I tried Starbucks instant coffee this last week while on vacation and was surprised how tasty this stuff is. Fast and easy to prepare this coffee also.

In the camper I use a plastic-cone/paper-filter into my travel mug using water heated in a tea kettle on the stove. This works fine for one or two.
IMHO this is the least-messy option (not counting instant) since the disposable filter (which contains the grounds) is all that get significantly dirty -- no french-press screen to clean even.

I have been using a press on my jetboil which is fast but limited quantity. I also am using a Coleman drip, it is just like you electric drip at home except you put it over the burner. Of course it is metal makes a full pot. Not real fast and rather big but good if you want a good dose of caffeine.

Mellitta guys are you talking about stove top? Most of the time I will be on 12 volt or stove http://shop.melitta....T1=64 0446&Cat=

I just bring along the plastic cone, the paper cones (number 2) and boil enough water to fill my big, stainless mug. I then set the cones over the mug (or a small thermos) and drip the coffee directly into the container. Then toss the paper cone and grounds.

Just add one of these, hot water & Bailey's to a travel mug and voila! -





I don't drink Folgers at home, but I use these in camp - simple, quick & no mess.

I like the coffee bags for backpacking and have used them for years.

We used to have a couple of the 12V coffee makers at FWC for sale when I first started here.

I still have an older one out in the garage that used to be in my personal camper.

I would NOT recommend one personally.

They use ALOT of 12v power and take forever to make the smallest cup of coffee.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Save your money for something a bit better.

If you are ever coming to the Woodland area, just me know in advance. I can bring mine in and you can have it for free if you want it. I don't think I will ever use it.

Maybe best to stick with some of the other suggestions people have posted.

Good coffee in the morning is top priority.

Don't bother with 12v. Tried the coleman, its okay, but slow and much too bulky. I'm happy with my Moka Express.

Small, fast and makes good coffee though more on the espresso side.

A french press or a melita is the way to go. I have a lexan french press... I think coleman makes a stainless steel one that looks even beter.

I think I may give this one a try , sure take up the least amount of space and prolly be the fastest , Melitta has the "Ready Set Joe Travel Mug 1-Cup Manual Black" 8.99 ,D
