  • I've been using the Jetboil Flash Java kit on every camping trip I've taken in the last three years. This Jetboil Flash Java Kit review is based on hundreds of nights and mornings in the backcountry. I've made countless cups of camping coffee as well as dehydrated camping meals with this setup and I can say unequivocally that it is one of my favorite and most indispensable pieces of motorcycle camping gear.

    The Jetboil Flash Java Kit allows you to make french press coffee while camping, but it can also be used to quickly heat up water for instant coffee and you can go from cold water to hot coffee in just about 3 minutes flat using that method.
    Whether you're motorcycle camping, car camping, or just enjoying a quick cup of coffee in the backcountry, the Jetboil Flash (and Java Kit) is a compact, lightweight, self-contained way to heat water as quickly as possible.

    I got this same kit as a free gift from my job last year and it was my first jetboil. As a person who grew up camping and waiting for water to boil while you're freezing your butt off in the morning, it's a shockingly impactful quality of life improvement I didn't realize I was missing out on.

    If you don’t have enough paper towels to dry the cup. Just throw your pot back onto the burner and run it for like 30 seconds and dry it off like a cast iron pan. Avoid the rust

    @blacknight7201 Před 2 měsíci

    I suggest you put the pot on the burner BEFORE opening the gas valve and using the lighter. that will help the spark hit the gas faster.
    Also, I cover my pot when boiling water. That also makes water boil faster.

    I've had mine since2007-08. It has become an indispensable part of my camping gear. I just came back from a 2 week camping trip in AZ. It was my only cooking source.
    Mine is the original. So no bells or whistles.
    Gotta have matches and no heat gauge.
    Gotta watch it like a hawk.
    When you're using a jet boil, that is all you're doing.
    I dare you to try do anything else without having a boil-over. 😅

  • @wanderlpnw
    @wanderlpnw Před 2 měsíci

    Protip from backpacking friends: the ignitor will bend easily when you stack everything inside it. You can cut out a piece of tp roll cardboard to protect it. That may be your problem lighting. I've never had any issues.
    I bring it along on hotel trips to make tea. It's so quick.

    The auto igniters on larger/ two burner propane stoves usually work fine, but on single burner backpacking stoves they just suck. Allegedly, in my own super professional especially anecdotal opinion.

Squirt a little fuel in the depression by the burner, light that , builds a little pressure in the stove, light stove and viola, HEAT! Definitely more exciting.😊
