Making Coffee Outside — Hiking in Lofoten

It's not much that can beat making coffee outside, especially on a hike like this. I start off hiking in the evening and find myself a quiet spot to set up the tent. With the midnight sun it feels like the day never ends, and it’s tempting to stay up to catch the beautiful light from the sun. I go to bed at around 3 am and sleep in. When I wake up the sun is already high on the sky and the views are magnificent. I gather some more wood and make a fire using the hobo stove. As the wind was increasing I made a wind breaker for the stove to prevent a wildfire.

Making coffee outside:
The coffee I make is called steeped coffee. I grind the beans at home before I head out (burr grinder on a filter setting), and let them steep in water for four minutes (35 grams / 1.25 oz of coffee beans for 0.5 liters / 17 us fl oz of water). I then stir the coffee to let the grounds sink, and then let it sit another two minutes. I then pour the coffee into the wooden kuksa and enjoy the view.

Location: Sildpollheia, north-east of Svolvær in Lofoten. Norway.
