Thanks Christopher. Yeah, hand grinding can take a while even at home, I can only imagine how hard it would be to do at a production level. I'm a homebrewer(beer) and when I buy grains at the homebrew store they mill them with a hand mill attached to a power drill. I know coffee grinding requires more accuracy than milling grains but I don't know why the same approach wouldn't work. I'll try the hand grinder (Skerton) attached to a battery powered drill as soon as I get a chance and let you…

I'll either wreck my grinder or I'll find a good way to grind quickly while on the go.

<p>We do straight pourover at events and don't want to rely on electricity, so we use: double camp stove burner hooked up to the smaller sized refillable propane tank. A bpa free water container (around 5 gal) filled with filtered water. And have two water kettles boiling at the same time so we don't run out of hot water. Pour the regular kettle into the buono kettle for pourover. Unfortunately without electricity we have to pre-grind the beans as close to go-time as possible.…</p>

<p>Jetboils are cool. I take one on motorcycle trips as they are tidy and quite compact. My inverter is 1500 watts and I use an old bodum kettle I've had since college. It take about 3 or 4 minutes for a boil. I've also run my laptop at the same time.</p>

<p>I was lucky and got the inverter at a garage sale for $10 about 5 years ago. I can't imagine actually paying full price.</p>

<p>Melanie, how much power does your kettle require? My kettle is 1500watt, 120volts and it heats 1 liter in about 4 minutes. I think I would need a much larger inverter to power it. But I don't really know how those inverters work so I may be wrong. All of the low watt kettles I have seen take 15 to 30 minutes to heat a liter of water.</p>

Faster than you can grind beans with a skerton! It will heat 16oz to boil in rougly 3 minutes with white gas, a little longer with high octane gasoline. If you've never used white gas stoves make sure that you read the directions carefully and practice in a place where you can't burn anything down! <br></br>

Thanks for the reply Tom. That sounds like a killer on-the-road set up. I wish I could set up something like that in my car but for now I have to settle for something a little smaller scale. I was thinking more along the lines of an electric water kettle and a pour over.
