Instant or...

Brew your own with either an Aeropress or pour-over filter. Both take about the same amount of space depending on how you choose to hold the pour-over filter (dedicated cup vs folding frame such as the Snopeak). With either method you can buy and pre grind your beans ahead of time at home and put them in a ziplock bag. Practice at home first to get the dosing and timing right. There are dozens of good videos on how to do this at coffee sites such as Grimpeur, Blue Bottle and Stumptown. And you can google "coffee outside" to see what others are doing.

I really like coffee. If I didn't and space was the sole concern then I would go with the Via. But if you like coffee it's worth the effort to bring a brewing system.

I'll wake this thread up with a bit of strong coffee.

A thermos can make very nice and strong coffee. Add ground coffee and boiling water and let it settle (say 30 minutes or more) before pouring/decanting the coffee off the grains. The thermos has a number of other uses, including "simmering" food that takes a while to cook or simply as a hot/cold water bottle.

Reusable teafilter, fits a large mouth nalgene perfectly. Since it's just a plastic ring and a cloth mesh it folds down completely flat and only weights a couple of grams.

I use the Starbucks vias. Not a big Starbucks fan but these are the best tasting instant coffees I have found. I love a well made cuppa but it's hard to beat the no-fuss nature of these tiny packets. Plus, no additional gear needed.

I pour hot water over coarse ground coffee in my insulated mug.    Stir and wait for grounds to settle to bottom of mug, maybe a couple of minutes, then drink.   No need to carry a coffee press.

I use plain old foldgers or nescafe instant coffee because it's cheaper.  Bikepacking I drink it plain in cold water.  but when camping and I have a stove or fire I also add in some honey and it tastes just fine to me!

Aeropress and the Knock Aergrind grinder if you are, like me, particular about a good cup of coffee.
The Aergrind fits into the Aeropress....and use the inverted brew method on the Aeropress.

I've settled on concentrated cold brew. Make it in advance, take as much as needed. In camp, all that's needed is boiling water.

Not so feasible on a long trip, but for the week-or-less trips I generally do, it's great.

If you've got access to boiling water, the Trader Joe's pour over coffee bags aren't bad. It's not the greatest cup of coffee ever, but it is real coffee. It's a one shot deal, and therefore isn't any good for longer trips. Makes ~2 cups of coffee.

I recommend that you siphon yourself off coffee pre-trip. Yes, it is hard to get off the addiction, but it is worth it.

My wife is a Starbucks snob and disagrees with me, but I'm a big fan of Community instant coffee.

My last trip, I brought course ground coffee and a 4-cup reusable filter basket. Heat the water, throw the grounds into the water, sit for 5 minutes, then filter into my coffee cup. This does require a pot and cup, but since I was with two others, that was a non-issue. Weight penalty was less than an ounce for the filter plus whatever I carried in coffee.

Immersion basket.
Coffee goes inside the basket which is inside the cup.  Add hot water, wait 4 minutes, lift basket out of double wall cup, works.


The double wall 200 ml cup and basket have been warmed with hot water, the paper filter has dark roast coffee grounds in it, the water is boiling,  and ready to add to the basket in the cup.

Somehow brewing the coffee in the cup you drink it out of makes it taste better.


Light weight and easy to carry, fits inside the cup.
If the basket is close in size to the cup, the coffee has the best flavor.
Temperature is important to how the coffee tastes.  with the basket inside the coffee cup the temperature stays a little higher than a press.
First I warm the cup and basket with hot water, then I put a paper filter in the basket and add coffee, then hot water, about 4 minutes and lift the basket from the double wall cup, mine is 200 ml.

This is working for me, good flavor and easy to carry.

I’m happy enough with instant black, because a hot drink on the hill tastes good if it’s posh or poor. Current instant of choice is something from Cafe direct. Advantage of instant is you don’t have grounds to dispose of or wash out of your mug/coffee device. Very minor, but adds to the sense of leave no trace.
