But does it taste ok?

Everyone who has tried it on our trips, multiday backcountry rides, like it better than Via.

this is pricey:

but it looks like a good combo. grinder/pour over reusable thing and mug all in one compact package.

interesting

It's my bikepacking go-to. I measure out as many teaspoons as I will need for the trip. Space is at a premium when on a multi-day ride. I'd love to do fresh grind and aeropress, but that's just additional volume and weight.

+1 A lot of the setups that have been suggested here are great for a day ride, overnighter, or possibly a weekend but for multiday backcountry trips they definitely take up too much room. Example: A Jetboil uses the same amount of space as three days of food in a frame pack.

I've come back to using the Esbit stove and pellets for minimalist setup. I only ever have to boil water so is fine. The next step up is trangia, though the liquid fuel is heavy and a hassle.

My experience with hand grinders is that it takes a long time to grind enough beans for a good cup of coffee. Think mini hand pump and TWO flat tires.

Any fans of the Minipresso? I just got one for Xmas and seems like a good candidate for this use. Uses Nespresso capsules...

When doing multi-day bikepacks I still bring the aeropress, but not the hand-grinder. Grind at home and pack in a reusable baggy. The aeropress actually doesn't take up much room, since the inside is hollow. It nicely fits a pair of socks (inside the top-compartment recess, so not a place that ever contacts coffee) or 5 days worth of ground coffee (and then a pair of socks at day 3-4 when the grounds have dwindled). The other stuff (smal pot and a stove) are not coffee-only, so I don't think of them as wasted space. I use the same pot to boil coffee water as I do to make campsite rice (and to eat said rice).

Anybody else do cowboy coffee? It's become my go-to for backpacking. It's not always good, but it's usually strong. I'm able to get most of the grounds to settle by adding a few tablespoons of cold water once it's done brewing. Mustache/front teeth to filter out the rest :^{)

Jetboil + aeropress or kalita wave 155 (the small version). The kalita is very small and comes in a metal version. If you're brewing 2 cups at a time it'll be too small, but I suppose the aeropress has the same problem.

i think i have nailed my minimalist set-up now.

aeropress, a single mug to boil water in and drink out of, and a small alcohol stove.

the only trick is that you have to brew in the aeropress "inverted" which is no big deal.

The whole kit:



unpacked:



on the boil...



delicious finish

Just returned from backcountry camping and snapped a picture of the setup I've arrived at after many different approaches. This is for truck camping –– when I'm backpacking I simply use a collapsible pour over with pre-ground beans.

Biggest deal here is I started bringing a spare digital scale (and rechargeable batteries) I had leftover from an old desk gig. The Cook Partner stove and mini 5lb. propane tank were huge game changers for my entire kitchen setup. And after 15+ years of service, my REI aluminum camp table is probably next to be replaced. Oh yeah, also love that Esbit kettle. It's my favorite camping / backpacking kettle I've used over the years.
