Coral reefs play a very important role in keeping our oceans clean. Just like plants and trees keep our planet land alive and clean, so do coral reefs keep our oceans alive as well. Sadly over the years, the lifestyle that we live has caused a great damage to the coral reefs in our oceans.

Family camping can mean having to cook. There is nothing wrong with that. I love to cook especially outdoors. Sitting by the campfire enjoying a delicious camp-made meal with my family, laughing and talking about the exciting things we did that day can be a highlight moment for us and our kids.

Without the convenience of a coffee maker outdoors, I can say we are lucky to live in a creative world where coffee outdoors is now easier than ever to make. From instant coffees, to outdoor coffee presses and now the best pour over coffee out there, you can rest assured that in the morning you will have a delicious cup of coffee with Coffee Blenders to start your day
