Seriously awesome. - GSI Collapsible Java Drip

got tired of bad, overly acidic instant coffee (even the packaged stuff from the coffee company on every other corner was pretty terrible). this makes great coffee! as a bonus, it seems a LOT easier to clean up after than a french press, which is nice when you're camping in back or front country, and especially in bear country. Just throw the filter containing the grounds in your trash bag and pack it out, nothing to wipe down, no messy loose grounds to deal with. And this thing collapses to be quite small. yes, the grounds are extra weight to carry out, but good coffee is worth it to me, and this makes GOOD coffee. cons are it does use quite a few paper filters, which is a bummer and the grounds will weigh more, obviously, to pack out. You can, however, make a bunch into multiple cups or a thermos at once, reducing filters used. pros: i own an aeropress and its awesome when the seal works correctly, but I've found this to make just as delicious coffee and be less messy, so i have started to use this thing at home as well. get yo self one!
