Compact Coffee Maker Folds Flat

[Cosmo]

My solution.
They fold flat if you are pinched for space. Wash clean very easily. No flavor detected. - Silicone

I have been using this one while backpacking. Works the same, but no filter needed. Can't beat the size and weight of this guy.

For every day use I use the Clever Coffee Dripper which has a plunger to hold the hot water in it until so it can steep for a few minutes before pouring into your mug. Best coffee dripper ever!

It amazing how much space can be saved. I bought a collapsible colander. There is a water bowl in different sizes also with a clip on it that I use for my dogs.

For about a month now, I've been making my coffee in a French Press purchased from Walmart (I believe it was <$15). It does get a little of the coffee grounds in the cup, but since I like the chocolate covered coffee beans I figure it's just another way to get my daily quota of caffeine. The little hiker tea kettle used to heat my water reminds me of the tea set we had bought our daughters when they were little. It does make a tasty cup of coffee though if you remember you have to let the grounds soak (steep) for 4-5 minutes before serving. Added benefit, no paper filters to get rid of, just pour the gounds out.

That silicone one-hitter is clever. I might pick one up.

Pour-over coffeemakers like this with a filter also make an excellent pre-filter for scavenged water. Run the water through a coffee filter before it goes into your $$$ water purification system. Super cheap and extends the life of the $$$ filters. On a related note, a study once found that filtering Ganges water through a folded sari reduced the cholera load by half. Still not good enough but every bit may help.

For those on the lookout for a french press: you can find them for a $2-$3 at garage sales and thrift shops. I use one here at home but they are bulky and fragile.

I've been using cloth coffee filters for 20 years. The only draw back is cleaning them. You need soap and water. I can't find the one I use online. I bought 5 or 6 years ago. It is rare to see them at any land based store. The cloth on mine is nylon, but the cotton ones should work. 

These should be fine, or do your own search for cloth coffee filters or strainers.

Does not take long to realize how important coffee is to survival and well being.

Another reusable filter option is But its not collapsible http://amzn.to/2m0Gq7h
Another one cupper is this one with a built in filter. http://amzn.to/2mxPqEh

In me trying to do my best to avoid plastic, especially in contact with hot fluids I took a H2JO from GSI and cut all the plastic off. So all stainless steel just fling the grounds out and add fresh grounds for the next cup, prop it up in my mug using a spork and pour the hot water on the grounds, remove the filter and enjoy.

Amazing. Here is an all stainless steel model!

The more I poke around the more coffee seems to be the glue that holds the universe together.

The true coffee aficionado will settle for nothing less than their own coffee roaster too. Roasted beans start oxidizing quickly. Green beans stay fresh much longer than roasted.

Grandma used to roast in a pan. I have used a hot air popcorn maker and it worked fine. Warning - the smell of roasting coffee will attract sleepy campers to your area.

I currently use the plastic Melita coffee dripper. Works well, but needs paper cones. For awhile I have been making do with big flat bottomed #2 filters, just bought the correct #4 cones.
Looked at those sillycone folding filters, but space is not a problem. I ordered one of the stainless type with it's own steel mesh. Supposed to arrive tomorrow.

I was at the local Walmart yesterday and saw a collapsible silicone cup in the camping section for $1.88. It looked similar to the one in the link. If holes were drilled in the bottom it would become a compact coffee filter holder. It was just the right size for it. I'll probably pick a couple up next time I am there.

Nice find. Thanks. Mine has 2 holes in the bottom to drain the coffee. I would start with one or two holes no bigger tha 1/8 inch diameter to slow the draining and allow more brew time. Wet the grounds before flooding for better saturation. Have fun experimenting and report your findings.
