Try northern mountain supply. They have coffee and cappatino makers for backpackers. Two other options are instant coffee, or "cowboy coffee" What is cowboy coffe? Let me explaine. Put some of your favorite coffee in a pan. Fill the pan with water. Boil for a few minutes. Not for the faint of heart, but it is coffee!

Mmmm.... cowboy coffee.... heard of it since I was a kid... I'll do that when necessary. I like a few grounds, the operative word being few, as opposed to straining them out with my front teeth.

Coffee in Peru
I just posted this on another thread, and it also seemed relevant here:


"Oh, by the way, along with Inca Cola did you know the Incas invented Nescafe - yes that is why when you order coffe in Peru you are served a jar of Nescafe and hot water.
This is evidenced by Lineas Nazca or in English Nescafe Lines "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_Lines

Eat , Drink Coffee and Be Careful

Talking Coffee
Have to have it lots in the AM to start the day and I carry a press but if you haven't tried Dark Choclate covered Coffee Beans your missing out an ounce of this goodness is about the same as 5 cups espresso

I have it the cowboy way usually using Lavaza(italian) or Gevalia(swedish)
ground bean coffees, but the trick is to let the ground coffee settle on the bottom of your pot, and then pour it carefully and you will get a perfect cup of coffee every time!
Its all in the settling of the coffee and a gentle pour, if poured patiently none of the ground coffee will get in your cup.A firm tap on the side of the pot usually helps the coffee to sink.
Every time im on the road or hiking, i use this trusty method which once mastered never fails to deliver a perfect cup of black gold nectar.

I normaly make cowboy coffee. The trick not to heat the water to much, if the water boils then the coffee gets bitter and taste like €&@%#. When water starts to talk and makes small bubles then it is perfect temperatur.

Boz, pour your or any slosh thru this into your cup, frikkin perfect coffee every time. No slag. Do NOT put coffee in it, use it only as a final filter.

Saw little 'Turkish coffee pots'in my local coffee bean shop, works same as Lebanese coffee in that you boil the grinds in the little pot and then pour, can be a bit gritty though.

Too lazy to troll though all of the coffee posts so maybe duplicating stuff here

Bo-Camp Coffee press
Just bought this from Stan at the Overland Event on the weekend.
£7.50, 37g.

Bo-Camp Coffee press – The Overlander

Comes out a bit weak compared to a Bialetti percolator but no worse than any other press I imagine. Reminds me of old cafetiere coffee.
Maybe buying #5 strength coffee will work.

A bit of a faff to rinse if water is scarce, but light and compact.
