I am a coffee addict so I have tried lots of stuff and this is what works for me.  I have a love hate relationship with stoves and cooking equipment when bike packing.  They take up valuable space.  At the end of a hard day the last thing I want to do is dick around cooking and then worse, clean up.  Then there is the wet garbage issue.  Over time I have found I only use my stove for coffee.  But then in the morning I don't want to sit around I want to get going.  Rather than having coffee I often just have a GU Expresso Love gel.  That has enough caffine in it to keep the caffine withdrawal at bay.  There is also a product called Caffino or something like that.  It is a power that you mix in a water bottle.  It tastes like a gritty mocha. I have used it a few times but then you have to clean your water bottle out.  These days I debate whether or not to even bring a stove each trip.  More often than not I never use it.  The more years I do this the simplier my kit becomes.
