The best cup of coffee on the trail! I have tried many methods of brewing coffee while backpacking/bike touring/camping, from Coghlans mini coffee filters, to french presses and beyond, and the GSI ultralight java drip is without a doubt the best solution for solo use, and I would say for small groups as well. It has been able to clip to any mug or cup I have tried, and brews a delicious cup of coffee in very little time. I would recommend experimenting at home to figure out the right amount of coffee grounds to get the desired…
Great for backpacking!!! Not only does this one work so well, but it is super lightweight and fits in my Toaks 1100mL pot nicely. The coffee I made out of this tasted way better than any camping coffee I have ever had before (percolators, teabag style, instant, etc.). It was so good I bought all my other backpacking friends one because they were so jealous the first trip when I had it, they all wanted a turn! It cleans off easily, I just flip it inside out and shake it, then just use a little water to rinse it off…
Great product! And update after 3 uses Well so far I tested it once at home and it works just as expected! I used it without a filter, but then the water drips through too fast and you get some weak coffee and it’s tougher to rinse out afterwards. So I will be using a filter next time for easy clean up. Worked beautifully on a hydroflask so I’m sure it will work on most things. Feels pretty darn sturdy for it’s low weight and size. Will be the best way I’ve made coffee in the backcountry I’m sure. I will be testing it out…
