    I did, but didn't like it. The some grounds always made it past that plastic rim. I ened up just making cowboy coffee and got rid of the other crap (coffee press).

    I haven't used it, but I have heard quite a few people have that problem. Somewhere online I read a review on it, and 9 out of 10 people that reviewed it didn't like. Sorry I don't remember where I saw the review at.

    I use it everytime I go out. In fact I use it as my coffee pot when I go camping. It's easy to clean and makes enough coffee for both of us. It let's some grinds through but not enough where it becomes a problem.

    As with any coffee press, it is best to grind your beans very coarse, this helps to keep them from coming through the screen. It is the only way i make coffee now and it is great. i bought the press that fits in the nalgene bottle and use it every morning on the trail.

    I love my jetboil. It is what it is and the best of them. Fast boiling water for all your needs. I recall heating chicken soup in howling winds and desperately uncomfortable situation and then having hot coffee. Life is good with fast hot water.
