Folger's instant in the little sleeves. I use two to my cooking pot/cup (gotta love dual purpose gear lol) and that is enough to get me going in the morning. I drink it black so no frills for me!
Rob,
Try #4 on the list. Cafe Bustelo single serve instant. 6 servings for $1.00 at Target.

We use one of these steepers (from Campmor if I remember correctly) with whatever decent coffee we can find in town...nothing beats real fresh brewed coffee and at less than an ounce, it's worth the weight!

As much as I'm a coffee snob when I'm at home, on the trail I really couldn't care less. I go to Wally World and buy the cheapest (Great Value TM) single serve instant coffee packets. While I'm there I'll pick up some single serve Yoo Hoo chocolate milk packets, too. With that, you have your choice of three hot drinks on the trail: Coffee, cocoa, or mocha choke'a latte.
Barney's Brew Sticks-I get them at my local Ingles Market.They are not a stick,it's a finger sized tube with highly concentrated coffee liquid in it.Smoothest coffee I have ever tasted and would drink it every day but for the price.Less waste than "tea bag coffee",no grounds to dispose of,not as convenient as instant crystals but a much better drink overall.Just my opinion as everyone's tastes are different.
If coffee is important to you, the extra ounce or two for a press made for your jetboil isn't a very steep weight penalty. Bringing an entire coffee press system that isn't part of your stove/ cookware... well, again, hyoh - and if "good" coffee is that high on one's priority list, so be it.
A press does take up space in the pack and it's another gizmo to keep track of.

Why I favor bright colored small "stuff" - maybe (!) I won't loose it/them then.

My frustration with the press is that it's a pain to clean. You have to deal with the coffee grounds each time and rinse them out. Other methods are much simpler in that regard. For example, the Aeropress basically just pops them out at the bottom. I love french press coffee, it's just not worth it to me on the trail.
Even a cup of instant coffee in the woods is paradise.

i drink coffee with milk at home. After coming back from Philmont (where I brought plenty of Starbucks Via instant), I'm a mocha convert when backpacking.

Ditto here. I regularly use a French Press at home, but on the trail I just bounce between what ever instant I find at the store.
For years I swore I wouldn't become a coffee drinker. Even made it through 5 years active duty Army without going to the dark side......then I got deployed to Iraq working 20+ hours a day for weeks at a time.
Now, I love coffee. I'm not a snob by any means, but I do appreciate a good cup (or 5) in the morning, but on the trail anything that's light and doesn't require an extra pack-out is from ne in my book.
