A picnic without coffee? Impossible! Three useful accessories
A moka pot at a picnic? Why not!
Dreaming of picnic coffee straight from a moka pot? Making it happen is surprisingly easy. All you need is a portable gas stove. These inexpensive devices work well outdoors and provide an adjustable flame for quickly heating pots and other vessels. A portable stove pairs beautifully with a moka pot. Place it over a low flame and everyone will soon be enjoying aromatic coffee. Choose a model suitable for gas stoves, such as the Moka Express, a favourite of ground-coffee lovers. These devices do not take up much space and fit easily into picnic luggage.
Drip — discover an alternative brewing method
A true coffee lover is open to new experiences and unconventional brewing methods. You can try these on a picnic too, serving your companions coffee made in an unusual way. Simply bring a modern dripper, a device for pour-over brewing. It is extremely easy to use, even for beginners. Freshly ground coffee beans are the best choice. Get the grind right: too coarse or too fine can both spoil the flavour. Ideally, the grounds should be coarser than sand, though this depends on the method. Remember that you can specify grind size when ordering coffee, ensuring it suits the job.
To brew, first rinse the paper filter with water to prevent an unpleasant papery taste. Add the grounds, then pour water in circular movements, avoiding the sides. The coffee will absorb this first water. Next, add another portion to make the brew flow into your cup or mug. Usually this is repeated three times to obtain the right amount. To surprise friends with a different brewing method, take a dripper and suitable accessories. Our shop offers an easy-to-use set with a server and a supply of filters.
Picnic cups — which should you choose?
If you plan to enjoy coffee outdoors, bring suitable vessels. Forget impractical little cups or glasses. Instead of heavy, awkward crockery, choose eco-conscious cups made from... coffee! Huskee Cups in our shop offer an alternative to paper and plastic containers. They are made using organic waste, specifically coffee husks. The natural material appeals to people seeking non-toxic drinkware, and the husks contribute useful properties.
The cups do not shatter, making them a great choice for relaxed picnics. They resist cracking and are durable enough for dishwasher cleaning. Another advantage is keeping drinks at the right temperature for longer, helping outdoor coffee stay warm. Our Huskee Cups come with lids to slow cooling. Discover how practical drinkware made using coffee waste can be. We offer 177 ml, 236 ml and 355 ml sizes, in subtle colours that emphasise their natural character. They let you surprise loved ones with an environmentally conscious and practical approach to outdoor coffee.
Organise a coffee-centred picnic for friends and prepare drinks with distinctive flavour and aroma. Alongside accessories such as Huskee Cups, drippers and moka pots, consider flavoured coffee syrups. They let you serve coffee with ginger, rose, cinnamon, vanilla, orange or salted caramel. Do not be afraid to experiment and offer something different: it will surely taste even better outdoors! Explore our current coffee accessories for the perfect picnic setup.
