    Am drinking coffee as we speak. WOW!!! That some good sh!+. About equal to the Titanium french press I have but never carry due to the weight.

    Hey, I'm quoting myself! Anyway, someone else figured out that maybe this isn't such a bad idea...

    Don't know who Dick Martin was but bless his sole!
    Just like to tell you about my reusable "permanent" nylon mesh filter similar to the "Porto Rican" cloth filter already mentioned.
    Even if the coffee do get a bit muddy it's great to be able to brew a proper cup outdoors. Mine is just a nylon mesh cone with a plastic ring at the top so it fits inside any cup, bottle or water bag. Also work great for pre-filtering water, tea, dirty gasoline etc! Packs down flat in it's own Ziploc bag and weighs just a couple of grams.
    I grind my own beans at home and bring but it anyone know of a UL-grinder I could bring please let me know, thanks!

    Not sure, but I think Skids may be out hiking; may be a coupla days before he responds.

    I have one of these. Available from Campmor, too. At one point, however, I did lose the bottom of the grinder (which houses the crank!), and had to resort to the acquired-on-the-trail UL grinder mentioned above. Can't really recommend it, though, since my use of rocks left pretty large chunks of bean intact, while punching holes in the plastic bag I was using.

    I was real pleased to find the gottom of the grinder, complete with crank, on the floor of the spare bedroom where I staged up.

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    In my case, it went by the wayside long ago, as I was introduced into home-roasted and home ground coffee. No comparison!

    Default Aeropress Coffee Maker

    Anyone ever tried this one ???

    http://www.aerobie.com/Products/aeropress_story.htm

    Haven't taken it backpacking yet but have been using it at home now for about a year and plan on taking it hiking in the future. About the most simple, fast and easy to clean coffee maker I've ever found.

    I like this idea, and I am posting to basically revive the post since someone was asking about it. Though I do have an interesting idea to add to the design. With the new K-Cup coffee makers and the reuseable wire filters for them, maybe you could use one of those to replace the XS ziplock and not have to carry a filter at all.

    Yeah I know an old thread and nope didn't read through all the pages. Yep I'm lazy but simplest way for me for coffee handful in a kettle of water boil a few minutes let settle nothing extra needed. I've grown to like cowboy coffee even at home that said I still use the cone filter gadget simple as well
