Have you thought of using a tea tin? They come in a couple different sizes and shapes (square, cylindrical), the lid secures very tightly and a quick google image search will show a variety of designs from stainess steel and pastel colors to exotic designs and flourescent colors. Just fill it with your favorite grounds.
Good call NightHiker! Thanks!

I use empty pill (Ibuprofen,Tylenol, vitamin etc) bottles.These bottles are tough, bomb proof and with a bit of saran wrap under the lid for extra waterproofing insurance, make for excellent coffee containers and also very useful for other things such as drink crystals, sugar etc.

Thanks Teslinhiker! I knew I came to the right people for advice. Have I mentioned how much I love the creativity of ETSers?

As an aside, and I don't drink coffee so I can't vouch for this either --
There used to be two types of coffee in the MREs, type I and type II. Those that had to have their coffee daily swore that Type II had more kick. These were the guys who would "dip" it like snuff. They'd also make sludge, barely enough water to make it drinkable, add a load of sugar and creamers and pound it down. (Gahhhh if you ask me)
So if you absolutely have to have coffee, see if you can find the TypeII packets.
Personally, I take my caffiene cold or in tea, also preferably iced.

>So now I rely on my bodum mug, which rocks!
Bodums also sell an all steel caffettier/travel mug. So it's good for a travel mug, travel coffee maker and even home coffee maker. In the UK larger branches of Whittards sell them. qjs
