I saw Lily in can at the grocery store I was at last night. It was an average-sized can but a really small store so not much selection.

I'm going to check out the coffee shops too, they sometimes have gift-basket-sized cans.

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.

Thanks Joey. I've got a stainless steel travel mug version with rubber handle that makes about 2 cups, and a larger glass version that makes about 4 cups. They're fantastic. The only downside is that I have to boil the water seperatly. I could probably do it in the travel mug but I don't want to melt the handle. My old-style aluminum percorlator beats them on this aspect. (It's tougher than glass too.)
