coffee filters. The best way to make coffee on a camping trip (again, IMO)
is with a French Press. You can get plastic nonbreakable ones in different
sizes.


I broke the glass in my French Press last year at Craig, Mt.

This was, for me, a major emergency and I went to the Fly Shop and asked for
help. Mike ( I believe, I'm right ) is the very, very, nice guy at the
shop ( it also has one real jerk that always makes me wish I was shopping
elsewhere ) ... and he spend considerable time, even drawing a detailed map,
directing me to a tea shop in Great Falls ( 45 miles ) that was the best
bet. I rushed there hoping to replace the glass. No such luck, mine
was an odd size I guess, but they did have a Press/ drinking cup combo that
is wonderful ... all but unbreakable.

Tea, is, of course, another drink that can consume the consumer. The
little lady in the shop was SO nice and her place smelled SO great I took my
wife there when she flew in and she purchased samples of several teas. I'm
on orders to replenish her supply when I return to the area ... guess that
means I'm on orders to visit the Missouri again G

Santa also brought me a new press for the trailer, the glass fits inside a
protective plastic piece. I agree with rw, these presses are a most
excellent way to make coffee while 'camping.' I do have one recurring
problem in the Greater Yellowstone Area ... disposing of the used grounds
.... I don't want to put them down the trailer sink drain, they seem to not
empty from the holding tanks well .... and nice smelly coffee grounds seem a
little too inviting to just dump in bear country ? ... don't really want
to meet a Grizzly on caffeine

When using a French press you should grind the coffee more coarsely than
with filter coffee to avoid grounds.
