    I agree that the GSI press in the 50oz model is the best coffee maker for backpacking you can have. I have used mine for a couple of years and have never regretted the purchase price. My old perk style pot takes 35 to 40 minutes of perking to get a 12 cup pot of drinkable coffee. The press will get you about the same amount of coffee after getting the water to boil and then waiting the 5 minute brew time. I have found that I like to use more coffee than is called for. I use the two tablespoon Chock Full of Nuts scoop and find that 5 scoops (10 Tablespoons) is good for a more robust coffee. It is way faster than perked.

    If you’re into drip like me, you’ve gotta try one of these that I picked up on a fishing trip to Cape Town. Most compact coffee making contraption I’ve evr owned. Makes damn fine coffee too.
