Pocket Coffee

Have always just stirred coffee into a pot of boiling water, let it steep a few minutes, then thump the pot on the ground, give it a minute to settle, and its coffee. Simple as can be.
I'm a little more sophisticated, I have one of those "mug/pot" combo things that holds a regular cup (handle-less), an old MSR "mug mate" about a quarter lb of fresh ground, some creamer and sugar packets, and my White Box alcohol stove and fuel. In five minutes I can brew up a fresh cup of coffee any strength, anywhere, anytime...
although for big groups I still use your methods to make a gallon or more of coffee...
 
I typically detest instant coffee but, at 50 cents a cup, I may give the Mount Hagan's a try (strictly as backup, I'm still taking my percolator). I'm also surprised that Amazon's margin is so low. You can buy it direct and save (literally) a dollar but you'd have to buy $50 of it to get the free shipping.

(As memaquay recently stated in another thread, this site really excels at separating us from any spare cash that we might have)
Got the MH stuff in yesterday and made a cup this morning: not bad. Not bad at all.
 
When this thread started I figured I would get a few recommendations on what to try to liven up my morning coffee. Now there are so many recommendations that I guess I’ll just stick to what I have long been doing. It may be dull but it’s easy and quick.
