French press is amazingly easy but does require the press. They are cheap from REI etc and you can get small-ish ones. (Snow Peak actually makes a titanium one. It may not be the best coffee-maker material, but titanium stuff is almost magical just to hold! :)) Making French press coffee benefits from (may require; I've never tried without) a really coarse grind. So you may have to grind it yourself or get it ground separately from other coffee you get. You *can* get a portable manual grinder and grind it at camp... but pre- measured pre-ground coffee in a baggie or a nalgene bottle is what I've always done. Love coffee though I do, I have my limits. . . "
Ah, a gent after my own heart. My mess includes the following coffee set-up: a 700 Snow Peak mug coupled with a Jetboil french press adapter, which fits the 700 poifectly! Much cheaper than the Snow Peak complete french press if you already have the 700. And I have a 450 double-walled Ti Snow Peak mug, which I use every single morning, camping or no. (My other Snow Peak every-day-carry is the short spork, or as I call it, my stubby.) http://shop.jetboil.com/index.php/coffee-press.html http://www.backcountry.com/snow-peak-cookware Because I'm no spring chicken and embarrass myself with a fully loaded bike on hills, I'm endeavoring to as little as I can get away with. When I car-camp, I absolutely delight in my Bellman Stove-Top Espresso and Cappuccino Maker and my Hario hand-grinder. Pure heaven. Perhaps I should hide them in one of the strong young buck's saddle bags???? http://kasbahouse.com/detail.asp?product_id=55 http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/Hario-Skeleton-Skerton-Coffee-Mill-p/scg11550-50.htm -liesl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
