We have various non electric coffee making contraptions but presse is our favourite. Thinking of getting one of these for the hill. 165g.
Cheaper versions on Ali but ones I've seen are heavier.

Personally, after espresso my preferred coffee brewing method is the French press, but I've been put off using this method when camping by the difficulty in following leave no trace practices (removing the grounds and carrying them out), which is easier with a filter, where everything is contained and easy to pop in a waste bag.We have various non electric coffee making contraptions but presse is our favourite.

I've also used an Aeropress, which is not excessively heavy and waste management easy because in pushes out a tight puck.

Had some fun making coffee paste last night. I boiled a cup of water and lots of coffee ground in a pan, filtered it, added jam sugar and reduced it a bit. It turned into a nice jelly in the fridge overnight. I tested it today and it tastes actually very good. However, making bigger quantities would be too much work. And it would need to be more concentrated, otherwise it would be like carrying jam to make juice.
It works but I'll stick to my drip filter for now.

Good point! I'll give that some thought. I've various light filters i've acquired over the years but never deployed.
One option may to be rinse the grounds out of the press onto a used wet wipe to catch them.

I have the Snow Peak french press and while it makes good coffee, I've also found cleaning it quite faffy. You can wipe out most of the grounds, and rinse the rest but that makes it difficult to do by LNT standards and requires additional water. After a few uses, the mesh on the plunger needs to be taken apart and washed properly. And it needs to dry between uses or be rinsed or thawed before use.
Again, with my home taste testing (inc. friends/relatives) - Morrisons molten lava (ground/not bags) - is by far the most popular. It's cheap but delicious & if you don't have a Mossisons near by, can also be ordered from amazon

Anything hot and wet tastes great in the outdoors. I’ve taken a liking to instant cardamom tea but there’s always an OXO cube backup for emergencies. I know I’m a heathen.

I am another ex Snow Peak french press user - for exactly the same reasons.
Soto Helix dripper now (assembling a Tetra-Drip became too much effort...)

Fellow heathen here. I boil a cup of water in dirty pan, wipe my mac & cheese off pan with used t-bag & then drink the cheesy bits tea brew. Waste not want not.
