Something for the coffee snobs.
Mike started his email by saying that he wanted something light to hold a coffee filter while he waxed his beard and platted his man-bun. Then he followed up by adding 'and it needs to fit inside my mug'.
It sounded dead easy, so I said 'yeah'. Turns out, it's actually slightly more tricky than I imagined. Anyway, I've arrived at the working prototype stage. It's light (9g) and completely flexible so hard to break even for Mike. I'll keep you posted on progress. Sorry for the poor pictures.

Needs a lot more finishing before I think about that Shaf.

Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
Does the araldite go in the top, or wait until you're brewed up and add with the sugar?

Perfect ingredient for a sticky toffee latte.
Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
looking great so far pal
Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
But you need to pack filters though right?
I have the gsi ultralight java drip, cracking bit of kit, you just add ground coffee to it, only problem is I have to pack it separately. If you could mirror that but make it smaller and more packable then sign me up!

Speaking as a coffe snob I'd just like to object to being called a coffee snob.

Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
Not sure what the "legs" are made out of, but could you give the bottom ends three "feet" and have one on one side of the lip and two on the other, to negate the need for the wristband (I presume that's what's hold it on at the moment)?

Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
I have one. I mentioned it further up the thread, it's ace
Very easy to clean. Though on a trip I fling the grounds away and pop it in a ziolock bag for the next use

Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
As much as I like good coffee I usually take 3-in-1's, unless I'm in the kayak, canoe or hauling a pulk in the snow then it's too much faff and bulk for me with milk powder and sugar, the little sachets get me through for a bit of warm and wet.
Cowboy coffee is the way to go but I like to keep my pot clean, these MSR Mugmate knockoffs are quite good just to drop in your cup, they were only a couple of quid when I bought mine several years ago but it's lasted well ...

Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
Good challenge. As they are used as compost and for gardening I haven't seen it as a problem, and apparently after use they are pH neutral. Is it worse than going to the toilet?

Toiletting is (almost) unavoidable. Leaving anything else isn't. I operate on the "what if everyone did it" principle.
Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
Yep reusable filter, just turn inside out and give it a quick squirt with your water bottle - then all ready to go again.redefined_cycles wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 4:14 pmMart... do you have this one.. is that reusable filyer cloth thing easy enough to clean post brewing?

Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
Got one of these that fits inside a mug. A bit more bulky at 77g. If someone could recommend an ultralight grinder then that would be something I'd be interested in.

Re: Something for the coffee snobs.
I'm an avid practitioner of LNT, and can't think of anything else I leave behind, apart from the occasional "bodily product," but I scatter my coffee grounds too.benp1 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 4:56 pmGood challenge.

In this case, I genuinely think if everyone did it, in areas whether there's already soil, you wouldn't notice. To all intents and purposes used coffee grounds are soil, albeit without any bacteria (yet) since they've just been sterilised.ScotRoutes wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 5:36 pm Toiletting is (almost) unavoidable.

I reckon you could take all the used grounds from everyone who's made a coffee in the outdoors in the UK this year and scatter them in my small (let's say 25sqm) back garden and I wouldn't notice, and there would be no detrimental effect.

For coffee snobs with deep pockets!

I've got a BNest, which is a bit of a lump, but actually makes a really good brew (thanks for the recommendation Ernie), but this thing looks like a more refined (but expensive) version!
