[pct-l] To all the coffee lovers

[Stephen]

Another thought on trail coffee.
I love my rich french roast that I make at home and on the trail, but I am 
looking at ounces for the longer hike I am trying to plan.  I ussually bring 
along one of those 16oz plastic insulated mugs with lid.  Keeps coffee warm 
for those relaxing mornings in beautiful places.  But it weighs 5 or 6 ozs 
and if I do instant I pour stir, add a shot of cool water in a light weight 
sigle wall cup and I'm off.  Not only is the instant a heck of a lot less 
messing around and lighter, it is also less bulky, cheaper, and so forth. So 
I can save more weight all around at the risk of probably drinking less 
coffee over all which would be better anyway.  So I'll probably start off 
with a little of both and give up the Frech Roast by Echo Lake ( I will be 
hiking into VVR from around Bishop.) .

You've got a few choices...

Instant (the Freeze dried stuff from Trader Joes is good, the mainstream 
brands are not)
Tea Bag type - Folgers and Milstone both make them. I use 2 per cup
JavaJuice - Highly concentrated coffee. Add to hot water. Comes in plain and 
flavors
Coffee Press - Messy and heavy

there are other ways to make coffee on the trail, but these are what I've 
tried and what works for me. These days I do the JavaJuice thing.

HTH,
