I love my coffee, or as we call it where I am from Swedish Gasoline!
I use a simple pour over set up for my coffee.
What do you use?

I've got an REI 32oz French Press. I've tried smaller setups but I always end up needing to brew multiple batches to get my fix, plus this is double-walled, so it stays hot forever.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I make Cowboy coffee in an enamel percolator for my wife and whoever is joining us.

Pour over is a good simple approach for a great cup, but yeah, it's also totally hipster. I should know, I've got a Chemex I use at home...

I've wanted to try chemex but just haven't jumped in yet. That being said I used to just boil my coffee water in a pot. I just recently picked up a collapsible silicone kettle with a metal bottom. Looks promising. Can't wait to try it.

Yeah I think we got ours fairly cheap.. I figure if it dies, no biggie.

Jetboil French press with a Snow Peak cup. It works and it's cheaper than the dedicated systems (although I'm tempted by Snow Peak's latte system....).

We use an MSR whisperlite to boil ~1L of water in a jiffy in a titanium msr pot...then a simple pour over into baked enamel steel cups for me and my partner in crime. A fresh cup is about 2 min 30 sec away if you only boil a small amount (< 1 L / 32 fl.oz).
The cone is currently just a plastic melita #2 that we got for free, but we'd like a snowpeak collapsible one, ideally.
The grinds are the deelishus expensive beans from the local grocery store that we grind at home, just prior to going on the road. The 'good flavour' lasts for about a week in a sealed container, after that it starts tasting Nabob-ey.

I use all of the methods.
Via when I'm lazy.
Pourover, Sweet Maria Smart Dripper. Very good pourver method, lets you steep it for a few minutes before dripping.
Pourover, MSR coffee strainer. Very good and quick and easy for small cups. Does get grit in the coffee.
(I use a chemex at home, best drip system hands down)
French press: JetBoil, easy and quick and nice to have a dedicated stove/coffee maker for overlanding.
French press: Stanley MVCS, best all around.
This summer we settled on the Stanley Mountain Vacuum Coffee System. It is nice to use the pot to portion the water and boil it. The french press makes a nice easy pot of coffee. Then the vacuum bottle keeps it warm while we nurse it all morning. I get up earlier than my wife, so this way I don't have to make another fresh cup for her.
Here's a video review I did of the Stanley system:
I also tried Kuju disposable pour over. It's good, but not fast and not enough coffee:

I have this exact press, it lasted through many long trips in Afghanistan, and then a few years here in the states, it finally came apart at the threads on the press rod, and I gave it up. I have a Stanley now.
I use a V60 every single day at home. Its just the best simple coffee maker there is.
My rig in the field is either a Jetboil or MSR Whisperlite International for water, and a Stanley French Press, or cheap pour over depending on the day, and whether I'm packing light or heavy.

You win, your skinny jeans and black-rimmed glasses are in the mail...I have to disagree. The V60 doesn't look pretentious, my Hario Technica looks pretentious.

Also, I might get a MochaPot or other espresso type device for camping. I've become addicted to an afternoon espresso...

Did the via thing while backpacking. Moved to the french press and loved it, but its a mess and you use alot of water on clean up. Starting to look for a good pour over setup for my counter culture coffee. Im going hipster on this one!
