Share
Brewed for Adventure. Crafted for Comfort.
Ingredients:
- 1 shot of espresso (or 2 oz strong coffee)
- 4 oz milk (dairy or your favorite alternative)
- Optional: sugar, cinnamon, or cocoa powder
Gear You'll Need:
- Portable espresso maker or AeroPress
- Compact milk frother (battery-operated or manual)
- Camping stove or heat source
- Small pot or mug
- Your favorite trail mug
Instructions:
- Brew Your Base - Use your trail espresso maker to pull a fresh, strong shot of espresso. Pour it into your mug and set aside.
- Heat the Milk - On your camp stove, gently heat the milk in a small pot until warm (but not boiling).
- Froth It Up - Use your hand-pump or battery-powered frother to froth the warm milk until it’s nice and foamy.
- Combine - Pour the hot milk over your espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Then scoop the foam on top.
- Customize (Optional) - Sprinkle a little cinnamon, cocoa powder, or sugar on top for that barista-style finish.
Enjoy your off-grid cappuccino with mountain views, trail dust, and a whole lot of freedom.
Because the best mornings start with great coffee—no matter where the road takes you.
