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.

Bear bones meths stove, smallish alpkit ti mug, sea2summit x-cup plus the munie tetra drip or gsi java drip will not weigh much at all and would mostly pack into the mug. Could chuck in a ti windshield/ pot stand for not much more of a weight penalty too.
I'll weigh the above bits in a bit and see what it totals.
IMO: Jetboil (& equivalents) weight penalty is good for when the weather is shite and you just want to boil and go. I'd not use mine for cooking, just to heat water.

There are much lighter options, were discussed in the coffee thread recently.
