My friend just recommended Javette coffee concentrate. It's a convenient single-serving coffee concentrate that makes a good cup of coffee and you can alter the amount to make your coffee strong or mild. It lightweight and pressure resistant and looks, smells, and tastes like good coffee. I've made hot coffee and great cold frappacinos with it.
It's will definitely come with me on all my backpacking trips!

These are better.
Found these Nescafe Taster's Choice instant coffee singles in the Dollar Store today.
Seven to a box for a dollar.
Add 6 oz hot water.
The seven of them weighed 0.8 oz on my digital scale, so figure a little over 0.1 oz each

Many of us picked up Javette packets in the hiker boxes last year. WOAH!!! That stuff was absolutely, positively ill-tasting. All my fellow AT hikers concurred.
To each his own.

It's called 'creative advertising'

Javette is some nasty tasting stuff. Taster's Choice is much better and a lot cheaper. I package it myself from a jar in big cooking pot sized servings.
Just get a lexan French Press.

I'll settle for some instant in a 2oz bottle. Everything tastes good on the trail after a hard day anyways.

I called the 800 # on their website to try to get a free sample out of idle curiosity. The number is disconnected.

GlazeDog If you found it in a hiker box the chances are pretty good it tasted like crap......
