Well it was ground this morning.

I'm a huge fan of the Aeropress. It makes great coffee. I've used mine nearly every day for coming up 3 years, and like others have mentioned its lightweight, fairly compact and virtually indestructible. It comes with me on most trips. Highly recommend!

you mean condensed milk with coffee added LOL....... These days Im a tea drinker and for ease of carry and less mess or fuss a wee sachet of chai latte gets the nod....in my 750ml SS mug two sachets really gives the body a boost...caramelised while chocolate ones are good too. with the only things being needed to carry being the mug,lid tiny beer can cooker and hexi frame the sachets just make sense for me.

I've always used jeds bags but thanks to all you lot (and 2 ripped jeds bags on my last trip) I now have an aeropress on the way...

It beats the crap out of other instants, and I prefer it over a Jed’s coffee bag (or even a Nespresso).

But if I had a jetboil I would get a coffee press

And it has more mmmmmmmmm

Interesting thread. I've tried a few things over time and have settled on a big stainless steel double wall plunger for the hut - makes 3 mugs of good coffee, but too heavy for a walk in
Jeds coffee bags have been the go-to for backpack trips
But now I have https://alternativebrewing.com.au/pr...t-travel-press one of these! Lightweight plunger that seals up properly. You know what that means - a cup of coffee on the hill!

Yes got the nepresso capsule version (no rinding up coffee etc) for 18 months works really well

I got this - https://woodknotgear.com/shop/ols/pr...ar-press-900ml

French press, ended up putting a nut on the lid handle end so it doubles as cooking pot too.

I use one of those dripper net things that clip over the cup. Seems to do well. I also use Jeds sachets but the last box or 2 i bought honestly tasted shite, real bitter like its burnt

Has anyone tried one of these in a KMART Jet boil? https://bushbuck.co.nz/products/toma...32918875111523

I used to take in Jeds coffee bags but they didn't taste great. It made it all too obvious to me that I had a caffeine addiction problem as I couldn't honestly tell myself I was enjoying the coffee. I just needed them to top up the caffeine levels to prevent the withdrawals. I'm caffeine-free at the moment, but if (let's be honest - when) I get back on it I intend to take in one of those AeroPress things from Macpac. They look good.

Nescafe Intense instant coffee. Black. Tried the fancy pants mocha sachets, turns out instant is the winner. Don't hate me.

Yeah, out hunting is the only time I drink instant coffee. It's not great, but beats mucking around in the morning or withdrawal symptoms.

Yeah, I make great coffee at home with a system that cost less than that!
