I too love my coffee. While camping it used to be Starbucks via instant. I have since graduated to using an aeropress and I love it.

Just bought a GSI Javamill to use with my 9 cup percolator. Now to order up some Black Rifle beans!

I use a JavaPresse Manual Coffee Grinder and an AeroPress (best coffee maker under 1k) is with a stainless steel filter. Zero power requirements, small footprint, reusable and perfect coffee each time. I use the AeroPress at home and generally prefer it to a french press, the keurig, our espresso machine (which is admittedly cheap). I swear by this setup.

Very simple, less than 10 seconds. Unscrew the filter catch and push the plunger all the way through. The used grounds and filter come out into the trash. Just wipe up and you are done.

So far I am boiling water either on the camp stove or my preferred method is with the MSR wind burner (1L of water in about 1-2 minutes). I have a Mocha latte powder that's easy and nice. But I am thinking I am going to get a French press...cause hey its overlanding not backpacking. We did backpacking last year..so now having a full camp kitchen again his seems super luxurious to me.

I was recently given one of these collapsible pour overs..
FlexWare™ Coffee Drip, Orange - UST Brands

I was pleasantly surprised when I finally tried it a couple of weekends ago. Just heated the water with my JetBoil and poured the water slowly. I was super happy with the end result. May be leaving my percolator out of my kitchen box and save some space next trip out.

It looks like my cheapo dollar store pour over is a Chinese knock off of that one. It's identical. I was very pleased with mine as well.

Yeah, I think my friend got it for free somewhere but isn't a coffee drinker. My gain.

I use a JetBoil, an Aeropress, and a hand grinder from Black Rifle Coffee. I'm extremely disappointed in the grinder and don't recommend it at all, but you can't beat the Aeropress for coffee. The Jetboil is just the fastest, easiest way to boil water at 5am, and it's handy to have around camp lots of other times too.

I bought an AeroPress for Scout trips and the overlanding kit I'm building. I love it so much, I haven't used the Keurig at home more than a couple of time since it arrived a couple of months ago. I also love it so much, I bought a second one yesterday so I have one for home and one to carry back and forth to work.

I grind my beans in a hand-crank burr grinder (We also have two of those, one for light coffee (yum) and one for dark coffee (ew)). I do a double pour-over for my 20oz coffee mug. The first cup according to the basic AeroPress instructions and all the way up to the top pour line, and the second pour over the same but with the wet grounds from the first pour. It comes out mild, hot, and delicious.

There's not much better than that first cup of coffee when I'm camping. I almost exclusively go for the Aeropress; it's compact, quick, and REALLY good. Sometimes I'll opt for the Mooka pot for the same reasons. We weigh out our beans before we headout to keep from having to pack a scale, and then pack each serving in separate containers. I use a ceramic conical hand grinder that fits inside my Aeropress plunger, this way I get a fresh ground coffee with a compact bundle

Jetboil, GSI French Press, and a generic stainless steel hand crank coffee grinder from Amazon, I must have my coffee...so I also have one of those survival water purification bottles just incase I desire coffee but have no water along with a pound or two of beans at all times in my Jeep.
