  • I've been trying to tweak my camping coffee set-up and see if I can get it really really compact. Saw these and they look great in terms of compact-ness, but would I be right in assuming they're rubbish? Humour me - I'm a coffee dunce.

    I've currently my kit down to a stainless pot thing that a gas canister and tiny stove can fit in, my mug which has a temperate strip on it so I check water temp, and then either an aero press or a plastic hario dripper. It's pretty compact and light with the Hario, but I assume one day I'll drag the hario out of a bag and it'll have cracked or something, thus rendering me coffee-less.

    edit: sorry, that wasn't supposed to be a reply! Hope you avoided the famously cantankerous owner of FCP ;-D

  • I use a collapsable Sea to Summit dripper with V60 papers:

    (with a Porlex mini)

  • I have the square mile shop one, it is ok but not good on a windy day as too light.

    My preferred is the Rivers micro dripper, but I may be swayed by the s2s one if I can get hold of one.

    GSI java is good too, but messier to clean after and fiddly clips compared to the rivers dripper.

    The advantage of brewing through a filter paper v60 style is it can then be used as a wrapper to easily clear up after into a carry out bag. Loose wet coffee grinds from other brewers are hard to rinse or transfer into a waste bag, especially if following leave no trace to the extreme on lightweight wild camping. Either that or I've failed to figure out something relatively simple as a solution and will be embarrassed when I learn what it is...
