Another vote for the bigger Melita and a good thermos....I've been working with that method for a pretty long time and it's hard to beat for storage and holding....just bring more good coffee...

 

there's not much that will beat the smell of fresh coffee brewing when you're camping....AHHHH

The aeropress w/ 4 scoops of coffee will make a full pot of coffee. After running hot water through it 3x then pressing you get a highly concentrated amount that then 3 cups of additional water is added. Elegant design for cleaning and reduced acid and oil. I'm sold on it!

I also use the Aeropress.  Best coffee maker around, regardless of size/cost!  Toss in a Porlex grinder (which fits inside the Aeropress!) and you have a compact solution for making excellent coffee.

Aeropress is great. Simple to clean,easy and quick as just boiling water. It makes a concentrated coffee that when you add water to it makes a full strength very large amount of coffee that has a ton less acid.

How do you add the acid then, maybe they sell it separate?

IIf it is because I just want a quick cup of something hot besides tea because it is cold and rainy and don't want to pop the top, I can tolerate the Folger's single cup bags.  I fill a Nissan 61 oz vacuum bottle with boiling water at night and it is still hot enough for the coffee bags the next day.

+1 on the Folger's bags.  (But I'm not a coffee connoisseur; to me caffeine is caffeine.)  One bag = 32 oz , but I put the bags in the v.b. at night so the brew is stronger in the AM.  The screw threads seal with the strings hanging out.  Until being caffeinated my motor skills are less than optimized, so these are all I use at home or camping.   Very space efficient.

My brother was very happy with his new Coleman.

One of my fishing buddies has an older style Coleman coffee maker.  IMO, it makes absolutely the WORST coffee I've ever had!  

 

To be honest, this may not be the fault of the coffee maker, maybe my buddy just makes bad coffee.

Question from someone who is not a coffee connoisseur, why no mention of a percolator?

They make horrible coffee. Not only does hot water go through the coffee but the hot coffee is repeatedly dumped over the ground coffee. Of course if you want coffee for fifty people they do have an advantage.
