A lightweight coffee press and insulated mug in one that's been making my camp coffee for about six years.

CAMPING GEAR

I've had this little coffee press for about six years now, and it's probably made more cups of coffee than I could ever count.

What I really like about it is that it's both a coffee press and an insulated mug in one. Make the coffee, press it, and drink straight from the same mug. That's particularly handy when camping because there's one less piece of gear to pack—and one less thing to wash.

It's lightweight, durable and makes a decent cup of coffee. I've used mine camping, but it also used to come to work with me at the bike shop. They had one of those fancy little boutique espresso machines. I preferred bringing this and making my own coffee. 😉

After six years of use, it's still going strong. Simple gear that works tends to stick around in my kit.

If I wouldn't use it myself, I won't recommend it to you.
