Was hunting for the Bodum drip coffee maker I have (which is a little fiddley to get the coffee amount right, but otherwise pretty good) and came across this, which looks interesting: http://www.johnlewis.com/bodum-travel-press-coffee-maker-set-with-extra-lid-0-35l-black/p450068
Edit: kinda similar to this: https://www.rei.com/product/798277/gsi-outdoors-collapsible-javadrip-slim-drip-coffee-maker?cm_mmc=aff_AL-_-133859-_-191497-_-NA&avad=191497_ed97303b
I use the Aeropress when car camping.
The main reason for this over all of the other options is that the cleanup is SO easy. Just pop the puck of grounds into the binbag and wipe off the plunger. Ready to go again.
If weight is really an issue I make coffee "cowboy style:" Put ground coffee in mug. Add hot water. Stir. Wait 5 minutes. Grounds have sunk to bottom (a few taps on the side helps. Drink, leaving last 1/2 inch in bottom of mug. Works for me because I like my coffee strong and black anyway. You may get the odd speck of grounds, but this is camping, not a hotel.
Plus you will save space not having to pack any laxatives.
I've had a couple of those Bodum french press mugs and I like it. Mine is a plastic one and is pretty light. I even tend to carry when working out and about if I know that I'm not likely to find decent coffee.
