There’s a moment on a woodland morning when the kettle’s on, the tarp’s still dripping and you’ve got five minutes to sit and enjoy where you are. The Wacaco Prestina makes a full-bodied cup of coffee from the water you’ve already put on to boil.
The clever bit is that the drinking cup doubles as the press. Add medium-ground coffee and hot water from your billy can or camp kettle, give it a stir and let it steep. Then press down by hand and the coffee flows into the cup below. A built-in valve holds the brew while it steeps, and the reusable stainless steel filter lets the coffee’s natural oils through for a richer cup.
For a long day in the hills, tuck the Prestina into your rucksack with a lightweight stove and enough ground coffee for a brew. Find a sheltered spot out of the wind, press a fresh cup and take a few minutes to enjoy the view before you shoulder your pack again.
At 254g and 134mm tall, the Prestina tucks neatly into a brew kit for woodland overnighters, canoe trips and coffee stops on a day walk. Once you’ve finished, tip the grounds into your waste bag, rinse the brewer and pack it away.

Great coffee outdoors doesn’t need to be complex, unless you’re talking about the depth of flavour!
