DUFF MONSTER

Spike Camp Coffee is built for the wildland community. The people who drink their coffee on tailgates, firelines, and logging roads. Not in cafés.

Small batch. Roasted to order. We give a damn about every detail so you don't have to. Hot water and a cup is all you need.

Duff isn't just a soft springy forest floor. It's the deep organic layer that burns slow and invisible underground. Its a slow creeping stubbon beast that can go unnoticed for long periods of time and it shows up when you least expect it.

That's the energy behind this roast. A slow-burn kind of strong that doesn't announce itself. It just keeps you moving until you realize you haven't thought about stopping.

Duff Monster is medium-coarse ground. Built to run clean across camp percolators, Jetboil Coffee Presses, French presses, AeroPress, and camp drip machines.

All ratios below are based on a standard 8oz camp mug. If your mug runs larger, add half a tablespoon per extra 4oz.

Camp Percolator
2 heaping tablespoons per 8oz of water. Medium heat until it perks, then drop to low. Brew 6 to 8 minutes. Pull it when the color looks right. Dark roast holds up on camp heat without going harsh.

Jetboil Coffee Press
1 to 2 heaping tablespoons per 8oz depending on how hard you want it. Turn the flame off before adding coffee. Steep 4 minutes. Press slow. Pour direct.

French Press
2 tablespoons per 8oz of water. Heat to near boil. Steep 4 minutes. Press slow.

AeroPress
3 tablespoons per 8oz of water. Medium-coarse grind needs a longer steep than a fine grind. Give it 2 full minutes before pressing. Press steady and slow.

Camp Drip Machine
1.5 tablespoons per 8oz of water. The machine does the work.

Note on strength: all ratios above produce a standard bold cup. Add half a tablespoon more per serving if you want it stronger. Start there and adjust to your setup.
