As avid outdoor enthusiasts, we also enjoy a fresh coffee in the great outdoors from time to time. Eichenwerk’s great concept proves that you can even enjoy real pleasure and high quality: takeaway coffee bags. We tried our way through the range.

There are moments when you want to enjoy a cup of coffee outdoors, alone or with others. After a mountain climb, while bushcrafting or doing sports. If you’re not convinced by instant coffee and don’t want to give up valuable space for a coffee maker in your rucksack, you’ll be delighted with the coffee bags from Eichenwerk.

The Eichenwerk team around Amy 9×19 and Heinz Eichinger through. They opted for three varieties: the coffee from Peru on the “Range” is mild and fruity, while the “Outdoor” coffee bag and coffee from Brazil are convincingly full-bodied. Finally, the coffee from El Salvador, which promises us a feeling of “home”, is rather caramelly.

Freshly made

The actual coffee bag is aromatically well protected in the coffee bag. Take it and stretch the side wings over the yeast. If you don’t necessarily drink three quarters of a liter of coffee at a time, you’re better off choosing a lower container. This also makes further operation very easy. The coffee bag is then carefully torn open at the upper, pre-perforated side and the freshly boiled water can be poured in. Carefully, of course, and not too much at once.

This is where the real magic begins: unlike in closed systems, where you can only get a rough idea of the intensity of the coffee from the brewing time, here you have a full insight into the brewing process. You can also take sample sips. After the brewing process, it’s just as easy and convenient to continue. The bag is quickly removed and just as easily disposed of. Forest dwellers take the leftovers back with them, of course, and the compost at home is happy to receive them.

Ranger conclusion: We drank the coffee in the mountains during the first snow of the season, enjoyed it after long days of bushcrafting and treated ourselves to the odd warming and motivating cup of coffee. Also on our trip “3 days + 2 nights = 1 adventure”, which you can read about in the second issue of Ranger Magazine (-> click here to subscribe), he was a welcome guest at breakfast. We are now quite sure that once you have found your own favorite flavors, you will hardly be able to leave the practical bags behind. They are an integral part of our outdoor cooking set. You never know when you’ll need the coffee bags again.
