I have tried the all in one cup plunger things, but really not liked them; so what's the collectives choice, risk the Pyrex cafetiere, or a heavier espresso maker Bialetti?
Don't even mention instant!

i take one of my bialettis (3 or 6 cup) along for any outdoor adventure, be it backpacking, paddling or whatever. they can be bulky and not terribly packable, but the coffee they make is worth it.....

Generator plus Gaggia plus burr grinder, you know it makes sense!
Seriously, if you're minted, you could try one of these:
No idea if it's any good, and it does use pods, but it looks great...

I've got this filter that sits in the top of a cup and you put the coffee in and pour boiling water through. It's not an expresso but it tastes great when you're camping.

Hmmmmm, Bialetti looking good so far. Damn the weight, it's for "comfy" camping with the missus.

You must tamp-down the grinds onto the filter to get proper strength. Espresso grinds work best. Nice results and it's 100% re-usable.

Germanic luggage folk Or\tlieb make a filter (paper) holder ... which I cannot whole heartdly reccommend as on the 1st expd i took it on i mistakenly believed it was actually a filter itself, but no obviously it was wasn't....eventually we used the material for patching something else...brew production a mokka machine is surely the way to enjoy the magic bean...

I've got a polycarbonate bodum 1 person cafetière and its fine. Starting to let a few granules round the silicon rubber seal on the plunger but a good old fashioned tea strainer collects the stray bits. Cheap as, too.

I just use good coffee grounds straight in a cup, add boiling water, wait till they sink, add additives of choice, drink. Tastes exactly the same as a cafetiere, no weight, no washing. In fact I do it like that at home quite often when I can't be arsed to do the stovetop espresso. Must used fine ground coffee to avoid floating bits. Take care towards the end.

Could you not just use a fine tea-stainer and put the coffee in the boiling water a-la tea?

Snow Peak = want

These things are all awesome... But I have to be honest, I just take my wee coleman, a pot with a lid, and some of the nescafe cap columbie instant from their pretentious range... Make it up a little strong and take it black, and don't boil the water, and it's actually pretty nice. Please don't throw stones at me
Posted 2 years ago # -
Nescafe???????????
You infidel!!!!!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Dave, oh yes Snowpeak = I want (need). But for amountain marathon I think it'll need to be just a paper filter!

I have an insulated plastic cup that has an integrated coffee plunger, works well, I think it was from Lakeland.
