Ultralight Outdoor Coffee Maker - The Keith Titanium Ti3911 Pour Over 

(GV very, very paraphrased) "The cone can't get any lighter... unless you use a bit of paper." Challenge accepted. Since I watched this vid the other day, I've been making pour-over/steep hybrid coffees by a method inspired by this video and your commentary (though I imagine I'm not the first). I take a #2 cone filter and bend over the edge about a cm. Place that around the rim of the mug and add ground coffee. First time I used two paper clips to secure the filter, but this turns out to be unnecessary; the tension of the folded over rim is enough. Add ground coffee and pour water. Initially it pours through pretty quickly, but then slows down. Keep pouring until the grounds float and place lid on top to retain heat. Steeping 45 sec has been good for me. Lift filter, let drain and discard. Lid on and enjoy hot coffee. These have been so good, I just don't think I could tell the difference blind between this and my regular pour-over. This is either a sad commentary on my pour-over skills or a testament to the genius of the pour-over/steep method. ;-) I assume that the too-quick pour-over time (under-extraction) is compensated by the supplemental steeping time (adjusted to avoid over-extraction). For the record, the first one of these I made was with a hardy paper coffee cup from a restaurant. Paper cup + 1 paper filter = 30g. ;-) Actually, it started out with hot chocolate and my son wanted to keep it. Not sure what toxins I'm ingesting as the cup breaks down, but it was on its 6th or 7th use and still in great shape. For the rest of the coffees, I use a double-walled ceramic mug made to look like a paper coffee cup, to include silicone lid. A benefit to this method over any metal cone is that the filter bottom is insulated inside the mug; the metal cone exposed to air is always cooling down faster. It's the easiest way for me to make coffee out on my property, on the deck or at the firepit and I thank GV for the inspiration. The family and I are going to hike part of the Appalachian Trail this summer and I see no reason for this not to be my preferred way to make coffee. I probably don't have any qualms about rinsing and reusing the filter a few times, too. I have the Nanopresso, but I only use it in the house (my espresso machine that takes up zero counter space). This makes coffee on the trail uncomplicated and a reality for me (other than when I just bring a vacuum bottle of coffee). Thanks GV! Might try this overnight for a cold brew coffee in the morning....

I really enjoy your videos! You are teaching me a lot about coffee. You are so right about coffee tasting its best outdoors! I am a Duke of Edinburgh's Award Leader and the kids are amazed when I take out my Nanopresso.

I really like how detailed this video was especially when it came down to making a cup of coffee itself. I like the method you used to dial your specific taste in, going to have to try it

BRILLIANT VIDEO , just took the plunge .

Nice review, thanks for sharing! I recently bought a Keith Titanium Mug with a folding handle and lid, and I'm pleased with it! :)

Beautiful bit of kit👍 don't think it's will make me give up the cowboy coffee outdoors

thanks for the upload. great vid

Great video and this produce looks amazing. Will have to pick this up after saving some money. It has a steep but reasonable price. It is titanium and I can see why it is at that price. I was looking for a metal coffee filter for on the go and this would be perfect. Thank you for all of your video and reviews. They truly help, and yes my Nanopresso also has its on drying station.

Always like watching your videos. Especially when your dog makes an appearance:))

Just discovered your channel, really great reviews!

Awesome review.......Living in Asia is very coffee educational to say the least. what really opened my eyes to the coffee world was a visit to Timor Leste last month. Can you say Peaberry Robusta.......love it. Coffee on brother!!!

good review thumbs up!

Also works brilliant with tea , dare I say that given the reverential appreciation for coffee , .

You're a legend m8! Love your approach, plz don't change. Fave things about this video: 1. Barcode still on the Hario Skelter 2. "Letting off it's gasses" 3. "Coffee tastes better outdoors" Epic

I think some great content for a future video would be a comparison between all the portable espresso machines. More of a pros and cons of each and which is your personal favorite.

If compare with V60 paper filter which one is better taste ?

Nice alternative to plastic of the Aeropress. April coffee makes a little bag with pre ground you can sit on cup for pour over. Dont need to bring grinder if camping.

Try Use the lid to tap the filter to control the flow rate.

Hey Hope all is well in your world... very much looking forward to a new video, and hope something is in the pipeline? All the best

Wow mate, completly blown away, that is a beautiful bit of kit, just fantastic machining and finish, and as always thank you for great geeky and in depth review:) I truly appriciate you keep your videos long and in depth, and put so much care into the quality, keep up the hard work! Which hammock have you got? I bought a warbonnet Blackbird Xlc 4-5 years ago and never looked back, hammocks are so amazing:)

Funny ending to your video and a nice overview of the four types. As I enjoy french pressed coffee and at times expresso. Most of the time when camping as I'm out and about for other things, many are not fans of I enjoy simple old Cowboy coffee made over the campfire. Now we let the coffee grounds float around in the pot for three mins as this seems to bring out richer flavors. Then add cold water on top which drives all the grounds to the bottom of the pot, making the coffee ready to serve without grounds. Thanks truly enjoyed your OUTDOOR MAKING. I'm not a pumper as that method is just hard on my old hands. Good show.

Bought it !

I haven't tried this one, I have a whole series on Trail Coffee and this one would have been good for that. I used the GSI Ultralight Java Drip which is a pourover mesh piece, even lighter than this one! I'm also a hammock camper and am headed over to the UK for all of December!

What are your thoughts on this coffee maker since you published this video? Are you still using it and would you recommend it? Lastly, how does it compare to V60?

Wait till you have seen their Titanium mini teapot !

10:56... the best quote for me & my staresso. i think that is the tagline of gadgetviper coffee review 😁 "COFFEE TASTES BEST OUTDOORS" 👍👍👍👍👍

U show staresso, I buy it. U show nanopresso, I buy it too. Now others good product.. Hhmmm... I love it! I will search or waiting till available at indonesia ;)

You can use this tool for life. It can even be passed on to your child. Titanium is very strong.

Mate I love the idea of these and was really keen as I backpack a lot but the price is way to much.

How is the Keith performing outdoors especial in terms of brewtime, handling and cleaning? :)

super product. For this price, you can drink about 5000 teas with normal bags, or 1343 coffees with ground beans in a cup. I also want one. :)

great video what cup size 450mm 750mm that you fitted the coffee bag into at the start

Really enjoy your laid back conversational style, unlike so many RU-vidrs who try to be TV presenters and celebs, so thanks. However... A) why not weigh the beans first, then you’d know you had your chosen dose when they’re all ground., and B) $199 ??! 😱 For that I would want it to come with a Sherpa to carry an espresso machine for me.

Vargo?

This much money and effort? Now that is passion for coffee! Holy smoke, it’s just coffee!

Have you seen or used a Vietnamese coffee maker?

I think you need an Aergrind instead of the Hario: www.madebyknock.com/store/p39/Aergrind It is made in the UK! My favourite outdoor coffee is the vietnamese one. The coffee maker is cheap and light, but you need (this is essentially) the very dark roasted coffee (darker than espresso) from vietnam for it.

It the price that hard for me to swallow .. i dont mind spend good money on bikepacking gear but this is just about to much i ended up just buying Titanium filler same design and added to my Titanium cup that i already had .. 19$.. still good video

I would prefer a french press. That one is way too small and not as practical as a french press. I hope Keith makes titanium french press soon.

Great review BUT I'll wait for the cost to come down a bit (hopefully).

Definitely no. A so high price for a machine which coffee comes without any cream. For me the most essential feature of coffee is cream, then flavour, then texture. I would pick Nanopresso or Handpresso instead.

:-)

Nice product but.....ouch! Expensive for half the weight of aeropress! Shame it's another product that isn't available in the UK. Dont forget your homies!

Titanium should be expensive, a lot of companies will charge extra for titanium because of marketing

220 Euro for the Keith Titanium Pour Over . WTF. Never 😬😳😂😂

No no nooopppppeee! 200 Bucks for a pour over? No way not me!

200 bucks? Are you mad?

...the price of the pour over Keith set ....is shocking!! 🤬😠😡😩👺👹

Stupid price.

200?.. ridiculous.. why buying this? Definitely not worth the money.. There are excellent other highly efficient coffee filters on the market for much less
