill meals boiled in muddy river-water diet, I suspect we would just spend the rest of the day #*$!ting in the woods.
Just bought one and tried it. That is real coffee!
Hope I wont get speeding tickets with this stuff.
