      Yes, agreed. Why is this even in shitpost? I wonder if h0rni has ever tried a percolator. I don’t mind it while I’m camping, but when I’m home I prefer a Moka pot. I also want strong, bitter coffee. I can’t stand instant, but sometimes I will add it to my wife’s weak-ass brew. I can see through hers! I should never be able to see through my coffee.

      A couple years ago, I got the French press kit for my Firemaple X1 to take camping. It’s super light and breaks down flat. The kit, not the X1 itself. But it’s so much more work to clean than a percolator! The grounds stick to the rough texture of the titanium walls, and I typically end up dribbling it over the edge and down the outside when I pour. That stains the neoprene sleeve and I have to then wash that. I’m thinking about going back to a percolator for camping, but that is so much extra room I’m already used to not needing to account for.

      I suppose I could just bring my 2-cup Moka pot, that would be the happy medium. It’s smaller than a percolator, and easier to clean than the French press. The issue there is that if I’m not solo camping, I typically share the coffee. And nobody I go with likes the Moka pot.

      Tell me about your coffee!

        I have a pretty neat french press thing that’s a straight walled tumbler with an inner sleeve that has a mesh filter at the bottom. Fill with hot water and coffee, wait a sec, put the sleeve in, and you’re good to go.

        As a bonus, the coffee stays in the whole time so it gets stronger as you drink.

        But it is a bitch to clean, which is why I bring a pour-over set camping.

          Oh, interesting! I’ve never heard of such a thing. I have a Nanopresso for at work, but it makes such a tiny amount it’s purely for caffeine and not enjoyment. I want to get the double shot kit for it, but I have seen a lot of bad reviews for it. All the office provides are Keurigs, but plastic waste aside, they taste like watery ass.
