I personally am not a bitch when it comes to my morning caffeine as long as I have a fucking cup of coffee every morning. Run the shit through a dirty jizz covered sock, I dont give a shit. |

Another vote for the Aeropress. I make a 16 oz thermos by filling to the top with water, allowing it to drain 1/2 way on it's own then filling back to the top before putting in the plunger. I use around 4 tbsp of very fine grounds, Intelligentsia Black Cat or Dark Matters Coffee. |

Not sure if jetboil has updated their french press design, but the one I have is terrible. There isn't a good seal between the press so you end up with cowboy coffee. |

Last year, I stumbled across this write-up when I was at the same cross roads. |

Why are we still talking about this, I thought the Jizz sock ended any questions. |

If you want to look at the best (in quality) option available, it'd be this guy: thelittleguy.info/ |

IMO, burning coffee in a moka (Bialetti) pot = operator error or distraction. |

Another vote for Aeropress. I was skeptical at first, as the concept seemed like French Press, but more expensive. I finally caved in and got one and it's amazing. I had a side by side taste comparison with a FP and never since used my french press again. |

my last climbing trip I pre ground the coffee before we left and I got two of those little basket ball things that people put loose tea in. I put the coffee in there and poured water. As long as you don't grind it too small it worked great and those things cost like 2 dollars. |

Whatever your method of choice, having fresh grounds can improve things dramatically. |

Success is simple: - Coarse grounds - Take it off heat at the first gurgle - It's strong like espresso, cut it with hot water Feel free to not clean it for a week. The oils are fine. I've got a "6 cup" pot, but the nomenclature is silly. It's one cup of rocket fuel as-is, two cups of strong ass coffee if cut 50/50 with water, or three cups of regs if yer a sissy. Big demerits for the size though, that collapsable cone filter pour over situation someone linked to looks nice for a tight pack. |

The moka pot numbering ("3 cups") makes sense if you think of it as 3 little espresso cups. It's not exactly espresso like from a pump machine, but it's what the Italians drink at home. It's too heavy/bulky for backpacking but good for car camping. I have a big one that is the bomb for group camping, making coffee for a gang of people at wake-up. |

I'm lusting after this ultimate camp coffee maker: Details here: crateandbarrel.com/rok-manu… Even comes with a hand-pump milk frother! Now if you could somehow rig a bicycle that generates energy to heat water, you've got all man powered cup of cappuccino! |
