Like Russ at Trailcraft, I need coffee in the morning when I’m hiking.
He’s recommending a new one on me:
The Press-Bot Coffee Press by ventureDESIGNworks made great coffee. In fact, everyone in the group enjoyed it. The only complaint was that it was occasionally difficult to remove from the Nalgene bottle. …
As an added bonus, the PRESS-BOT only weighs 2.8 ounces!
No doubt Russ will be mortified with my preferred hiking coffee “system”. I buy tubes of Nestle sweetened condensed milk and mix it with instant coffee. Fast, easy and … surprisingly delicious.
In fact, I’ve even tried the coffee flavoured sweetened condensed milk. (Not nearly as good.)
This product is available throughout South America, in Australia and Europe. But I’ve not yet found it in Canada or the USA.
Leave a comment if you know where I can get it in North America.

Instant coffee should be abolished.
I, too, “need” my coffee on the trail… seems to be my only vice. I’m sitting here now wondering why the heck I haven’t made any yet this morning. (Soon as click Submit!)
On the trail my current preferred system is the MSR mugmate… if i remember correctly it’s 26 grams/just under 1 ounce.
I save the French press for home.
“26 grams/just under 1 ounce”
Nice.
Plus coffee weight.
Plus coffee weight, well yeah, but when you’re an addict that’s as important as food and water and not a thought is given to it… umm, well, I suppose I do think about not overdoing it on coffee, smaller portions than at home; just some to “fuel” me and feed the jones.
