SupporterGreat read!
I have a rule that I don’t make my own coffee. I’m a self-confessed metro café lurker (addict?) who drinks too much and sometimes makes vast inexplicable detours, much to the annoyance of the wife and lodgers, to achieve my daily fix from a suitably hipster joint. Yes, sad I know… but everyone gotta have a vice.
The wife got me an AeroPress plus Porlex hand grinder for Christmas, mainly for use as a camping set-up. Wow! No longer do I need to rely on the corrugated cardboard cups of milky grey misery that is the ‘take it or leave’ it choice of regional WA!
I also bought myself a stainless steel frothing jug plus $10 battery milk frother.
It’s a cheap set-up ($150) that produces seriously credible coffee.

I've just got the porlex. Was thinking of using a drill to drive it rather than the handle. Is that the height of laziness?
Master
SupporterNo, i've considered same... but dont carry a drill and kind of think that the bean-grinding is sort of a zen moment in the coffee-making process, with only the determined rewarded
I'm glad its not just me faffing around like this by the way!

Tossing up whether to get the modern version of the atomic or the bellman. Both do milk frothing.
I currently use an allessi stove top. Works pretty well (not expresso - more turkish). Keen to try it with fresh ground beans.

SubscriberSerious question: How do you manage on days of total fire ban... not a joke. I carry a variety of "heating things" in a compact wooden box... Firstly there's a small tin folding "stove" for use with hex tablets which I souveniredfrom the school cadet corps (1961); a 'dragonfly' pressure pump hiking stove; a Borde "bomb" stove (1968 purchase) which is a stainless steel tube you fill with petrol or shellite attached to a coil and needle valve; a Kelly kettle and a Woolworths special $15 dual burner stove which uses disposable propane cans which come in $4 packs for 4 and seem to last a long time.... and a 100w immersion heater (1974) with a std 'cigar' type plug which goes into the auxiliary power socket... purchased 40 yrs ago for warming baby's bottle on a long trip ....choices, choices...
I was dying for a brew on a recent trip to Sydney and was prepared to pull over into one of those well developed rest stops ...but I'd passed a sign which advised high fire danger and so I thought better of it. Later on it seemed that the risk with a stove was minimal... but you never know whom you might upset so I desisted...
Can anyone advise what's acceptable and what's not?

Yeah. Total fire ban days you'd have to have an electric heater. Othrrwise you're pretty stuffed aren't you.Serious question: How do you manage on days of total fire ban... not a joke.
