I've got a plastic gizmo that works just like your cone filter thing. It has a little removable hoppper/filter in the bottom that you remove, put your coffee into, then you sit the thing on top of your mug, pour water into, wait a few minutes, and a nice hot cup of real coffee. Then I replaced it with an insulated mug with built in coffee press. I actually liked the drip/cone thing better, but this is one less thing to carry around (altho I don't backpack anymore, I do car camp, and ya gotta have coffee in the am)...
