Title: GSI ULTRALIGHT WEIGHT JAVA DRIP REVIEW. Post by solotripper on Nov 21st, 2017 at 5:47pm
I'm sure other's here know about or have one of these. But for those who are always looking for an easy way to get a good cup of coffee then this might be for you?
A friend gave this to me as an early B-Day present. I've been playing with it using various grinds of coffee and amounts. It's geared more to solo users but you could make enough for 2 with a big enough mug. I use an old ladies knee high sock to brew coffee now and will still take as a back-up, but this is going along too. (You need to Login or Register |

A little update. IF you use a really fine ground coffee you will get some sediment in your brew. I guess that's why they said it was compatible with small coffee filters. Using regular drip grind, no filters needed. |

I think I'll get the combo with the blue insulated mug. I love my rei mug but it's just plastic.
I've seen this posted on another board and it looks like a good idea for me to get lighter with less volume. I always would take my GSI large french press. |

Title: Re: GSI ULTRALIGHT WEIGHT JAVA DRIP REVIEW. Post by solotripper on Nov 22nd, 2017 at 4:22pm Thanks for the feedback/info zski [smiley=thumbsup.gif] One of the things I didn't like about the GSI was the fact ( according to directions) that you had to clip those little legs to the rim of the cup to use. I like that you don't have to do that with the Primula. I just made a mug of coffee with the GSI but just set it in the mug like the Primula. It worked that way too which is good to know. One of the things I like about people doing Gear reviews is that you always get a lot of feedback with people telling you how THEY do things or ANOTHER product that does the same thing. 8-) |

The drip method described in the GSI instructions produces a weaker cup of coffee, or requires more coffee grounds for a stronger cup. I agree that leaving the mesh directly in the cup works better.

For lightweight and small this (You need to Login or Register works very well. I use it by making "cowboy" coffee and then pouring it through the filter and into my mug. There is also this solution (You need to Login or Register makes a great cup of coffee (one cup at a time) but is heavier and takes up more space (I use it with a reusable mesh filter rather than a paper filter). Works good for camping or for tossing in your carry on bag with some decent coffee so you don't have to suffer through hotel coffee.
