The folks at Stumptown, the renowned coffee roasters with the location in Seattle, New York and Portland, and Poler, the outdoor gear people, have made it easy with the Stumptown x Poler Camp Coffee Brew Kit. All you have to do is be lucky enough to get your hands on one of these babies and you’ll be all set to brew a cup of coffee. In the kit you’ll find two enamel custom mugs, a custom nylon travel bag, a Porlex burr hand grinder, a bag of Holler Mountain Blend, a brew guide, instructions and an Aeropress brewer, filters and accessories, you’ll be all set.

Why did they decide to do this? According to Poler and Stumptown the collaboration came as “an effort to bring together all of our favorite Stumptown-approved, tried and true camp coffee brewing equipment, combined with Poler’s cool and affordable outdoor gear–all durable and portable enough to toss in a pack or the trunk of your car and gear you up to hit the dirt.”

All you have to do is boil a pot of water on the campfire, grind up those beans of Holler Mountain Blend, then place the grinds into the Aeropress brewer and pour the coffee into the mugs — and there you have it! Two freshly brewed cups of coffee in the great outdoors. We bet you’ll feel like you’re ready to conquer the world! Or well at least the camp trails. Or, if you’re stuck at home, you can use the Stumptown X Poler Camp Coffee Brew Kit to pretend you’re out on the mountains inside a tent.
