I can’t get going in the morning without coffee so I’m happy to be carrying an extra kilo.
There are much lighter options, were discussed in the coffee thread recently.

Is carrying a dripper that much lighter?
Dripper means 2 cups (one as the kettle, one for the cup) (EDIT: I just realised you can't drink out of a french press so would need a second cup anyway...obviously...sorry for being dense. I haven't...had my coffee...)
The PX french press

They do have a jetboil type thing with a plunger

Which is probably quite heavy, but if you're going to take a jetboil stove type thing for cooking anyway it might not be too bad?
I have not used either, but have been thinking about getting the cup with plunger.

Cheers - I’ll see how we go. I’m doing four days of walking in Shropshire next week as part of prep for C2C in august.
It’s to test out kit as much as anything so I’ve got time to decide I want/need something lighter. I’m hopeful we’ll get away with one stove between three of us so it’s not a huge weight to carry.

I agree with you. This is for hiking but I posted in here because the package is sold for bike packing.
