RE: [Philmont]: Coffee Questions

In the advisors meeting at base camp before your crew sets out, they give
you updates on safety, bear sightings, fire ban/noban, etc. They spend a
considerable amount of time sharing as much information with the advisors as
possible.

After that, they open up their coffee table to the advisors, most worried
sick about how survival happens with no coffee. The Coffee table contains
instants, bot caf and decaf, sugar, blue packets, pink packets, ndc's
(non-dairy creamers) and I think tea. They even have a few ziplocks laying
around.

While it isn't a Vente Drip, no room or a "triple vente, soy latte, extra
hot no foam", it ain't that bad and has basically the same caffeine hit as
your usual. As a card-carrying, stock-owning Starbucks person, I was happy
for it and drank it with a grateful attitude :-).

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.
