I think your funny PJ, in that twisted " Oh NO he didn't way"
And any guy who sends a picture of themselves "sunning" on the beach with libation in hand and has a wife who laughs at it, should count his blessings over a leisurely cup of camp Joe every paddling morning

A good laugh, indeed . Efficient..... , that's why I drink instant. Dont want to cut the tackle box down so the french press got ditched. Cant ditch the Outback cause boy and the I like fish pizza to much, bread and chocolate cake too. So I take pictures to pass the cooking time and let the youngster catch a few more ZZZ's so we're efficient on the portages, and I get some utter silence. We all have our methods of madness. PJ your a lucky man to have gotten it so young, kudos. Here is to the morning cup and all that follows, Skoal!

AH italian roast

I tried the asian instant coffees described in this thread and was not overly impressed. I usually use a press at home but wanted something, shall we say, a bit different for trippin. I found Solus's comments stuck with me for a long time so I gave the "moka pot" a try. Impressive indeed. Strong and a tad thick but not bitter. I think I have found a new friend.

On a big trip it's a tad heavy and I worry about breaking the handle while in the pack. It also uses a fair amount of coffee per cup............but it's pretty dang good!
Makes one cup BTW

Instant coffee is an abomination not to be endured.
