	Solus wrote on Oct 27^th, 2014 at 3:33pm: 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* to view media files and links) 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

	I liked Solus suggestion with the brewing basket and purchased both sizes since shipping was about as much as the basket. This seems to be the right thinking IMO. The basket is very light but reasonably strong. The smaller size (medium) was bigger than I thought it would be and that will be the size that should interest canoe trippers. The larger size will be regulated to steeping cups of tea on the home front. Boil water, throw grounds directly in (cowboy coffee) and strain through filter into cup. Presto.......No heavy complicated press, no little bags to fill etc. etc. Thanks Solus, this will be a significant upgrade for me with very little sacrifice in terms of weight or bulk up

	I have a solo cook kit that includes one pot (a little over a liter) and the pot holds the mug, plastic bowl, filter and spoon. Packed small, but having just one pot was time consuming (coffee- clean pot, oatmeal- clean pot, coffee again), so I went back to my 2 nesting pots so I could do coffee and oatmeal without cleaning or re-priming the stove.

	this topic has been worked over pretty well, and i'm just fine with starbucks via instant coffee for camping. butt: while waiting for my wife to finish shopping, found these in the kitchen section at Marshall's. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links); packs flat and looks durable. .at 2.49 nothing to lose. like Solus, one of my favorites is Peet's Major Dickason's Blend. this year, we brew.
