The days of settling for watered down instant camping coffee are a thing of the past. With the help of the Hibear Adventure Flask, an innovative new take on the stainless steel water bottle we all know and love, you can make cafe-level pour over and cold brew coffee anywhere you roam. In fact, it might even take less time than your at-home system.
The Hibear Adventure Flask, or the AF, is an all-in-one water bottle, pour over coffee maker, cocktail shaker, and a tea and cold brew maker. All the parts you need to make fantastic coffee in nature (or on the go), fit conveniently inside the flask. We love the AF as a high-quality brewing tool that offers versatility in any location. And the bright colors and custom artwork on the AF don’t hurt, either. So grab your favorite Hikers Brew blend– Here’s how to make camping coffee with the Hibear AF:
Make sure you have this list of goodies packed:

3. Stove for boiling hot water
4. 500-600 ML of water

No matter if you enjoy pour over or cold brew, it’s essential to make sure your morning ritual doesn’t come at the expense of nature. Following Leave No Trace principles is the best way to keep the outdoor areas we love clean. And coffee grounds are no exception.
When you’re ready to dispose of your coffee grounds, the safest bet is to toss them in with the rest of your trash. If you have a compost pail with you, all the better. Coffee grounds, just like Hikers Brew Venture Pouches are 100% compostable.
Even though coffee grounds and Hikers Brew pouches are compostable and biodegradable, you shouldn’t bury or scatter them around your campsite. Coffee grounds can attract wildlife, which can danger the animals and other humans. Grounds can be harmful to some insects and plant life, too. Just like other foods and food waste, make sure to toss your coffee grounds in a trash or compost pin, or pack them out in a leak-proof container, like this. Once you’re home, you can add your compostable items to a backyard compost bin, or send them to a commercial compost facility.
Ready to take your camping coffee game to the next level? Stock up on organically grown, small-batch roasted coffee that’s always packed in 100% compostable pouches and bags.
Take happy hour to the next level with a cocktail that has some caffeinated kick. But don’t worry, this is nothing like the vodka Redbull’s of days past. This coconut milk-based concoction is smooth, tastefully sweetened, and has the perfect hints of caramel and vanilla.
Look no further for a cocktail that’s made for afternoon drinks on the beach, and one that’ll quickly become your favorite thing to sip around the campfire, too. Spiked with refreshing cold brew and served on ice, this drink is ideal for the hottest summer days. And when it’s mixed with the campers choice liquor-– whiskey, well, it’s a beverage that’s just begging to be paired with your favorite flannel and a cracking flame.
When you start with the right tools and few quality ingredients, making a five-star beverage can be achieved just about anywhere. To make this drink shine, you’ll want to prepare some cold brew coffee ahead of time. This ensures you’ll have a silky smooth, never bitter base for your cocktail. And, you won’t have to worry about chilling coffee when you’re ready for a stronger beverage. Luckily, with the help of the Hibear AF, making the perfect cup of cold brew is easy.
When it comes to ingredients, the right coffee is key. For this cocktail, we suggest using the Red Rocks blend by Hikers Brew. Not only is this coffee high quality (and sustainably packaged), the gentle caramel flavor takes our cold brew cocktail to a whole new level. While other coffee-based cocktails can have an acidic undertone, this blend will bring all the flavor with none of the bitter bite. To add another layer of smoothness to the concoction, you’ll find coconut milk and agave nectar on the ingredient list. This makes for a cocktail that’s 100% vegan and is both creamier and lighter than your average milk-based drink.
Mix all of this goodness together with a hearty shake, and you’ve got a drink that’s guaranteed to keep the good times rollin.
Makes one ~8 ounce cocktail.
