@0:26 They also sell the filter without the legs, which packs down VERY small, and weighs only 4 grams..! Just place it inside the cup, pour over water, stirr to make sure all grains are soaked, and let it brew for as long as you prefer 👍
I have the blue press..used it twice..works great!! I have 2 of the little black flat fold java drips..I LOVE THEM!! use them daily!! NO filter..make cowboy coffee..let steep and pour..one inside one for car and outdoors. Have had them close to 2 years..i also have the 3 cup percolator..LOVE IT!!! Also use the stainless GSI GLACIER KETTLE to boil water...
I purchased the Java drip for hiking the CDT starting this Apr 2023 but I don’t really like it. It’s because it’s all “hanging in the air”. My favorite is the GSI Coffee Rocket. I’ve got both. I’ll start with the Java drip but will keep the Coffee Rocket in my bounce box. May end up changing. So I’m covered!! Good coffee all the way to Canada!!!! 😎😎 Thanks for the vid. Good to see you are coming back to YT.PS I’ve got that GSI coffee cup also. Light n had measurements that are so handy on the trail.
If someone forced me to give up my AeroPress, I'd probably go for the UL Drip or the Rocket, if they turned out better than my Stanley Cook + Brew (my backup backup after 2 APs). Another great video to enjoy my morning coffee to...thanks, Ernie!
I had a glass coffee carafe/press that the glass cracked. The screen and rod fit my Staley Adventure cup perfectly. Since I already carry the cup, its a win/win.
So I am stuck in a hotel room with hotel coffee until my mission ends for the Guard (love being a medic but you are the first one called up when shit hits the fan). Not good. So I ordered that GSI Drip coffee thing on your recommendation. With some Bushcraft Coffee (yes I am plugging them because it is outstanding coffee and a great bunch of guys) the hotel is way better. Thank you for the recommendation for this thing. I appreciate it. Happy trails.
Hey Doc, something just occurred to me. Background-i make cold coffee as a shake with instant n add cream. I just thought of dripping cold water thru coffee with the Java Drip and than add the cream. Shake it up as usual and wala! I wonder with the water cold would one have Caffiene in the liquid still??
Great vid. coffee coffee coffee. I have the coffee rocket and love it. But for winter in upstate ny the cold air will diminish the temp. Have used aluminum foil under the drip to keep the coffee in the cup covered to retain heat and cover the reservoir to also retain heat. PAIN. Do you think the collapsible java drip would keep the coffee brewing process hotter in 10 degrees if I covered the filter area with the lid?
We're did you get the handle from. Didn't come out of the kit. I have one and no were to put that shaft for the press. Go drip. Lol. I watch a lot of your videos. Just busting you.
As users of public lands, it is our responsibility to try to leave as small a footprint as possible. This includes following Leave No Trace principals. While coffee is biodegradable, it should be packed out. Not only is it a best practice, but it's rule pretty much everywhere. If you're not sure, you can contact the local ranger station or trail organization. I hope this helps. Cheers
An infuser works well; also DIY " coffee bags " made by placing a approximately a tablespoon of ground coffee into a paper coffee filtre, and tying it off with a bit of unwaxed dental floss makes a very useful, and economical " coffee bag " which can then be used like any commercially made " tea bag ".
There are some good micronized instant coffee choices out there and you don't need the extra gear... Not as gourmet as fresh ground but still good for trail
I use a tall tea ball you poor boiling water over it in your pot or your cup...your water will get dark before the coffee's ready... don't be fooled thinking your coffee is ready before it is...I would steep your coffee grounds for around 5 minutes...you can taste it and see if it is ready to your taste at 5 minutes or if you need to steep it a little longer...a tall tea ball is ultralight light and it will make you a tasty cup of coffee..
You might be old if you think explaining how a Coffee Peculator functions is a comedy routine. Then realize it's not!!! Because there are snot noses out there that drink coffee who have never used a peculator. SMH. At first I was like "He's joking about explaining how a coffee peculator works, right?" LOL MY BAD! This is kin to teaching someone how to dial a rotary phone. [me: man showing his age]
Please, do not LITTER your coffee grounds. Just because something is biodegradable does not mean you should dump it. Unless it is native to the area, leaving coffee grounds, peanut shells, sunflower seed husks, etc. is illegal and does not follow leave no trace ethics.
I have said this before: This dude does the best reviews, in my opinion. To the point, and covers what I need.
Totally agree. No fluff...all data.

I am not a backpacker but I'll tell you one thing I like my Stanley French press I will take it anywhere
Uh. . . . which one is the BEST!!?!?? Well, I, Uh . . . . vote . . . for . . . ALL OF THEM!!!!! Coffeeeee forever! Thanks PaleoHikerMD!
GSI stuff is the coolest stuff in my kit, that little mug has done many miles with me

Absolutely love the coffee and coffee product reviews. You got a new sub from me, thanks for sharing.

My ultralight java drop on the way!

Very good commentary and great information . Thanks
I like how you show how to use ..thanks
Picking up that percolator. Thanks for the info
Answered my question in 35 seconds, why wouldn't the seller make it clear how it packs down? Thank goodness for the community helping each other!
Great video I'm with you on the percolated coffee the french press is second best next to it
Percolator is the best because you can easily keep a second cup warm
Real nice coffee reviews, great job, thanks for sharing
Been using the GSI mug since I watched your previous video on that product!
So I am stuck in a hotel room with hotel coffee until my mission ends for the Guard (love being a medic but you are the first one called up when shit hits the fan). Not good.

Awesome! Good luck and stay safe!
Thanks for your service to the USA!
That ultra light drip maker looks perfect. What is the material? It looks more like a cloth, which explains why you don't need a filter.

Great vids. Love my coffee too.
The Java Drip is a no go outside in the winter unless you want cold coffee🙃
Good one.
while you were using the Ultralight Java Drip there was a plastic thermo, is that collapsable?
Thanks. I got the Java Drip and the Coffee Rocket. Great products. Thank you for the vid n reviews. 🥸
Great gear
We're did you get the handle from. Didn't come out of the kit. I have one and no were to put that shaft for the press. Go drip. Lol. I watch a lot of your videos. Just busting you.
The GSI Coffee Rocket is actually 3.8 oz.
I prefer high quality instant coffee. Zero extra weight or cost. Zero garbage. Taste is quite good.
Hi Ernie, do you find the coffee rocket too slow?
How much water to how much dry coffee?

Just use a tea infuser. Perfect, light small and above all else it works !

They sell reusable teabags online. I love them. Just flip em inside out to clean and a light rinse. Done
Set of four, 2 large and 2 small, collapsable food grade silicone funnels cost under $8.00 at Amazon.
I'm as bad as you. I must have 7 coffee makers. Not sure why but like fishing poles, one is just not enough!

Have you ever tried coffee from a Moka Pot ?
In Louisiana, coffee grounds are bayou-degradable
NO CAPTIONS???
In 2021 when we know that plastic is so harmful and with hot water is even worst. Why do we feel the need to say “I got to get me some of that”
I would love to see your home....and your car...and your phone............ all plastic free :)
I use a tall tea ball you poor boiling water over it in your pot or your cup...your water will get dark before the coffee's ready... don't be fooled thinking your coffee is ready before it is...I would steep your coffee grounds for around 5 minutes...you can taste it and see if it is ready to your taste at 5 minutes or if you need to steep it a little longer...a tall tea ball is ultralight light and it will make you a tasty cup of coffee..
