Check out this quick video of me powering my espresso machine from my Rivian R1S while away for the weekend camping. It made such a difference to my weekend!

I will admit that I have dreams of doing the same, but on the top of a Colorado mountain pass.

looks like a profitec 600 with flow control? have the same one only use bottom less filter

did you warm up both boilers and did it take longer than at home?

Now THAT is my kind of camping. I enjoy roughing it, but we're not savages, right?

Way too fancy for me, but my limit is pretty much putting a pot on a fire to boil some water for coffee, LOL.

You go, though! Bet people love hitting you up for some espresso in the mornings at the campsite! ?

Best I can do is setting up a coffee station on my gear tunnel door with my Nespresso and the frother for morning tailgates.

That’s quite the commitment though, I commend it ?. I might just stick with aeropress or bump up to a $300 Breville Bambino at best.

"But why?"
Do you really live in Seattle? The answer is self-evident!
Life is too short for bad coffee.

I took a nespresso camping. Hate me all you want

I was happy to make a hot cup of black coffee with mine. ?

That's right! It's a great machine but I should get a bottomless portafilter too.

I've had a Handpresso for years that doesn't require any power and lets me make an espresso anywhere, it easily packs in my backpack, so I've been roughing it for a long time. Having a power outlet in the Rivian has just dialed it up to 11 though.

Yeah, my friends that were camping with us were pretty happy with me.

I've considered bringing a coffee machine but I'm not really looking for the time savings. Making coffee while camping gives me something to do that I enjoy doing. Heat up a pot of water on the stove, grind the coffee with my hand grinder, set up my aeropress, pour, bloom, pour, steep, press, enjoy.
