Propane Coffee Maker Kind Of Misses The Point Of Camping

Outdoor gear manufacturer Coleman was just trying to do a nice thing by creating the Portable Propane Coffee Maker. It works like the machine in your kitchen, using only water, a filter and some coffee grounds. Oh, and a tank of propane.

Coleman says that you, “no longer have to leave the comforts of home to enjoy the great outdoors.” And there’s no better way to bask in nature’s glory than by waiting 18 minutes for coffee to brew. Right?

At least the coffee maker is cordless. It might as well be if you’re going to leak propane all over the Earth’s undisturbed beauty. [Cool Material]

    And those style of coffee makers kind of miss the point of drinking coffee.

    OK I was semi excited by the headline then I saw it is one of those drip-style goats urine makers that Americans use as a form of self flagellation. Doh! Now if it was an espresso machine and it ran on those aerosol-style propane cans …
