Re: [Philmont]: Coffee Questions

While I was content with the instant I brought (and the advisor's coffee at
staff camps, which ranged in quality from good to undrinkable), I did
notice that REI sells a lightweight (the titanium one weighs 7 oz) french
press for those of you who can't drive by a Starbucks without running in
for a "3 shot, no foam, soy milk, extra hot,.........ad nauseum". You'd
probably have to sacrifice grinding your own beans before each cup
(although they might let you use the mano and metate at Apache Springs
<g>), but I would have to say, it would probably beat the taste of instant
(and advisor's coffee). The other option I saw at REI is a little doodad
called a cup.pour.ri. Same concept as the "coffee tea bag", just without
the waste of the individual bags. I guess you bring your favorite flavor
of ground coffee and cup.pour.ri does the rest.

Folgers singles always work for me. No, they're not the second coming of
"the cup of coffee from heaven", but they're still pretty darn good when
you're on the trail. They're lightweight, they pack small and they taste
pretty good.
