I hardly ever drink a full cup of coffee unless its COLD outside. I do usually make a cup though. I bring plain coffee in a jar, sugar and light cream, and I do a simple pour over using a Sea>Summit filter.

I use the Wacaco Nanopresso but with the double shot variant. I've used it quite often over the past two years. I mostly make Americanos in the morning at camp.

Tried all kinds of setups, jetboil, french press, percolator, moka pot, am using a GSI pour over now. Kind of like a collapsible space saver Mellita pour over funnel. Works okay. I don't care for how fine the grinder that came with it makes the coffee. Still searching for the perfect cup of joe.

This thread is great - I love coffee and have so many different ways to make it at home. My brother just sent me a Jot package (super concentrated coffee) that just requires hot water or milk of your choice ... anyone tried this? And what about drinking vessels? I just got a stanley legendary thermos after being inspired by this thread.

Percolator. I’ve been experimenting with a stovetop expresso maker but for now I’m sticking with the Percolator.

French press for us. I use a JetBoil to boil the water. Grind fresh beans before we head out on the trip and store them in a small sealed plastic container.

I'm a surface guy, but Chief and the First Classes always told me that making rank frees up both hands for more enlightened tasking... One hand for holding the cup of coffee, and the other for pointing out what needs to be cleaned.
I had good results with my cheap Stanley French press from Walmart. After that suffered a horrible accident, I switched to a Melitta for work and trying cowboy coffee out of the Jetboil the last few times I've gone out. Depending on what's in the truck, it goes into either my Yeti or my Walmart Yeti ripoff (which keeps coffee hotter longer than my Yeti...), and away I go.

I'm a home coffee roaster and my daily is my Rancilio espresso machine and burr grinder, but when traveling, I bring my trusty Aeropress and a cheap grinder... packs small and does the job!
The most efficient way to pack and make coffee on the trail that I have found is the jet boiler and press. https://amzn.to/328AUpN. https://amzn.to/3oDWVWM
We use a french press as well. I'll have to get an insulated one.

I use the aero press and just keep adding water using it like a drip through and then fill and press. Won’t fill up the big yeti but it will the yeti coffee mugs I have.

Two Espro Coffee Travel Presses. Individual size french press with double mesh filter. Double wall that keeps the coffee HOT! Wife actually pours hers into a cup to cool down :-) Like others have said though, clean up takes a bit of water.

I’m thinking about getting the Overland Press. I love French presses, but as others have mentioned: clean up is a pita

My wife vetoes any french press because the cleanup is such a pain. At home we use a pour-over, and in the field we use a percolator.
