if you're willing to spend more, you can get much better, apparently.  this one seems fine to me.

I use the older version of this:

I have had it like 15 yrs and it still works fine. 

Three settings for how coarse it grinds.  I french press and it works great.

What's the elite way to make coffee if'n you're car camping?

I do a perculator but French Press works perfectly.

I really don't understand coffee snobbery. The amount of effort required to get a cup of coffee that tastes slightly better than auto-drip coffee just doesn't seem worth it.

French press removes the filter and gives you all the oil that a filter normally catches.  I prefer it quite a bit.   

Also, my bro bought me an Aeropress for xmas.  Didn't get around to trying it until this summer.  It makes really good Espresso and cafe americano(if that is your thing)

I use a reuseable filter.

time exposed to water is the other big deal for me.  Can control how bitter it can get.  My opinion may be skewed by the fact that most coffee prepared with drip is also folgers or something like that.

For me coffee just wakes me up and gets the mail moving.  On extended vision quest-y type trips I usually just throw a couple packs of Starbucks frappuccino's in the cooler.  But drinking something cold when it's cold outside seems weird.  Might try this French press thingamabob.

french press is good for american style coffee.  if you like espresso style you can use an italian maker no prob while camping.

for real simple, the starbucks instants (via) aren't bad at all.  supposedly there are other decent instant brands too, but i've only tried the starbucks.  drink them all the time in hotels.

I have never met anyone that regularly drinks coffee that doesn't also have terrible crap breath.  Buncha crap mouthers around here apparently.  Gross.

Quantity is the key factor here. There used to be a guy at the office who would brew about 3 pots of coffee every day just for himself. JFC, I could smell his breath at my desk when he was standing at the door to my office. The normal people who only drink 1-3 cups per day probably don't have good breath, but it's not bad enough to complain about.

That's kind of what I'm talking about. "controlling how bitter" coffee is doesn't matter to me - I can't tell a significant difference between, say, Blue Bottle or regular coffee shop coffee, for example.

I DO however grind whole beans. It seems like anything additional is a huge jump in work required with a miniscule improvement in flavor.

[CNS]

If you don't taste a diff, then I can understand.  Simple is great.

That said, I became a fan of my french press because it made coffee that actually tasted good to me without having to over sugar it or anything, back before I was anything close to a coffee snob. 

[pissclams]

hey fellas, how about that coffee, huh?  it's something else. 

[Mr Bread]

Clams coming in hot.  Keep your heads down boys. 

[kim carnes]

I feel like a douche when I'm walking around the office with my French press but hey, I do it anyway.

[pissclams]

ya i wouldn't feel like a douche when i'm walking around the office with my french press and let me tell you why.  because french press coffee is way better than that folgers crap- and oh by the way, i deserve the good crap.  i strut with my french press.

I usually just drink the Folgers.

rusty, i'm looking for a new bean to try.  where is your favorite bean harvested from (farm/region/country)?

I drink hot tea in the morning.

Ok, I,m new to this thread.....just tell me how losery I am for drinking the free folgers at work? It ain't much, they just have them small styrofoam cups, I have been getting tired of those cause my mojo gets cold too fast in them so I just bring my own cup now.

Also, I have to have cream and sugar, they just have plain cream in the chowder....what ways can I spice it up?  Liquor? Or just some French vanilla or Irish cream? 

Ok, laugh away......and to all you people with your fancy coffee talk, bite me
