Just pour boiling water over grounds in a cup

Had never tried that until I went on a horseback elk hunting trip with an old-time guide. He just put course grounds into boiling water on the fire, let it sit a bit and voila, you have coffee that will make your hair stand on end---might not rival that served by the coffee shop barista, but sure as hell woke one up in the morning.

@ Nobby. I'm bringing my stove tops but I have some Italian sourced coffee I can share in your device at the Bonty?

What Rossi46 said. Lyons coffee bags.
I carry them round at work all the time, so much so I've got half the staff of HMP W******* on them. Ok, so the snobs with sensitive/dodgy taste buds may think they taste 'like mud/awful/crap/dog poo'.
But they don't & for about 12p a bag they're pretty ace actually, & dead handy.
& I'm not even on commission!

I'm with slugwash - much of our camping is cycle touring so don't really want to carry anything extra. Used to do cafetiere but it wasn't strong enough. Now I just use the mini trangia pan for turkish style or 'cowboy coffee'.

Snowpeak Titanium French Press.
Works well, works very well if you use coffee ground for a french press and it's made from titanium. Win win.

+1 for the Lyons Coffee bags. Use them at work and converted a few people over to them.

Oh dear, and I thought that STW forumites were proper coffee connoisseurs! 😉

Throw your insipid Lyons ball bags in the bin and get down to Sainsbury's.....

Our nearest Sainsburys is 12 miles away whereas Morrisons is 300 mtrs away. 😆

I'll stick to the featherweight handiness of Lyons.

I find the Lyons bags are just short of a camping mug of coffee for me. I knows I could buy a smaller mug or do a half cup, but I likes what I likes. i do have them at home if I want a quick refreshing cup without the buzz and shakes.
What I def don't like is the Starbuck's sachet things, it's the gritty after taste in yer mouth.

If you're not up to cycling 24 miles then you'll be pleased to know that the Co-op are selling the same Colombian coffee bags as Sainsburys in their own branded packaging 😉
