My husband is a crazy coffee drinker and we recently went on a camping trip. Read some articles on cowboy coffee and thought “god no! No way he’s gonna drink that!!” Then I bought one of those super small keurig type coffee machines but then realized no portable battery small enough for camping would support it….ugh. Then I came across these!Thank goodness for this one review that said to use the #4 Melitta coffee filters for a good strong coffee flavor. And honey, let me tell you! Delicious. The filters fit perfectly and make sure to pour slow and cover all those grinds so all that good flavor can get to where it needs to go. Also, I used keurig cups. Just popped one open, emptied into the filter and Java drip. I find that the keurig cups coffee grinds are EXTRA fine and the coffee flavor is sooo much better than using traditional grinds. Plus they’re small and compact, comes in different flavors (we love pike place by Starbucks)…....perfect for camping. Everyone at our camp was so impressed I was making coffee for everyone!

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2021

PROS; With care brews an acceptable cup of coffee. Very excited to get this brew socks. Almost forgot Super easy to clean. Turn upside down dump grounds on dirt or in compost pile. Then with two cups of clear water I was able to get all the grounds off easily. Compact design key. I've heard much about them. Legs although they look like they'd break easily felt flexible where they fit the cup and sturdy where they are holding your coffee plus water. I have only used once, but have found these to be self evident.

CONS: Directions are awful and there should be a waterproof carry pouch included. (Minus one star) Wouldn't cost more than $0.05 to make and could even be ultralight. There is a mention of putting this under your fuel canister, so they are assuming we all use isobutane fuel. As we all are sensitive to material there should be better explanation into all materials used in production. In the meantime yes a fold lock top sandwich bag works fine.

Better Directions for this dripper: Best to wet your filter before adding coffee this will encourage the coffee to stay put. Measure slightly more than you usually use to get what you would call an acceptable cup of coffee. With coffee pour best to start with about 15ml slowly first and let your coffee expand so less fines end up in your cup. I use close to Turkish grind and there was next to no fines in my cup due to proper pour. After coffee has expanded You can add water 15 to 30ml at a time. If you get within 5mm of your upper coffee grind line then your water will sneak through giving you a weak cup of coffee. Concentrate your pour to the inner 2/3's of your coffee grounds. You'll see what I'm talking about and feel free to challenge as you will see the clear water drip into your cup should you get too close to the top of your coffee grind. Well I hope that helps.

This really is a good filter and I would buy it again. I think it is worth $8 as there should have been a case included, and was halfway expecting one. Yes I'd buy it again and Yes I'd recommend it to a friend.

I've used a ton of systems for coffee when camping and this is by far my favorite. Much (much!) better flavor than instant, way less weight/bulk than an Aeropress and nice to not have to sift the grounds out of cowboy coffee. It packs super small and weighs almost nothing, so it's a very easy 'luxury item' to bring along. It's now a staple on all of my backpacking trips!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome cup of coffee
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024

I used two spoonfuls of grounds for one cup and it made an incredibly delicious cup of coffee. I'm excited to bring this on the trail. Pour over aficionados might want to add an extra filter to slow down the drip process. That being said, I did not use one and the coffee was AMAZING. Adding a filter might make it even better (and an easier cleanup). In comparison to the coffee rocket, it is much better IMO. The Rocket has too much contact with plastic whereas the Java Drip is just a mesh filter, so virtually no contact with plastic other than the mesh. Also the Coffee Rocket limits the amount of coffee you can use per cup. The rockets also bulkier and heavier. IMO, the Java Drip is a win win win. Cleaning isn't too bad. Just flip the mesh and pour some water on it. I'll probably hold this in an outer pocket while backpacking so it can dry out after using.

I love good coffee. Let's be honest: that can be a tough order anywhere, especially in the back county or campground. Over the years I have tried every way and every thing: cowboy coffee; coffee presses; coffee bags, instants, and drip. I like the traditional drip coffee method the best, however it's a bit of a mess to clean up while camping; using allot of water in the process. Also, the paper filters work well at home but create waste in the back county.
That's where the GSI Ultralight Java Drip enters the picture. It is simplicity at it's finest. It's light (.5 oz.) in weight and easy to pack. It does not require paper filters because it has a fine mesh bag that filters out most of the coffee. It cleans easily with little water and wash rag. It seems well made and durable. One of the really nice things about it is that the three legs can be folded flat with the bag, and it can be stored under a butane fuel canister.
On top of all that, I can make a great, strong, cup of coffee with it anywhere I can boil water. It's so simple. I don't have to hold it, press it, or watch it. It fits securely on any cup or even an insulated bottle. All I have to do is add premium coffee and pour. Clean up is relatively easy. All it takes is a small amount of water and a wash rag.
I would recommend it to anyone wishing to have an easy way to make a great cup of their favorite coffee, almost anywhere.

This little thing is great. I purchased on in 2022 for a back country elk hunt. This thing is the best thing since sliced bread. I had buddies that had instant coffee and I had this little gem with a small cone filter and 2 scoops of nice dark coffee grounds and then slowly pour some just boiling water over it from the jet boil. Wow!!!!! nice cup of real coffee in the back country. My boys were jealous. In 2023 they had them.

Viel Positives wurde schon gesagt. Ich möchte keine extra Tasse nur für den unverzichtbaren Kaffee mitnehmen, wenn ich sehr leicht unterwegs bin, deshalb habe ich das Teil umgebaut.

Die Aufsteller habe ich gekürzt, abgerundet, mit Hilfe einer kleinen Gasflamme gezielt erhitzt und zu Clips umgebogen, behält nach Abkühlen die Form. Nach Mod. 5,6g.

Nun passt der Filter perfekt in meinen 700ml Toaks Topf. Außer dem Filter nehme ich nun auf Touren abgewogene Portionen Kaffee meiner Wahl mit. Den bin ich gerne bereit zu tragen;-)

Vorgehen:
400-500ml Wasser im Topf kochen, von der Flamme nehmen, Filternetz mit 20-25g mittelfeinem Kaffee befüllt in den Topf versenken und einhaken, dann (im Filter) gut umrühren, nach 2min Filter herausnehmen, abtropfen lassen, Kaffee aus dem Topf genießen.

Mahlgrad, Menge und Immersionszeit muss natürlich Jede(r) selbst für sich optimieren.

Es entsteht ein sehr vollmundiger Kaffee mit einer kleinen Menge feinster Partikel, ich finde das Ergebnis sehr lecker und jeder Instantlösung weit überlegen.
