Check out the Zyliss Cafetiere Coffee Filter Mug

Things we use: 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
