This is a photo I saw some years ago that caught my attention. Espresso on a Harley. Let's not get hung up on the pros and cons of the espresso quality

Some nice setups and gourmet on the road coffee. My last camps have been pre-ground coffee and plunger coffee. We have an off-road camper trailer but usually camp on a powered site, more glamping than camping :-) Hopefully next camp will be Flair (I have just picked on up) and maybe a stick battery powered milk frother (on the shopping list) with a hand grinder as I always get cravings for proper coffee.

My travel kit for making espresso shots on the road has been made up using a Portaspresso, Rossa PG Air Espresso (Aluminium) coupled with a Knock Feldgrind grinder. (The photo shows a Hausgrind which was an earlier larger heavier version.)
All I need is boiling water from a jug if in a hotel room or a gas stove when camping or on road trips.
The pressure is provided by an air cylinder that is pumped up by hand using a bike shock pump, this allows 9 Bar extractions. The pressure control valve allows you to control pre-infusion and extraction pressure which is monitored on the gauge.

It's a custom made camper based on a Isuzu NPS 300 4WD truck chassis.Originally posted by Beanz. View PostLooks like a great setup
I would be interested in some additional information on the vehicle brand and typical fuel economy on the road and also the manufacturer of the camper
It has double the normal Tanks at 250 Litres, this gives around 1,200KM.
(about the same fuel running costs as our Landcover Discovery V8i)
The 2012 Isuzu is pre any computer or turbo, so it's simple to fix off road, very very reliable and bullet proof.
The down side is it's slow, (max $100KM/Hr and cruise at 80 - but all you need exploring).
It's truck suspension so it will shake you're fillings out off road if you don't install suspension seats.
The diesel engine and gearing give you tons of power low down for off road work but if you run empty you have to re prime the engines in these older ones.
Best of all are the exhaust assisted brakes, (it would be hard work changing gears all the time in the mountains without this option).
Variations of this type of camper regularly come up for sale on CMCA.org.
and are easy to convert.

another camping family here. I have a Jayco swan.
Mt Remarkable National Park - Mambray Creek Campground



If i'm camping somewhere with power I just take my dual boiler and grinder. If no power (like the above pics) then I have a wacaco nanopresso. I just pre grind the beans before going. May not win any awards but its better than instant.
Just bought a nespresso pod adapter for the nanopresso as the grinds was a bit fiddly and messy in the smallish confines of the van (there are 4 of us). Hopefully I can find a pod i'm happy with before easter.
