I have a *$ one kind of that I liked a lot. But a mouse chewed up the silicone seal on the screen on my last backpacking trip.

Super low tech, Jet boil water and Nescafe instant. Works for me.

Amen on the water! It's a critical ingredient often overlooked. Love Chicago but the water tastes and smells like a chlorine pool.
When living there I always used a reverse osmosis system to purify my water and then pour over using a ceramic cone and Mellitta filter.
I do need to graduate to espresso, life's too short not to start the day with great coffee.

That's an impressive coffee production system!!
But, why do you take a sheep (3rd pic) along to the 'wilds of NV'?
I've become sold on the 3-in-1 instant coffee from the Asian market. It's inexpensive, and tastes absolutely nothing like American instant packets. They seem to start with good coffee, and add some sort of creamer and a small amount of sugar. Check it out:
Might have to try me some of that ^ . Hard to say what extra non FDA approved ingredients they might be adding though

I use an FJ55 and an inverter.
I don't leave home without my pour over gear:
1. Home roasted beans (This weekend: Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Dumerso)
2. Porlex hand grinder (not pictured)
3. Snow Peak Gigapower single burner stove on top of whatever fuel canister
4. Snow Peak pour over dripper (folds flat, uses standard filters, and makes 2 cups if you're creative)

I travel with my palm civet and collect fresh beans as it poops them out.
Fancy pants.
I use the REI DoubleShot French Press Mug. It makes a large cup of coffee, can be carabiner'd to the backpack, and stores enough grounds in the base for an extra one or two emergency cups.
After trying dozens of options I go with a French Press. Coffee tastes great but just as important: quick, simple to use and clean up is simple.
Cheap Vietnamese coffee maker. My parents use it at home for 20 years before we picked up a modern coffee maker.
Pros
Light
Cheap
Easy to use
Cons
Single cups
Slow drip system
Small portion
I used to keep it in my camping box till my GF and I switched to Vietnamese or American instant coffee packs. We have sugar and powdered creamer in the rig. We are not picky when it comes to camp coffee so it works out.

Have tried drip, REI French press, but always come back to my old-reliable, the MOKA Express. Typically need the jolt of a good espresso when camping, and I never worry about it getting broken bouncing around the camp kitchen box. Mine will pass down to at least one more generation with little more than a gasket replacement once every 10 years.
where can I find that french press? all of the ones I have seen have too much plastic or rubber on themAfter trying dozens of options I go with a French Press. Coffee tastes great but just as important: quick, simple to use and clean up is simple.
