Yet another coffee maker, "Single-Serve Coffee Press" by Palmpress

Just came across it, check it out - https://www.thegrommet.com/palmpress

The pitch:

The Palmpress uses an immersive brewing technique similar to a French press, which evenly extracts a clean cup of coffee in as little as three minutes. But unlike with a French press or pour-over method, the Palmpress is an entire brewing method in one piece—no paper filters or pods to dispose of or fragile parts to assemble. Instead, this collapsible device takes up about as little space as a hockey puck. Just fill the silicone funnel with coarse-ground coffee, stir and let sit, then press the coffee into a cup.

For backpacking or climbing, I don't see this as an improvement over Aeropress or a simple cone brewing method. It seems heavy and limited.

For home use, looks like a nice option. 

As someone who has owned way too many coffee devices (French Press / Moka / Aeropress / V60 Drip), my current favorite - by far - is the Wacoco Minipresso. I found mine for $25 online. Don't get the knock-off imitations, my girlfriend did and stopped bothering to send them in for replacement because the replacements would break almost immediately.

It almost always comes with us when doing low-key backpacking or car camping. Espresso = minimum water usage but big taste. It's slightly smaller than an aeropress and just as sturdy. Tastes a million times better than Starbucks Via or Alpine Start.

We did a blind taste test vs. a $200 home espresso machine and most people in the group preferred the Wacoco. We also included the aeropress / french press / etc...

Obvious caveat: if you don't like espresso and prefer coffee, stick with what works. The non-espresso people were split between the French Press and Aeropress.

bought it new from Poshmark.com

If I'm going lightweight I'm just bringing instant coffee. No question. If I'm not, I'm bringing my trusty old aeropress.

I'm with Chris

Instant coffee + 1/2 package of hot chocolate mix = backcountry goodness

Sometimes I use  filter system but to be honest usually instant, it just feels more like camping that way.

It really depends if you like quality coffee or if you want your classic burnt go-juice.

For quality instant coffee, you're not going to find anything better than swiftcup. They have some wonderful single origin coffees roasted by some of my favorite roasters (check out ​This​​​ and ​This from middlestate). Aeropress with hand Burr grinder for Basecamp. V60/aeropress for home.

If you want burnt go-juice, Starbucks via and alpine start are fine. Not my thing though.

Also, you can just buy the single-use pour over filter/bags empty from amazon and bring your own coffee.

I would put Swift in a similar class to what we are doing based on multiple blind taste tests. https://www.firstascentcoffee.com/collections/hand-crafted-instant-coffee use the code theproj for 20% off and always free shipping on the instant.

yup first ascent is great!

Vietnamese Phin... buy there for about a buck, Amazon prime about $10.

These are a few bucks... smile.amazon.com/Vietnamese…;qid=1569271025&sr=8-33&th=1

There is a learning curve, you need the right grind and patience. It takes trial and error and some diligence to figure it out. Making Vietnamese style coffee you want a strong shot. You want it to drip very slowly.

I carry one and a grinder whenever I am traveling, including solo international trips with only a day pack's worth of gear.

Just take Excedrin if youre backpacking. Way lighter. Drink good coffee at home. No gimmicky mini espresso will beat a real espresso machine in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing.

Alpine start is definitely the best instant coffee on the market.  Its actually quite good for instant; plus Matt Segal started the company, which is cool.
Secondly, the aeropress is the best coffee making system on the planet, portable, light, simple, makes good coffee.  I take one traveling with me on international trips.

Completely agree! Although I don’t often drink coffee and don’t really understand its taste, I like to drink coffee very early in the campsite. Gives a special charge of energy and an inexplicable feeling of joy

And I have a question to all of here :)
I really want to know your opinion. What is better to buy a coffee machine or coffee maker for home? I’m just not a special gourmet and I don’t drink coffee every day, so I would like to know if the taste of coffee from these two machines is very different.

I usually just bring some blow...waaay easier

Are you asking between a normal coffee brewer and a Keurig type machine?  There is a massive difference to me but I’m a coffee nerd.  Sounds like you aren’t at all so maybe the Keurig type machine would work just fine.

Get a pour over set up. Kettle and Chemex is classy looking and fun, get a metal filter and you're set. Do not get a Keurig, those things are terrible in the waste they generate and they make awful coffee.
