I see lots of people very passionate about coffee and even more about using a press when they camp.
I want to get my wife a good one for our travels.
I would not know good from bad on this. Amazon reviews is a frustrating course to learn.
Suggestions?
Thank ya.

Personally I like my MSR Windburner 2.0L with press..... it packs small stove fuel bottle and press all fit inside the pot. it boils water in under 5 minutes, and one small can of fuel lasts me about a week making coffee as well as pulling double duty coocking my meals. If im using it for only coffee, one bottle lasts me a bout a year, making 3 to 5 pots a day over 3 to 5 days a week depending on hollidays.

I find this one from GSI perfectly adequate. I've used it on 5 or 6 trips and no complaints other than it doesn't have any measuring marks to help you pour your desired volume. But my GSI coffee cup does so I just measure with the coffee cup and pour it in. It's light, has a decent insulated wrap around it

If you haven't considered it, I highly recommend a collapsible silicone pour over. I used to use a french press, and I still like it, but it's a severe mess to clean up and wastes a lot of water. The pour over is SO simple and cleans up in literally two seconds with a dribble of water.Drip2.jpg

Great idea on the Wolecok Collapsible Pour Over Coffee Dripper (Silicone)...will be ordering one now from Amazon.
You need to take paper filter with you though; but clean up wiScreenshot_2019-10-20-09-30-49.pngll be that much easier than the metal filters on French press, require less water too.
Thanks for the lead.

Check out “Black Rifle Coffee” It’s a “small” coffee business that’s slowly expanding..

They are owned and operated by prior military and others who support the military/LE and such, started roasting as coffee in the military is worse than nasty.

they have lots of videos, how to brew coffee while camping and on the road & not only is it informative, the cofffee is actually very very good.

As with the rest of my kitchen kits. I made her a coffee kit. Need to add some tea for me. Ha. She loved it. I enjoyed making her coffee last weekend camping out.
thanks everyone for all the suggestions.
