Coffee Home Direct Brings Luxury to the Woods

What is it about coffee consumed outside of your tent, around a campfire, in the cool fog of a mountain morning that makes it taste so much better than if you were in the kitchen or a coffee shop? Is it the atmosphere? Is it a comfort that reminds us of home?

I have been a loyal servant of the coffee industry for the last several years, sometimes stringing my consumption into the late afternoon. But there is something about being in the woods, getting ready to start the day for a hike, canoe or kayak trip, which makes your average cup of Joe taste like Christmas morning. I use the Folgers instant coffee: boil water and stir in packet contents (coffee). Simple as that.

For the uber-serious coffee drinkers, who need more than just a cup of the instant stuff, Coffee Home Direct now offers an assortment of coffee makers suitable for the outdoors. From the French Press to the Handpresso Espresso, they brew up some durable, eco-friendly and stylish products for the coffee-crazed enthusiast who can’t do with out their morning, or afternoon, caffeine kick.

It didn’t take long for me, following in my father’s footsteps (literally), to develop a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Because it’s there in the wind, in the rain and a cool summer sunrise where I’ve learned more than in all the classrooms combined. My journalistic work is the sum of all I’ve taken from the outdoors and all I want to give back.

It was during a long, grueling two-year stint working as a banker in Huntsville, Alabama, I finally realized I needed to follow my dreams. After sojourning several places across the country, I now call Asheville, North Carolina, home, where I am the co-founder, publisher and editor of The Golf Sport (www.golfsportmag.com) magazine and editor of Sporting Classics Daily (www.sportingclassicsdaily.com). I am also a contributor to OutdoorHub and Global Outfitters, and hope to really inflate that balloon over the next couple years.

For me, it’s the power of the pen that makes the outdoor adventure live forever – as it is resurrected on the page in front of me. I am so fortunate to be a part of the outdoor community and make my passion a career.
