Introduction: Light on the go – but not without my coffee

Robust French Press

Anyone who's ever undertaken a multi-day hike knows the dilemma: Every extra gram in your backpack can become a burden over long distances. That's why many hikers follow the motto "pack as light as possible." As a coffee lover, however, I didn't want to miss out on my morning coffee, even on my last solo trek. The solution? The Titan French Press – a little surprise that enhanced my trip without adding the slightest weight.

Why Titan is the game changer for outdoor adventures

Titanium is not only a noble material, but also almost legendary in the outdoor world. But what makes it so special?

  • Extremely lightweight : Titanium has one of the best weight-to-strength ratios of any metal. The Camping French Press weighs less than 200g—barely heavier than a water bottle and significantly lighter than comparable stainless steel products.
  • Robust and durable : Despite its light weight, titanium is extremely durable. Even after several days in a backpack, wedged between gear and provisions, the French press showed no scratches or dents.
  • Taste-neutral : Unlike aluminum, titanium doesn't affect the taste of beverages. My coffee tasted just as good as it does at home—full-bodied and aromatic.

My experience: Comfort without compromise

On my last hike, I wanted to keep everything as minimalist as possible. I deliberately chose lightweight gear—from my sleeping bag to my cooking equipment. However, I still felt the need to bring something that would offer me a touch of comfort even in the wilderness. The outdoor coffee maker was just the thing:

  • No noticeable weight : After the first 10 kilometers, when I set up camp and unpacked the French press, I was surprised - I hadn't even noticed it during the entire march.
  • Ready for action quickly : I heated water with my small gas stove, filled it into the French press and a few minutes later enjoyed a hot, freshly brewed coffee – in the middle of the wilderness, surrounded by nothing but nature.
  • Versatility : In addition to coffee, I also made tea and simple soups. Thanks to its heat resistance, I could place the French press directly on the gas stove—a feature that was especially helpful in cold weather.

Conclusion: Lightweight, versatile and indispensable

For me, the Titan French Press isn't just a coffee maker, but a symbol that you don't have to miss out on little pleasures while on the go. It's so light that it doesn't make a noticeable difference in weight, yet so functional that it significantly enhances the outdoor experience.
