  • I'd probably just put prepared hot coffee in a flask. Brewing fresh in an aeropress with under-temp water will probably have similar mediocrity as 12 hour thermos coffee but with more dicking about, unless you're really keen on the process. It's not like you're having eggs benny on the terrace on a sunday morning - you'll just be after a reasonably tasty caffeine hit rather than pursuing the Nth degree of quality won't you?

    the trouble with that is when i run out i have to brew more which eats into my rest stop time, with concentrate i can make up a ton and the only prep beyond that is to fill and boil a kettle during my dinner and breakfast stops. add in aeropress to that and I burn another 3-4 minutes time and time is probably going to be super tight to achieve my target distance.

    yeah this is my thought exactly on pre-preparing it. saw some blog posts about making a concentrate and thought i'd see if anyone had any successes with it here.

  • Do what Mick said and make a litre of cold brew. If you brew it for 12 hours then you can drink it 50/50 with water, hot or cold, and it will give you a proper caffeine hit.
