Built for Backcountry Coffee Brewing
You're tired of choosing between instant coffee packets and hauling fragile gear into the backcountry. Our travel coffee makers solve that problem with patent-protected brewing systems designed specifically for camping, backpacking, and hiking. The BruTrek French Press features double-walled stainless steel construction that won't crack if you drop it on granite. The Ovrlndr Pour Over combines a collapsible dripper with an insulated travel cup in one compact package. Both systems function as reliable coffee makers for off-grid adventures, letting you brew fresh coffee using grounds you actually want to drink, not a freeze-dried compromise.
French Press Strength Without the Bulk
The BruTrek French Press delivers full-bodied, espresso-strength coffee in a design that packs smaller than traditional camping coffee pots. The insulated chamber keeps your brew hot during cold mornings at elevation while the durable plunger mechanism won't fail after a season of trail use. You can brew a full cup or multiple servings depending on your group size. The wide mouth makes cleanup easy with just a quick rinse, essential when you're conserving water at camp.
Pour Over Precision on the Trail
The Ovrlndr Pour Over gives you control over extraction strength without batteries or powered equipment. The collapsible silicone dripper fits standard filters and nests inside the insulated cup, leaving zero wasted space in your pack. This system weighs less than a traditional moka pot or moka express while delivering cleaner flavor than camping coffee pots. You can dial in your preferred strength by adjusting your pour rate, just like you would with a pour-over setup at home.

Gear That Handles Real Outdoor Use
We've spent 15+ years refining these designs in Montana's backcountry because we know what actually breaks on trail. The BruTrek systems use food-grade stainless steel and silicone components that handle temperature swings from alpine mornings to desert afternoons. No plastic parts that crack in the cold. No glass that shatters when your pack tips over. The portable handle on the French Press stays cool to touch even when the coffee's hot, and the Ovrlndr's insulated cup protects your hands without adding bulk.
Pack Weight Matters for Backpacking
Every ounce counts when you're hiking miles to camp. The Ovrlndr weighs less than most battery-powered options while taking up minimal space in your pack. The French Press offers a better weight-to-durability ratio than traditional camping coffee pots, which often dent or develop leaks. Both systems are lighter than carrying a separate moka setup plus an insulated cup. You get café-quality results without the gear penalty that slows you down on the trail.
Easy Cleanup at Remote Campsites
When you're camping miles from running water, complicated gear becomes a liability. Our camping coffee makers break down into components that rinse clean in seconds. The French Press plunger disassembles for thorough cleaning without tools. The Ovrlndr dripper pops out and wipes clean. You're not scrubbing tiny crevices or dealing with grounds stuck in valve mechanisms. This simplicity matters during multi-day trips when you're brewing multiple cups daily, and water conservation is critical.
Your Purchase Supports Wild Places
We partner with the Conservation Alliance to protect the landscapes where you camp and hike. Your purchase directly supports legislation protecting the Boundary Waters and other threatened wilderness areas. The durability of our outdoor coffee makers means you're not adding single-use waste to landfills or leaving disposable instant packets in the backcountry. Our refill program keeps these systems in use for years, reducing the environmental impact of your morning ritual whether you're at basecamp or on a weekend hiking trip.
Buying Advice for Camping Coffee Gear
Consider your typical camping style when choosing a travel coffee maker. The French Press works well for car camping, RV trips, and established campsites where you have a stable surface and aren't counting every ounce. The Ovrlndr Pour Over excels for backpacking, bikepacking, and minimalist hiking where pack weight and compact size are priorities. Both systems brew better coffee than instant coffee and are more reliable than battery-powered options that fail in cold weather. If you regularly camp with a group, the French Press handles multiple servings. Solo travelers and ultralight backpackers prefer the Ovrlndr's integrated cup design.
