Nice one Matt. Looks like a billy can with a spout.

You guys are starting to make me re-think my setup. That Sky Bistro press thing looks pretty neat. And hell, if I'm gonna car camp that percolator with the handle might be a good idea. My current method kind of requires micro-managing the whole thing whereas these other methods are pretty much fill it up, put it on, and forget about it. Just when I thought I had it all figured out.....

"...I ALWAYS make a pot in the evening and put it into my Thermos bottle. In the morning while the pot is on the fire I pour myself a cup from thermos and heat it a bit if needed. No waiting that way..."

I do that in our motorhome. Even having all the comforts of home, an instant cup of coffee is heaven...

"...OBG, you're a man of distinction and of taste :-)..."

Thanks. Just don't ask me where I get the coffee that I drink...

"...No sugar or cream to mess it up..."

Yup. It's not coffee if you put that stuff in it!!!

I know that most of you will cry "blasphemy!", but I prefer instant above all other coffees. As a lazy person I enjoy only just adding hot water and stirring but that's just me. It's good for when you're on a break at work (they never last long anyhow, so anything to save some time).

Nope, I have been known to sip a cup of instant from time to time. Not as good as the real stuff, but better than nothing...

I just had to get in on this thread because I love my drip coffee maker I bought at a yard sale in Alaska for $1.00 about ten years ago! It's aluminum which makes it light weight and I can store my stove and coffee cup inside the pot. My current stove is and MSR Pocket Rocket which will get a pot of water boiling in around three minutes. I fill the coffee hopper with grounds, screw it onto the water reservoir, boil the water in one pot and then pour it into the water reservoir which drips into the other pot. While the coffee is dripping I boil another pot of water for oatmeal or whatever I want for breakfast. The only complaint I have is that the metal handles get extremely hot while boiling water. I always carry a handkerchief that I use for a pot holder tho lift the pot off the store or to pour a cup of coffee. Here are a couple of pictures I took tonight of my setup.

Pretty slick. Only problem (for me) is that I like an insulated mug, which probably wouldn't work with that rig. But who knows, it might fit...

I drank instant for a loooong time. No complaints here. But now if I wanna travel extra light I use coffe extract packets. More expensive but I don't buy them very often, mostly for backpacking.
