looks pretty awesome to me...but i wonder how long it will take for me to break it

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?

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 (http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=13559&memberId=12500226&storeId=226&catalogId=40000000226&langId=-1)
and by my count I can get 320 cups of Coffee for $20.

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. :)

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. :cool:

[SunnyWalker]

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.

for the tea drinkers: there is a loose tea tumber, someone gave me one for christmas, but its too heavy for backpacking, i think they got it from rei

So does the Java Juice have all the caffine??? Have 2 have caffine....you know...Gotta have my brains in a cup to start the day...

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.

Jet boil has a press that is an extra for the stove. works good and is only an extra 1 1/2 oz. even stores in the pot.
