Formerly known as the "eco-friendly bicycling photographer" of Long Beach. I've since traveled 10,000 miles through the US as PathLessPedaled.com. I now find myself in the US bike epicenter - Portland. Join me as I re-enter the working world to save for the next adventure.
You learn something new everyday. I have some Ortlieb gear but had no idea that they made a folding coffee filter holder! The Ortlieb product isn't a filter itself, but it does replace the hard plastic cones that paper filters fit into. Reader Shane enlightened me to this fact with a YouTube video demonstrating how he makes coffee on the road.
Thanks Shane for the submission! Anyone else want to share how they get their morning cup of Joe?
I like to travel as light as possible when it comes to touring, so no coffee filter of any kind for me.
Instead, I buy beans and have them ground to the finest setting, usually "Turkish" grind. Simply add the grounds to the cup, pour the hot water in and let sit for a minute. Then stir so most of the grounds sink, give it another minute and scrap off any floaters from the top.
I'm just a bit of a coffee snob, so I carry a Svea alcohol stove and a Nalgene french press. http://tinyurl.com/french-press It makes great coffee, even if it does weigh more than Hocam's cowboy coffee
Coffee is coffee first thing in the morning when you need caffeine NOW! However I prefer mine fresh ground and the french press is the best way to get it going on the road.
I use a GSI They have a sweet little grinder too I don't have their grinder I use an older hand held one.

I call it cowboy coffee.
It seems like quite a long process for such a little amount. By the time you clean up and put everything away, you coffee is cold!
