Over the years I have used and review many products - thousands of products and out of those, certain products are what I consider to be my favorite.
This is one of them.
This is the Soto Helix Coffee Maker and it’s one of those products that I like to use as it slows me down, makes me focus on not only the world around me but the entire process of making a really good cup of coffee.
I don’t always use this coffee maker when I’m out on a trip but when I do, it’s always a pleasure.
This is Luke's long term review of the Soto Helix Coffee Dripper!

Soto Helix :
Weight : 1.6 oz for the basket - 2.3oz for the basket, bag and 10 filters
Materials : Stainless steel
Shape : Inverted cone-shape and collapsible coffee maker
Dimensions set-up : 4.5” x 4.1” base x 2.8” tall x 3.9” wide at top
Bag Dimensions : 5” wide x 5” tall x 1” thick
Price : $17
Pros :
- Lightweight (half the weight of the gsi product)
- Compact - folds flat enough
- Not bulky
- Dries quickly so you can stow it again.
- Bag carries the stand, filters, and coffee which I put into small zip lock bags
- Makes good coffee
- Included coffee filters work just fine and I haven’t had any issues with them.
- #2 filters are easy to find and can be purchased very inexpensively.
- Easy to clean up- there are numerous products which have integrated filters which can be a pain to clean and stay wet for a long time. With this one, you remove the filter, air dry for a moment and you are good to go.
- Price isn’t bad even though I don’t blame anyone for questioning $17 for a wire basket but if you go out and look at similar products, some cost $40, some plastic models cost $13 and so on.
Cons :
- Can be challenging to use if you are in forest as you will need a flat spot to put your cut and then the Soto on top.
- If it isn’t flat, it will slide.
- Again, this product will slide around on top of your cup so you need to be careful with it - don’t know it over.
- Time - using this product will take a bit of time for you to have a full cup of coffee and it may not be as hot as you want it to be once full. Because of the small design, the amount of filtering that it can do is less than larger products which are out on the market.
- For Two - The product states that this is for two cups of coffee but I use it for one
- The Soto Helix is pricey at $17 - there are knockoff versions of this that cost $7 - the one that I looked at doesn’t include a bag or any filters. I’ll put the link to it in the description box if you wish to check it out.

Thank you for the great review, I love my own Soto coffee maker. They make great gear. I solved the “sliding” problem with three cable ties. Zip one cable tie to each of the tree ears and then trim off ! The gadget still slides but you never lose it completely off the mug. Hope this tip works. Love your channel and the great reviews with no BS. Cheers from John in Tasmania

I love it how you make reviews of even the simplest items exciting, and always informative and worthwhile. I really like Soto, no fluff in their stuff hehe and this coffee maker is another example. I've been using one of those steel mesh filters you showed for my daily cuppas for years, I find that it cleans very easily with running water but of course that's where the difficulty comes in for most campers. Oh and having that awesome outro music in the background while writing these comments is very cool :)

there are also coffee -teabags- you can buy. if you want to go really light weight. they are little tea bags that you prefill with coffee then pull a draw string to close, you then steep them like normal tea bags... they work pretty well for quick coffee when you want brewed but don't want to carry any brewing equipment.

I have been making pour over coffee at home and while out camping for the last 6 months. It's far better than automatic drip coffee imo. I use a solid filter and get some grounds in my coffee so I am looking at ones like this with the paper filter. Thanks Luke. Stay safe and God bless.

I like that, since it is coiled wire, you can see around it and get a visual on how full the cup is. I've had plastic versions, and you can't tell when to stop adding water very well. You have to keep lifting it and looking underneath. A feature that could easily be added would be a quick dip in silicone, just for the base. Then it wouldn't slide around quite so much.
@kevinschwinkendorf3202

The only big problem is that coffee maker doesn’t use the steeping process. Instead, it uses a paper filter. The steeping process is what makes a French press such a great way to brew coffee. Other then that it’s an great coffee maker. It’s lightweight and extremely compact
@Wordsmyth8
@Wordsmyth8 9 месяцев назад
I agree with you. I find the pour over coffee’s to not be very rich or flavorful, because the coffee doesn’t actually steep. I guess this might be good enough in the outdoors, but if there was someway to use a simple French press system, I might prefer that.

@KNURKonesur
@KNURKonesur 9 месяцев назад
The french press was always a great way to brew coffee easily. But it was never a way to brew great coffee. The amount of silt and muddiness it produces drove me crazy. Also most people brew a french press without sticking to any ratios or temperatures, so if you're using fresh really good quality coffee, the results will vary drastically every time. I'm a fan of clean crispy filter coffee methods, so a V60 is usually my go-to. For camping, an Aeropress GO is a good middle-ground that's easy to use and very easy to stick to weight/time/ratios/recipes.

I have a stainless french press that is my only real luxury item, well that and my grinder.. In the middle of Botswana in a tent camp there's nothing like a good cup of coffee fresh ground and well steeped... the only "waste" is the grounds goes in the organic waste or if you Must.. buried in the grass.. no paper to deal with or carry out.

I would have probably purchased this Soto one had I seen it first, but I picked up a similar silicon duo for pour over coffee. I work on cruise ships and like to make my own coffee in my cabin. These silicon ones travel well (airports and security checks) and are quiet. These silicon ones are easy to clean, super light (3 oz), and cheap (below $10 for two). Similarly, you use a paper filter with them. I used them camping in the high desert and had no issues. Also, it makes one cup of coffee at a time.
@walkerone9833
@walkerone9833 9 месяцев назад
I've had my silicone brewers for over 5 yrs and one of the two I received when purchased tore yesterday. So now I'm down to one but love them. I use the non cone filters and it works fine. I prefer the silicone because it keeps the water hotter longer in cold weather as it drains into the cup.

I have the Soto version, and my beef with it is that it slides all over the cup if bumped or not perfectly level. Seems to me that silicone would be a better solution. In fact, I have some 3mm silicone tubing. I’m going to try sliding it over the base and see if that helps at all.

I use it when out camping, multiday hikes, my daily coffee in the forest, etc. Mostly when out on a campingsite i just pour it into a thermos flask and i do have coffee for the entire day. My con: it runs very slowly which can make your cup of coffee cooling down fast especialy on colder days. But other then that i'm loving this coffee maker. 👍👌☕

It's part of the ritual for the whole coffee community: pour over is partially a mediation process than just brew a drink for you caffeine drug urge(in fact I switched to full decaf now for the best part of it). For the life of me I used to be all about strong espresso body and milk craver. Punches face in the morning to wake up and treat your palette with nice butter cake. My hand grinder openned up an option to led me trying out some pour over and it opened my eyes for the first time. I still prefer the intense and bold drink in the morning with milk to a cup of clean, delicate and silky almost tea like coffee. But the process is totally different, almost healing.

Take 3 sewing clips, and clip the wings to your cup or pot, no more sliding. You can make a linen bag filter and reuse it over and over, the coffee will dye it a pretty brown color, and if you make the bag large enough you can carry the wire thing in it along with the coffee and other things you might want or need.

Y'all will laugh, but i use a coffee perker of stainless steal, because i make a six cup pot to sip on all day. It can double as a soup pot if need be, or to boil water.

I use a # 2 size bamboo filter which fits perfect and is ideal for a full cup. I can make a cup in 2 to 3 minutes so the time factor isn't a big deal. Also I saw that you coffee is ground to a perk grind. I grind my own beans to a finer grind which gives a better cup of coffee. I enjoy your channel .

You can get plastic versions for pennys without mail order or going to an outdoor store, however the trade off is in the bulk. It is pretty cool that this folds flat. Like many things under stress, I would not store it flat at home just as you shouldn't stuff your sleeping bag into a compression sack for months at a time. #2 coffee filters should fit or at least make do. I have an ultralight 11g mesh coffee filter but the water goes through so fast I resorted to also using paper filters in it.

I have a couple of collapsable rubber ones that work very well, but they do not dry as quickly as the Soto appears to do. I picked up another type of coffee filter from Bass Pro Shop, thinking that if they sell it, it must be good? Wrong! I hate the thing. It takes forever to filter the coffee and is a nightmare to clean. How many different ways has mankind thought up to filter the perfect cup of coffee????? Thousands, I bet!!! Great video again.

I bought a Sea to Summit X-Brew Collapsible Camping Coffee Dripper about four years ago. No regrets, and I don't have to carry filters that fall on the ground and get dirty, get wet and hard to separate when it rains, and take up the extra space. I haven't had any problems using it or cleaning it. I seem to always end up having problems in the woods when a paper filter is involved.
@jimsheeran4952
@jimsheeran4952 8 месяцев назад

I use a French press at home, just to stew the coffee before pouring it through a cloth (cotton) filter. This works for that, where boiling water is added to coffee, left to brew for a couple of minutes, then pouring/filtering through just this sort of filter. I have the other types of coffee machines, but I like coffee and this is how I make it, even at home. Using a cloth filter too, I just pop/shake the grounds off, and leave it out for the next time. I don't rinse it-don't have too-it is just coffee grinds and hot water.

I use a collapsable silicone coffee basket. No slide as easy as that one, and even thinner. Plus it does not get hot. 5-12 USD on Amazon, same filters, weight 3.2 - 5 oz average. Some even have clips for after rinsing, collapsing, and hanging on a pack or belt for drying.

I do like the Soto and it's great for size and weight and makes really nice coffee. Given the space though I tend to pack my Aeropress Go over the Soto, it's much more forgiving of technique when out on the trail - it's too easy (IME) to make a bad pourover.

I tend to pack the aeropress too, but my only gripe is that the volume it makes per brew is a bit small, esp when you're out in the backcountry with several people and everyone wants a cup or two of coffee it can take forever to brew enough.

@@antnguyen I tend to be alone out on the trail so not an issue for me there, at home I'd use a V60 decanter or a French Press for making a big batch. There is a new XL Aeropress recently released, think it would be a bit big for backpacking use though.

In Japan there’s the equivalent of 1 dollar shop (100Yen Shop), and they sell a bit more flimsier version of this filter for 100 yen. Filters or bag are not included but they do sell the filters separately in a set of about 20 filters for 100 yen also. The exchange rate is 145 yen per dollar. I use this very often when outdoors and honestly, I do love it. The cons are still the sam 😅

That's a pretty efficient design and I like it. Personally, I currently use a Wacaco Nanopresso to get a shot of espresso when I'm at work. It came in a travel case and makes excellent coffee. Takes a moment to set it up, which I can use to bring water to a boil. Would love to see you check that one out and comment on the quality of the coffee/espresso it produces.

This will work well with the Haro #1 filters (that you can use with the V60 drip)

What people often forget about coffee, tea of cocoa is that those items are measured as a cup of one of those beverages is being 6 oz. I know a normal measured cup is 8 oz. but in the coffee/ tea world a cup is measured in 6 oz.

You could put silicone sleeves around the loops at the bottom to stop it sliding about on the cup😊

Considering you don’t have to use the single instant coffee packaging that ends up in the landfill and are so expensive, I love this. Think I’ll try the cheap one though. Thanks for the review!

I find it interesting that your concern for the environment for the single coffee packaging does not tag along with the fact that most of the silicone cheap ones are made in China which has no regard for the planet. Just say'n.

@@walkerone9833 if you have somehow managed to go a week without a Chinese product I congratulate you! I doubt it though, as most people have no idea how deeply Chinese products have overtaken our economy. If you take any prescription drugs you might as well buy a silicone pour over, as I believe the vast majority of US drugs prescribed originate in China. I agree with your sentiment but we are already sold out to aChina.

Best hiking coffee: a piece of stainless mesh... put the coffee in the pot with the water...boil a few minutes (it's fine it won't burn the coffee)...pour through the mesh into your cup... it's the best at home as well... fling the grounds it's good for the land...flap the mesh on a tree or rock or a spoon... quick rinse...weighs almost nothing... definitely the best coffee...😎

Coming in at 5 grams for my coffee filter from GSI. I did cut the three plastic posts off it.

I would be interested if you took a look at Tiesta Tea paper filters. They're a mix of coffee filter and tea bag. Makes loose leaf extremely convenient, and is less wasteful than a normal tea bag. I'd imagine you could use them for coffee but the paper is more porous than a coffee filter
