Best Instant Coffee For Backpacking and Camping - (Instant Coffee Review)
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 2 lety
Instant coffee is a great addition to take on your hiking, backpacking, and camping trips. It's lightweight, easy to pack, and can start your day on the right track. I tried 6 types of instant coffee to find out which one was the best. The one that came out on top definitely surprised me. Check out my other video, Cheap and Easy Hiking Food - Tasty Grocery Store Snacks and Meals For the Trail. ...
Cheap and Easy Hiking Food - Tasty Grocery Store Snacks and Meals For the Trail
zhlédnutí 203Před 2 lety
These 7 meals are easy, cheap, healthy, and lightweight. Most of these meals came to less than $5. I found most of the ingredients at Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and Big Lots. This isn't your stereotypical dehydrated hiking food. You can find these meals and snacks at the grocery store. They pack easily into your backpack, don't make a mess, and are ready in less than 10 minutes.

    You poured only a little of each package into each jar, then put approximate amounts of water in it. That's not a good way to judge how good the product is, if you made it according to directions.. You should pour water into the packaging also, for a fair test of how it's going to hydrate on the trail. And like others said, taste test similar dishes, otherwise you really aren't giving information we can use.

    My wife and I bought 8 instant coffees to taste test, and after 2 tests on 2 different days, we agreed on a 3-way tie for 1st place between Aldi, Cafe Bustelo and Taster's Choice French Roast. Cafe Bustelo was nutty and bolder than the rest, Taster's Choice was the closest flavor to fresh brewed coffee, and Aldi was the least bitter and least offensive cup, so just a good general-purpose instant coffee. 2nd place was Nescafe Clasico Dark, which was good but tastes kind of ashy, and 3rd was Folgers Classic, which just reminds me of cheap dinner coffee (because it is). Clover Valley (Dollar General) didn't qualify because it tastes just like Cafe Bustelo, but at 1 level tsp per 6oz water, it tasted weaker than Cafe Bustelo at the same concentration. Trader Joe's Columbian also didn't qualify because it was relatively mild and kind of bland.

    yeah in my opinion instant coffee takes just a tea spoon of coffee to 6 to 8 oz cup of water stir till desulved then nuke the cup add flavoring to taste and walla your done , regular coffee cost way more and you need a coffee maker and it takes up alot of time . when instant coffee taste just as good if not better just sayin

  • @terryplunger9170

    I bought a 3 oz jar of Nescafe Clasico a few weeks ago. I used to buy bottled Ice Coffee, (I prefer iced to hot). It is almost as good as the bottled iced coffee that I used to spend seven bucks on.

    I'm furious because I just now found out that Cafe Bustelo has sugar and carbohydrates when it should be 0g. And by not having a nutrition value label on the product that literally says it all.

  • @warrenhoffman653

    I’m surprised regular Nescafé beat out Tasters Choice. Both made by the same company.

  • @markjones127
    @markjones127 Před 4 měsíci

    Best I've found so far is Nescafe Amero Americano, that's pretty good, on short trips though I still pack the Aeropress.

    • @markjones127
      @markjones127 Před měsícem

      I just saw you'd liked this comment so felt I should update, my coffee tastes have changed since I made that comment, I'm now a light roast, more acidic and fruity coffee lover so the search for a decent instant starts again, the one I mentioned just tastes muddy to me now but I fear most instants are going to be based off a traditional dark roast, which I'm just not enjoying as much these days.

  • @leodanryan966
    @leodanryan966 Před 4 měsíci

    Mountain house are not dehydrated, but freeze dried which is a much different process and shelf stable for much longer. We're at the beginning of the video, so I'm certain that you will probably make this error more times during the video. It's really important to differentiate between dehydrated and freeze dried. Also, the blue mountain house bags are the pro pack meals and are higher in calories than the regular adventure meals.

    The only opportunity I see with this video is that you used a different type of meal from each company. You should have used the same type of meal across the board and then given an opinion. In my experience most people stick to the basic meal types. Like breakfast skillets and stroganoff. Y’all went off course with those Asian and curry meals.

  • @danrussell_official

    Nothing wrong with the Nescafé clasico! I honestly drink it at home when I want something comforting - and I usually otherwise drink fancier pour over coffee

    I’ve had the regular Bustelo with an expresso pot and the instant. They taste the same to me. Cafe La llave expresso is the best

  • @chriss1757
    @chriss1757 Před 8 měsíci

    How can you not pronounce Nescafe correctly? I would think on the trail the individual packets would have an advantage over even a plastic jar just in terms of packability.

    • @outsidewithanna

      I'm not perfect, but yes, I agree the packets would be the best for hiking or backpacking. Thanks for watching! 🙂

    Nescafe Classico is always in my cabinet for when I just need a quick cup. Add a little cold water and mix the grounds before adding the hot water. I think it makes a smoother cup.

  • @djcrashtest2000
    @djcrashtest2000 Před 9 měsíci

    She sounds controlling.... But anyways... If you're comparing brands, stick to the same flavors. Plus...You only tried ONE flavor per brand. That curry flavor may not have tasted the best, but it (and the brand) could've offered the most/best nutrients and calories.
