I took the coffee press with me in my jetboil on a hiking trip out to Montana a few years ago and the coffee grounds got all in the water when I pushed it down. I never knew I had it on backwards until just reading this post! Just tried it the right way and barely any grounds. Imagine that! All this time I had no idea. Thank you Quentin for pointing that out.
@Paul Taylor, a good solution to getting grounds in your coffee is to avoid buying ground coffee. It's too fine for the press. Instead, buy the whole beans, and then ground them coarsely. The stores that sell whole beans usually have grinders. Just turn the knob to "coarse", and then grind away. Because the grains are much bigger, you need to let the coffee soak longer. But they won't get past the press.
Thank you for showing the entire proces, not just the coffee part, but also setting up the jetboil, will be using it on my hiking trip throughout Norway this summer.
Dude I’m the French Press Coffee master and was excited watching you use the Jetboil. I just got mine today and can’t wait to try it out. If you want delicious coffee, you need to add about 6 of the spoonfuls you used. You only used two and the color was like weak tea rather than coffee. I French Press my coffee every morning and use three scoops of my scoop spoon which looks to hold about twice as much as your little teaspoon. Give it a try.
Thanks Herbiesnerd! I’m in total agreement. There was an edit where I didn’t show all of the spoonfuls I used, to keep the video shorter. I actually added about 6 spoonfuls. You are so right. That amount makes perfect coffee ☕️!
Luke's HomeTube I just got my jetboil the other day with the French press. Still waiting for the fuel canister to arrive. Looking forward to using it soon. All our brush fire engines have jetboils and at 5:00 AM after sleeping in the cab all night after fighting a fire the entire day before, it was amazing to get coffee going in the middle of nowhere. All the guys love it.
These really do work great for camping. It helps you get that much needed coffee faster in the morning and even quicker if you like it black too. Thanks!
Hey, Luke. Thanks for posting this video. I was in my local REI tonight, sifting through the various types of backpacking (actually to be used for bikepacking and road cycle touring) stoves and systems and decided that I needed to do my homework before investing in either. After a couple hours of research, I have been favoring the Jetboil Flash, and with this coffee press, I'm now sold for sure. LOL! It's also got some very nice features, like the faster boil time, the system seems to be very well thought out and well constructed, and now with this cool coffee press feature ... it's all looks awesome. Thanks again, man. Very helpful info.
Hey Bruin, I’m glad you enjoyed my video. Bikepacking sounds amazing! Yes, I’m a very happy customer with the Jetboil. And especially happy with the coffee press. Hopefully, you have a great experience with it too!
Jetboil suggest starting the flame before mounting the cup, and also to cut off the fuel once the side has gone orange for coffee. Thanks for the vid! going to buy one this weekend
Glad you like the vid! It’s good to know. I just don’t want to put my hands close to the flame after it’s lit. But I’m sure there are safe ways to do it. Thanks DieRunning1!
I tried everything to prevent having coffee grounds get past the press, and into my coffee. And nothing worked. Until my genius friend (no, I'm not kidding) took one look, and suggested that I try buying whole beans, rather than ground, so I could grind my coffee coarse. And it worked! But when the grounds are coarse (much bigger), you have to let them soak longer. But that's a small price to pay for not having grains in my coffee cup.
Thanks so much for this. It was nice and slow for me. Lol. I just got my Flash and can’t wait to try it! Just wondering about the plastic lid. Wont it melt if u put it on while boiling?
I bought mine on Amazon. Here’s the link: Jetboil French Press Coffee Maker for Jetboil Camping Stoves, (2019), Grande www.amazon.com/dp/B00MUYTOA6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_KGaXFb3MVDBAK
That’s so exciting! The JetBoil is great for van life. It’s an easy way to get quick coffee or even meals for that matter when you want to keep it easy. I’ve even used it with other coffee presses just to boil the water quickly.
Tested mine for the first time and quite a lot of the coffee grounds get through. It’ll work in a pinch or for a quick morning hike, but I was expecting better.
Luke, great vid. love pressed coffee. I have used my original Jetboil and their press for many years on Motorcycle camping trips. The major bummer about the press is the mess at the end to clean up. Plus after using the cup many times, it became stained and my wife said stuff we cooked in it had coffee flavor. I eventually purchased a spare cup for cooking. Then last year or so I came across the MyJo by Presto. Its cheap, uses K cups and no mess. I think if you try it, you may find it one of the best camp coffee combinations there is! You have a cool channel! I subbed.
Oh my a campground for tents instead of RVs. How lovely. Is the jetboil pot portion made out of stainless steel or aluminum? How much boiling time to you get out of one canister? And where can you buy the canisters, anywhere like Walmart? Thanks for the video. I've been debating whether to buy this item.
There were mainly tent around us but I think they have some RVs too. It was at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. From what I found, the pot is made up of Aluminum with a stainless steel burner. It all depends on the fuel size in the canister. But i think the smaller 250g cans last around 70 minutes of cooking time. Which should be about 7 days depending on the amount of use. Yes, you can buy the fuel canisters almost anywhere with outdoor equipment (REI, walmart, amazon, etc.). I really like it because i just need quick hot water. It does a great job achieving that goal.
MW Radz lmao no it is not defective! When you pop the seal by screen it on there it allows some of the gas to escape before being completely tightened duh! Common sense goes a long ways
Firat off you have your coffee filter screen upside down. You said only steep for 1 minute, you have to for at least 4 minutes. My experience is if using 2 cups or a half liter of water you'll want to use 40 grams of coarse coffee grinds. Just saying a spoonful or 6 spoonfuls could be different for anyone. Your coffee will be so good.
Yes, there are a lot of options in this space. The jetboil may be best for backpacking and light weight gear trips but I’d like to try out your options sometime too.
No disrespect to you but that coffee looks like tea,, I would have used Four Scoops and then the Steep go for at least 4 or 5 min.. but good job on a video otherwise!
2000xlt I actually used 6 scoops. But I edited the sequence to keep the overall video shorter. I’m now regretting editing that part with all of the huge coffee buffs. Thanks for checking it out!
It really amuses me that Americans don't know how to use a plunger to make proper coffee to the extent that videos like this are necessary. You really need to get away from brewed coffee. I was in Merced, California on holiday and at a cafe, the waitress took my order and I ordered a cappucino. She stared at me like I was an alien.
This is a simple video! No need of unnecessary talk thanks! Perfecto!

Thanks for the good instructions! Can't wait to use it when I go backpacking in a couple weeks
Just what I needed for my 1st time Flash Jetboil User. Great Job👏👏👏
Glad it was what you needed. Thanks Ben.
Good stuff, my buddy has one we use when we camp. A little tricky at first but it works great and I like my coffee black also.

Website suggests keeping the fingers of the screen down when pushing grounds down
Your filter was upside-down
Buen video, simple y práctica forma de explicar.
Muchas gracias Merardo!
What is up my brother from South Korea 🇰🇷 wow
What up Mintfelix in South Korea! 👍
Nice man 👌
Thanks so much for this. It was nice and slow for me. Lol. I just got my Flash and can’t wait to try it! Just wondering about the plastic lid. Wont it melt if u put it on while boiling?
No prob. The plastic lid seems to hold up fine. Have you had a chance to try out your Flash yet? They really are great. Thanks Rachel!
Just make sure you put the coffee filter screen on right. This guy had it upside down
What is the coffee press that you used called? Thank you
It’s called the Jetboil French Press Coffee Maker for Jetboil camping and backpacking stoves.

@@LukesHomeTube Thank you!!
very light coffee
It was edited to keep the video shorter. I used about 6 scoops in actuality.
Thank you. You showed the part I was doing wrong.
Glad it helped you figure it out!
nice video. This convince me to buy the coffee press.
That’s great! I hope you enjoy it on your next exciting adventures!
Good video🎬. I love Jetboil❤️Greetings from Norway🇳🇴
Thanks so much PhotoComboMix! They’re really great. Hello Norway 🇳🇴!
Thanks for video. I was doing it wrong.
Did you do a cleaning it video? Looking
Not yet. I’ve really just rinsed it down after each use. But it may be worth doing one on the more elaborate cleanings done on occasion.
@@LukesHomeTube sounds good..I will watch..I'm looking for a quick low maintenance coffee maker..about to go fulltime van living : )
That’s so exciting! The JetBoil is great for van life. It’s an easy way to get quick coffee or even meals for that matter when you want to keep it easy. I’ve even used it with other coffee presses just to boil the water quickly.
@@LukesHomeTube will definitely look into this jet boil..and it does food too! Definitely I will get one
You also attached the filter upside down.
You may be right. Either way works fine though.
Nice Video. I am glad you drink your coffee black. BTW, do you know who puts cream and sugar in their coffee? People that don't like coffee.
You’re right, black is the best way to enjoy the taste. Thanks!
What’s your preferred brewing length and amount for normal not “tough guy” black coffee 😂?
😂 I would say 3-5mins is fine. What do you think?
@@LukesHomeTube I just got mine the other day. Yet to try it out. Thanks for the reply
Thanks dude! 😎
For sure!
@@LukesHomeTube I actually ordered one at REI after watching your video clip. 😎
Your plunger is upside down the teeth side is suppose go down first.
I’ll have to try that out. Thanks.
I'll try it too. For the price of the plunger, I thought it worked like sht
@@LukesHomeTube lol try reading the instructions first 🤣
I came here to say this
Can you link what you have ????
i love jetboil! and i love coffee. i just dont have Coffe press yet. :( dunno where i can buy it here in the phils.
I’m sure they will have options there soon! The Phils are changing so quick!
Tested mine for the first time and quite a lot of the coffee grounds get through. It’ll work in a pinch or for a quick morning hike, but I was expecting better.
Sorry to hear that. Mine doesn’t let hardly any (if any) grinds through.
CMDR Fly Auburn If you put it on correctly and not the way he put it on you won’t have an issue.
A press makes great coffee.....Much better than instant -- Especially when camping !!!
K. Zeke Swaringen so true! Thanks!

He has the plunger on upside down.
I know. What’s his problem?
When I screw the canister on to my jetboil i hear a hissing noise? Does this mean I have a defective fuel canister or jetboil unit?
You could try another fuel canister to find out which one is the issue.
Luke's HomeTube ok I will, I did buy two with my new jetboil. I spare.
MW Radz lmao no it is not defective! When you pop the seal by screen it on there it allows some of the gas to escape before being completely tightened duh! Common sense goes a long ways
Kevin Martin ..yes it is working fine
What cup is that
The cup is part of the Stanley Adventure camp two cup cook set.
Thanks heaps :)
You’re so welcome!
That's tea...
FYI - The instruction say to always ignite burner then placing pot or cup on burner.
I won’t be following that part of the instructions. I’m sure there’s a reason. Sounds like a good way to get burned.

Regular
Bottom of press was upside down! Ha!

@@LukesHomeTube You will get almost zero grounds thru the other way, but a, it works

Yes, there are a lot of options in this space. The jetboil may be best for backpacking and light weight gear trips but I’d like to try out your options sometime too.
Your Press Was Upside Down. Lip Goes Down, You Had It Up.
Thanks for the info.
@@LukesHomeTube Sorry Bud, After I Said That, I Saw That Others Had Said It Before Me,

Upside down dude
I also like my Coffee Black like my Women. Black, Hot, and Bitter, the Bitter the Better.
but dude there is no coffee in the press ????

Dude doesn’t know what he’s doing , misinforming the masses lmfao. BDE
That was the weakest coffee I've ever seen.
There were more scoops, just edited them out to save time. Lesson learned. Don’t cut that out when making coffee or else 😅
Da italiano nn lo berrei mai ..
geat video~! but why make coffee that weak
Fire maple is just as good bj rip off
Did jetboil forget that instant coffee exists?

That’s some weak ass coffee
Take a break on drinking, your hands are shaky
Either the coffee or my nerves of steel. ;)
Dude was ready for Coffee !!
Why not just bring instant coffee?
The taste is so much better when it’s brewed.
Matthew Sacco Because instant coffee taste like crap
If you need a coffee press while camping you're a hitch. Stay home and go to Starbucks. Smh
