Camp Coffee?

I have used one of these for a few years as well. Cheap. Around $4 at the grocery store. Doe not fold flat is the only downside

Panzertroop, that is the third variant pour thru I have seen. It got high marks in reviews for it's thrift, ease of cleaning, but mention of difficulty finding the right filters to go with it. Are the cone filters hard to find?
 
they sell the filters at Kroger along with the cone. I think the brand is Melitta? They have them on at online retailers as well.

My cowboy coffee lacks normally so I use this as a filter for coffee made in my billy can. It works as designed but usually one cup of coffee isn't enough.

Yes, I am the same on my habit of consuming large quantities of coffee, thus the downfall of a lot of the pour-thrus designed for one cup at a time. However as a filter for the bottom of the pot of cowboy coffee it would still work. So thanks for adding to the choices.
 
I decided to be a weight weenie over using what I had a vietnamese drip system, a french press, or buying a new aeropress and went with Via. They have coffee only flavors italian roast, colombian, etc. I waited for a sale at costco. Pretty good, better than the instant coffees I remember. If you want I can send you a sample, email me.
 
Thanks for the offer Chickenfried. I saw it in my local Albertsons grocery tonight. Still nearly a dollar a pop. I'll pick up a box of it to try eventually. I'm not so much worried about weight as I am of adding bulk/complexity. So far the various stainless filters are looking good. The grocery had those too, but meant to replace the single use paper filters in drip makers. Yet another low cost option.
 
IMHO, coffee is best when quick and easy. I like cream and sugar in mine. Quality is not the most important aspect with me. Trader Joe's makes the ideal product. A little sleeve of coffee/creamer/sugar, just ready for some hot water. Cheap too. ;)

If you've a Daiso nearby, they have a few different sizes and are super cheap.

For those of you unfamiliar with Daiso, it's a Japanese "yen" store. :) Pretty much everything is $1.50 USD. I think the filters come in packs of 80 and 100, depending on the size.

This is what I like if weight isn't an issue. Good for Turkey hunting mornings too; up til 9, and don't have to pee. ;)

The presses are nice if you need to share.

Nice hanging pot. It reminds me of the old Hudson Bay nested pots. I found a top for one of them once while metal detecting in the north. I was bummed when I realized that I lost it..... This is an interesting thread and I'll pick up tips from it for sure. All the wife and I have used is a beat up camping percolator. It does the job, but smaller is definitely interesting.
 
There was/is a pour spout on it too, not just a "dent" in the rim. Can't find another anywhere, yet. Half of a cup of cold water settles the grounds so not guts are needed either.;)
 
I heard years ago that if all you had were grounds tossed into a pot, that you could ''wind mill'' the pot to settle the grounds. Anyone know if there is some truth to this ?

I'm gonna have to check those out. I wonder if they use the typical powdered creamer made with "Methy-Ethyl Death". The price is right and it's nice to have coffee without flavors added, but the SB VIA uses real dairy as the creamer.

Has anyone mentioned this new Stanley Coffee set yet? It looks neat, but too fancy for my needs.

My Aussie mates put me onto this years ago and it does work. However. So does setting the hot pot on a cool surface or giving it a dash of cool water.
 
As you can plainly see, when I go on a paddleabout I don't concern myself with style. Of course that might be a reason I've not been accompanied by a sheila in quite a few years.
