    I do mostly portage camping so try to keep my weight down. I’m pretty happy with doing cowboy coffee over my stove, but I use a modified James Hoffman’s french press technique:

    • Boil water, add coffee. Add lid, wait ~5 minutes.
    • Stir and scoop out foam floating on top. Return lid, wait ~5 minutes.
    • In one single pour, pour coffee from pot into another pot, watching that the sediment remains behind.
    • Pour from second pot into cups to serve.

    I find doing this I get a really clean cup with practically no sediment, and don’t need to bring any additional equipment with me.

      This is, indeed, just for car camping. I have death wish instant and a soft pour over mesh for BWCA

        Oh the mesh sounds good!

        But yeah, car camping is fun cause of the kinda things you can bring without worrying about weight!

    Wow, I haven’t had coffee from a percolator in decades! How’s it taste? I use the aeropress for car camping and instant coffee when backpacking.
