A while back I shared a tip that I recycled a Stabil fuel stabilizer container for alchohol for my pop can stove (see Don Johnston's High Performance Alcohol Stove a.k.a Photon Stove). It has a handy 2nd chamber that fills by squeezing the body of the bottle. What's neat is that you can than measure the exact amount of fuel you want (0.5 oz., 1 oz., etc.) without having to carry a measuring cup/cap. Of course, shortly after I posted that message, they went and change the design. The 2nd chamber is now a long spout, which aids in pouring into a gas tank but makes it a little aukward for storing in a pack.

Well, I found an interesting alternative source for the original, more square style of bottle. It from Cool Brew, a coffee concentrate made with a cold water drip process. It's a liquid concentrate that you pour an ounce or so into hot water (or hot milk if you prefer Cafe au Lait). I was exploring the site looking for an alternative to the rancid crystal freeze dried instant coffees for backpacking. Unfortunately, the product needs refridgeration <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. But I ordered several bottles anyway because I love the occaisional chicory coffee and my wife doesn't. So I can pour myself a cup whenever I want <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Plus it'll be nice for making iced coffee in the summer. And when I'm done, I'll have an extra fuel bottle! <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

BTW, only the French Roast is chicory free. All other flavors have chicory.
