Nescafe Clasico Individual packs. Best instant out there IMHO.

As the propaganda reads:

"NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™ is the leading coffee for Latinos in the U.S. It is 100% pure coffee, made from a blend of selected coffee beans, carefully roasted to capture its full flavor and aroma. NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™ has a unique taste and is a familiar "cafecito" that Latino consumers know and love from home. "

I have been using an 'msr commuter press' for a while now. Its half way between an aeropress and a cafetiere. Easy to clean. Doesn't need extra filters, makes a decent brew and stay warm for long enough. The only downside is that the lid is not sealed. I got mine for about £14 when it was on special offer.

This from a friend upon witnessing me trying to perform simple tasks in the morning without the aid of a cup of coffee.

I have a wicked little MSR stove and a kettle, but I have just realised that my simple dream of a morning cup of real coffee in a remote and exotic location is under threat. The plungers you buy in supermarkets are glass or pyrex, and can break.

I have seen stainless plungers, but I was wondering what everyone else does for that morning boost, and also whether I can really justify taking a plunger and coffee at the expense of something 'more necessary'?

Hola!

I carry a small Bodum Kenia (french press)... the glass was replaced by "unbreakeable plastic" :)

I use the coffe-pot for the trangia 27, it works well enough for me. I prefer a grind for boiling coffe, but any grind will suffice. Otherwise, I always try to check out the local coffe when possible ...

Check out the Zyliss Cafetiere Coffee Filter Mug

It seems to do the trick.

A thread running for 10 years on the subject on making coffee on the road - awesome :D:D:D:D

My 2p worth - Starbucks do a dried coffee in a small tin http://www.amazon.co.uk/Starbucks-VI..._bxgy_kh_img_y

It's 'super concentrated' so a 24 serving tin fits inside your drinking mug with plenty of room to spare - in fact i can get two tins (or over a months supply) into my travelling mug.

It may not be 'real' coffee but, for me, it tastes fine, is easy to make, and does not take a lot of space - great for bike camping trips.

Ahhhhh Coffee!
 
in the woods and on the road I use a GSI Outdoor 50 ounce Java press, love it!! Been dropped quite a few times, no cracks or chips, works great, really easy and most importantly makes FIFTY OUNCES at a time!!:D:clap:

I searched and didn't see the Ortlieb filter.

When I turned 50 my body said I needed paper-filtered coffee. Most of the collapsable filter holders have huge drain holes or even all screen so they make coffee weaker than I like.

The Ortlieb filter holder has a tiny hole and makes good, strong coffee. It folds flat, or about 2 millimeters thick, although a month's supply of filters takes another 6 or 7 mm.

Smart Cafe

Touring Ted gave me his Smart café - Hot Mug out of his camping kit while I was touring the UK last year. This has to be the easiest, most versatile and compact way to make a cuppa while on the road. I have to agree Pongo, absolutely brilliant, as is Ted's and the Scouse hospitality bier

Always a pleasure... Never a chore...

For me, it kinda depends. If we are camping on campgrounds with the tent trailer, it is the French press thingie for us.

If I am cooking on the campfire I make "Cowboy coffee", just simmering whole beans in the kettle. It gives a light coffee I will gladly drink all day long. In fact, that is what we did last year on the campground as well when the French press gave up the ghost. Just add a small handful of fresh beans from time to time and have coffee all day long. A heartfelt thank you to my American buddy Michael for showing me the trick and then some more!

When travelling by bike I usually buy a good cup of coffee along the road. We are living in good times, great coffee can be had almost everywhere. Wherever I see a percolator, I usually quit ...

I very much quit on instant coffee.

What we drank a lot this spring was tea from stinging nettles, just pick two tips about 20 cm long and simmer them (not too long), it tastes nice and it is healthy. Tea from fresh pine or fir tips is also very good.

DW makes a pot of ginger water every morning, just peel a smallish piece of ginger and bring it almost to a boil.

Here are two ideas. I use the MSR filter a great deal.

No filtering needed! Put 1/4 cup coffee, 1/4 cup sugar in Ziploc.

To make coffee add contents of Ziploc to 16 - 20 oz of water. Do this at night before. Set up your stove so that you can put it on first thing in the morning. In the morning fire up the stove and bring the coffee to boil and let steep for five minutes or so. After five minutes pour off coffee into you cup. The grounds will stay on the bottom. Adjust sugar, coffee and water to your taste. Any kind of sugar will work. I particularly like brown sugar.

Actually I brought one of these, amazingly good. Not 100% sure what the hole in the side of the plunger stalk is for as it lets some grinds back above the filter gauze, but it makes a wicked culpa Coffee. And the Insulated lid stays in firmly place (once plunged)

ironically I use this everyday at work! Zyliss. Brought a couple more for when I break / loose this one and the next one. That should suffice a while. Having said that its really well made

I really enjoy the GSI Collapsible Java Drip - is tiny when collapsed and works with any mug you may have... you will need to carry a few paper filters..other options do work ok too,,

Cowboy coffee rules, boil water. Add coffee. 5 minutes + or - Simmer. Slowly pour in half cup Cold water. Grounds drop like a rock. Use a titanium insulated mug or tall pot , when done put 2 1/2 ounce pocket rocket stove and spork and miss and pack, excellent coffee

Saw little 'Turkish coffee pots'in my local coffee bean shop, works same as Lebanese coffee in that you boil the grinds in the little pot and then pour, can be a bit gritty though.

Too lazy to troll though all of the coffee posts so maybe duplicating stuff here

Bo-Camp Coffee press
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just bought this from Stan at the Overland Event on the weekend.
£7.50, 37g.

Bo-Camp Coffee press – The Overlander

Comes out a bit weak compared to a Bialetti percolator but no worse than any other press I imagine. Reminds me of old cafetiere coffee.
Maybe buying #5 strength coffee will work.

A bit of a faff to rinse if water is scarce, but light and compact.

Good morning!

Just found this thread and would like to recommend my little Bodum "columbia" french press coffee maker. Makes one big pot of absolutely great coffee.

Made from tough chromed steel, it is double wall insulated, easily cleaned with a sip of boiled water and snugs into my 1ltr stainless steel pot. So this "set" packed isn´t bigger than the 500gr Illy pack or the campingaz or MSR stove I usually use.

spanner 23 Jan 2016 03:34

you know ..... when and if I have space I'll take a plunger style (french press) but when space is tight all I do is take a table spoon of ground coffee and put it in my cup, add boiling water, allow it to steep for a minute or two. Give it a really good stir and let it settle for about 30 - 40 seconds and drink. I just make sure I leave half an inch ( 10-15 cm) in the cup so I don't get a mouth full of 'mud'.

It really is the easiest and I think the best way when all you want is that morning hit to get your brain working.

I saw this on pintrest ..... does not look sturdy but the idea is sound

I have been using a Snow Peak titanium for years.

Good:
Light & strong
Great for more than one
A standard size bag of coffee can be packed inside it when half used.
No filters to bring comes apart easily for cleaning

Bad:
Bulky for one can't really use it as a cup too
Even though it has a decent looking filter using cafeteire coffee too much sludge at the bottom of a cup.

EDIT: On the website they've got the finest filter at the bottom mine is above the metal gauze....Plus they use it on a stove direct I was always too scared to, what a numpty I am.
