An Espresso Maker for Campers and Glampers
For the seasoned camper who has it all — OR the person who likes the idea of camping more than, you know, hiking/getting dirty/roughing it — this aesthetically pleasing, campfire-ready espresso maker is the perfect gift.
IU Tripp in Oak Hill has a few of these in stock for a cool $45 plus $10 for the cup (it's a small appliance, not a trinket, people!) and you can contact the shop via Facebook if you want to have one shipped. Pair it with some fine coffee beans from the DeWitt (also available at IU Tripp) and a gift card from Tentrr, a company that sets up a campsite for you, complete with a canvas tent, a woodstove, and other creature comforts. Tentrr now has campsites available on the grounds of the old Catskill Game Farm, which almost makes me want to go camping. (But not really. I like my double-wide.)
And when your little camping trip is over, this little blue espresso maker will look great on the rustic, found-wood, open shelving in your streamlined urban kitchen! Win-win!
I.U. Tripp is located at 7892 State Route 81 in Oak Hill, New York; 518-239-8217. Follow their regularly updated Facebook page for more information and call if you're interested in shipping a gift.
