Miranda in the Wild – Coffee in the Mountains

American Alpine Institute
Back to Blog

I admit it. I don’t drink coffee…
I know. I know. I know. How do I survive…? I’m not really sure.
But I do know that most of you out there do drink coffee. And not only that, but coffee is an important part of your day, even in the backcountry. I’m afraid that I don’t have the skills to give you what  you need to get your fix. So, with that in mind, I’ve found two excellent Miranda in the Wild videos for you. Miranda in the Wild is a web series sponsored by REI that goes deep into all kinds of tricks and tips for backpacking. In each of the following videos, Miranda talks coffee, what works best and how to do it…
In this first video, Miranda tests all the different backcountry coffee options.

And in this second video, Miranda shows us how to make some fancy coffee drinks in the field.
