    Been through various coffee making scenarios while camping…..what do you use for

    1) more than one cup eg cafetiere? Any robust ones?

    Starbucks via sachets.

    I have an aeropress, but why carry such a lump around when a handful of tiny foil sachets produces good coffee?

    I have stainless steel cafetiere for when I am canoeing.
    I use coffee bags for carrying with light and uberlight stove (one pot, how do you pour?).
    I use instant sachet(!) and no milk for uber-ultralight.

    We had an in breakable one … The wife broke it
    Drink too much coffee for sachets would cost me a fortune I will add a bit to my original post it’s family camping rather than backpack/lightweight camping

    I have a wife like that.

    4 glass cafetieres later, I got two of these stainless steel ones.

    Oooooo shiny I like……so SS cafetiere for multiple cups and an aeropress thing when I just want a quick cup. Are they really as quick and as simple as the advert says? Do they fit over a standard cup/mug?

    Depends how long and what sort of camping.
    Car camping for a week = aeropress. If I was carrying everything on my back I’d be considering posh sachets I think

    We got given a box of these which we use on expedition races – they are pretty magnificent really for what they are. http://www.growerscup.com/eng/

    Swissgold one cup. It weighs grammes and is indestructible with no papers easy to wash and hygienic

    You need something to tamp the grinds onto the gold filter or it’s not so good. I use a cork from a whiskey bottle which weighs nothing. Makes coffee at least as good as caffitierre

    Starbucks Via sachets here too. Though, I’ve taken Millicano for longer trips – I’ve tasted far worse from stove-tops.

    It has to be an aeropress. Only £21 on eBay right now.

    Ground coffee in a zip lock plastic bag (rationed out at one cup per day) plastic funnel and one filter paper per cup. Use the funnel to hold the paper and coffee . Pour boiled water through slowly . A nice little morning ritual and an excellent cup. If not Lakeland plastics do a combined mug and filter caffetiere thing.

    ^smartcafe I’ve found to be the best solution as it can also be used as a tea/general mug as well. Also used it to make a couple of mugs for others. depends tho, whether you are car camping or bike/backpacking.

    I’ve got both a Smartcafe and an Aeropress, and it’s got to be the Aeropress every time.

    The Smartcafe is good, but it can’t match the quality of coffee the Aeropress kicks out. Plus the Aeropress is bombproof if you bash it about while camping.

    Stove-top here for the caravan, sachets otherwise. Although I do have a single version of what nobby posted. It’s ok, not really any different to a stovetop though.

    Stovetop here. For lighter weight trips I usually just go cowboy style – grounds in cup, pour water over, wait a minute for grounds to settle to the bottom, don’t drink too far down

    Jetboil seem to disagree with you, it’s the small photo that’s wrong.

    On my 9 month tour [as a coffee addict]

    Just pour boiling water over grounds in a cup. Wait a couple of minutes and stir – THEY ALL SINK!

    All you have to do is maybe catch a couple of floating grounds, [usually less than 10], don’t agitate it, and stop before you hit the bottom.

    I found that when the grounds are exposed at the bottom of the mug a few little bits will float again, simply press your lips against the edge of the mug and sip gently from below the waterline so as not to slurp in the air/groundsontop.

    No equipment required!

    I’m not. I don’t use one.

    How would you be able to form the opinion that the sachets are better then?

    Fracking Conran mug…… I forgot about that. It is insulated though, so it may not be good for quick coffee in the AM, and also is bulky.

    I use this myself.
