As much as we love our elaborate at-home coffee setups (Coffee grinders! Espresso machines! Pour-over coffee makers!) most of those tools are not exactly portable. If you’re heading into the great outdoors and want a good cup of joe, you’ll need to take a different approach. That's why we set out to research and test the best camping coffee makers that prioritize portability, durability, and brewing convenience without sacrificing taste.
The Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances Lab has spent decades testing kitchen appliances and coffee makers, including drip coffee makers, single-cup brewers and French presses. When we test coffee makers, we round up the best models on the market and narrow down the field before testing for aspects like ease of use (like filling the water tank and brew basket and cleaning the carafe and filter after use, if applicable). We also take temperature readings during and after the brewing process, as well as during the keep-warm cycle. And of course, we rate the flavor of the resulting cup of coffee.
Our top picks:
Our recommendations feature brands that performed best in our coffee maker tests; we also pored over vetted user reviews and based our picks on our evaluations of material, price, durability and ease of use. Here, we prioritized camping coffee makers that are easy to clean, lightweight for their category, reasonably priced, built to last and that brew a great cup of coffee efficiently.
