    Found one that has it's own plastic/lexan? cup at Starbucks last night for $10.00. It seemed pretty rugged, and reasonably light, so I plan to pick one up for my trip next month and give it a try.

    Do you remember how many ounces it will hold?

    Default coffee extract

    I personally recommend the Java Juice coffee extract . . . it weighs a lot less and is a lot faster . . .

    $20?? yikes. How about these. Been using them for 20 years now and they are still great coffee

    I use a regular filter in a drain screen that I bought just for that. Since regular filters are a couple of dollars for 300 and the drain screen will last about forever, this is even cheaper than the individual filters. (The drain screen was about $1.50, I think).

    Set the screen in the lemonade jar; add filter and coffee; use top of lemonade jar to pour water over the grounds. Presto, a nice big cup of coffee.

    Default Starbucks Press

    They actually had two different sizes when we went back. The small one is probably a 12 fl.oz. and weighs 6.1 oz. on the postage scale here at work. The other one looked to be about 20 fl.oz.

    Hope it helps............ small is $7.95 and large is $9.95

    I love my morning coffee. I have pressed, screened, perc'd, dripped and bagged. None are the same as home or your favorite pit stop. So, I just keep it simple and use the folgers instant bags to save time and effort. Just my way. HYOH.

    Yeah . . . . I feel the same way. But I use Nescafe Instant Coffee. No bag to throw away.

    Ok, i had some dividend money at REI and thought, what the heck, and bought the Press-Bot coffee press. I used it this past weekend on a trip from North of Pine Grove Furnace down to Caladonia. It was a great trip which included the best trail coffee i have ever had.

    It was easy to use ( although taking it out of the bottle took some practice). After rinsing the press and bottle, i kept it stored in the Nalgene and just filled water over it, using the Nalgene for its original use all day.

    I recomend it.

    I did buy a coffee press for when I rode my bicycle across USA. It was out of the Nashbar Catalog. It is an insulated cup with a snap on lid and then has the coffee press built into the lid. I ended up ditching it for instant coffee and a lighter(little) cup. Sure learned what I could live without.
