I think the finum filter is small light and less hassle than the filter bags. It easily slides into my small stainless cup. I simply throw grounds in boiling water, wait a minute or two and pour through the filter into my cup.   (You need to Login or Register

Geez, could anything be simpler? Rumor has it that you should wait 30 seconds after boiling the water before adding grounds........not sure I am to that level of coffee sophistication (I usually just take instant) and couldn't tell the dif. Adding grounds to boiling water was always the way we made it in deer camp and it was great even without straining the grounds.

The trade off is another pan to rinse? Make the coffee in the oatmeal pan and then strain into a cup? ("That would be correct sir")

What if your entire mess kit is the stainless steel cup as is often the case on back packing trips? Probably back to instant anyways for space and weight considerations.........I have to use 2 of those Starbucks vias to make a decent cup.

Speaking of cups.......while I love my Evernew Titanium pan I despise titanium cups. They are easily crushed and stuff gets cold really fast. My stainless steel cup has been on every outdoor adventure for the past 2 decades, just have to place the handle upwind ;)
