Cabelas has their "cool touch" line but the smallest they have is a 6 cup. For small amounts of coffee I use a a small sauce pan and make cowboy coffee.

I picked up a stainless press (Starbucks of all places ) and it is PERFECT for trips.  Inbreakable, quick, easy to clean.  If you don't have a grinder to do coarse grind for a press, just get that coffee Wally World sells, grind it there on the roughest setting (perk I think).  Works great!

Thanks for the input. I found a nice 3 cup stainless at Sportsman by GSI Outdoor.  Now I just need to downsize my stove and tent....I went on my first overnight on the KLR and my camping gear was way to big...

Thanks for the help..

I just use a $1.99 plastic cone and drip filters.  You can make up to 8 cups at a time and are only limited by how much water you can boil and how big a container you are dripping into.  I use a plastic thermal cup that holds about 20 oz., but you can easily use a Nalgene and make a whole quart.

I think I saw one of these at Dick's Sporting Goods or Cabelas over the weekend and thought it was cool.

In case you are interested, I just use the same pot I use for soup/everything and heat up water and use instant coffee.  I actually figured out a ratio and mixed coffee/coffeemate/sugar up in small container.  I just toss up the container and spoon it in my mug.

just get yourself a military canteen cup, boil the coffee a few minutes and shock the grounds with a bit of cold water, they sink, you drink

I'm a self described coffee geek, and I use a Moka Pot, or Italian Stove Top Espresso Maker, for all my coffee needs. I've had the same pot for 10+ years now and it keeps making better and better cups of coffee. These things are super simple to use, and vary in size from 4 - 12 demitasse ( a demitasse is the small cups that espresso is served in, and is equal to about one fluid ounce) sizes and make the strongest , best tasting coffee you can get. I've got the 12 ounce size, it measures about 8 inches tall, 3.5 inches in diameter, is made of aluminum and weighs less than a pound.

A man of pure wisdom !!!!!!

I like it! Simple yet effective.

Ohh by the way, who needs a stove?? You got yourself a fancy KLR that gets pretty warm am I right? Just add an extra loop to your water cooling and bingo bango bongo you got yourself a nice stove for warming up your drinks.

But thinking about it now it would be a little bit more work than any of you would want to do. I think it should be a factory option though!!

Cowboy coffee! Put about 1/4 cup coffee, two tablespoons sugar in a baggie. Put two cups water in a pot, bring to boil. Remove from heat and add coffee/sugar, let steep for five minutes. Stir and grounds will settle. I like to filter mine through an old piece of screen wire. If you are feeling frisky you can make it mocha by adding a packet of cocoa mix. Travel light, freeze at night.

hmmm, maybe cut a hole in the huge stock pipe, weld in a few loops of stainless 1/4 sched 10 pipe, run the bike, pour the water through, a big gas powered heat exchanger , hot showers, hot coffee, the possibilities are endless

I am just trying to think of things outside of the box. Designers do not do that anymore . So I think us KLR riders do all the usefull thinking and Farkling our bikes out! Although getting to complicated is a problem to I guess. So keep engineering the bikes and we will keep improving them!

Ok enough of this

And here, all along, I've just been putting the whole bean in my mouth, between the cheek and gum, just like chewin tobaca,

Jetboil coffee press. Conveniently doubles as a stove for heating my mountain house meals while on camping trips. Packing efficiency on a motorcycle is all about combing as many functions into one piece of equip. as possible.

I like these too.  The only precaution is the material it's made of. 
It will come in either Aluminum or Stnl Steel.  The SS variety are usually in the $80 range for a 4x shot...an Aluminum Moka Maker can be had for around $20.

If you go aluminum, get the best quality you can find and spend a little bit more (if you go this route) 'cause the cheaper ones will bleed into the water and you'll definately get the aluminum taste in your espresso.  The Bialetti brand is usually a safe bet.

Like Willius I enjoy it as it is, but for a lot of folks I have found that it can be a bit too strong...you know it isn't a good thing when your friends start complaining about the enamel on their teeth hurts when they drink your espresso_lol.
  In that case just add some hot water...Americano everytime!

If you are curious about it, I'd be more than happy to send you one of my units so you can see if it's for you.  I'm getting ready to travel for a while and won't be needing it for a bit.  LEt me know!

Oh...something to note:

if you are doing any loaded offroading and are trying to save weight, then this may not help you achieve your goals.  They will be the heaviest option out there.  When I'm working in the G.Canyon, I'll secretly carry my 9-shot Moka-Maker for my clients.  On day-3, I like to announce that we've run out of instant coffee and won't have anymore until resupply.  Then right before the emotions begin to sink I say, "but I did bring this!"  Works everytime.  Coffee is sooooooo amazing when you have to work for it.  Since I'm guiding and I aim to please, I'll bring all sorts of rediculous weight.  But I would never bring it on a solo trip.  If I'm gonna be carrying my bodyweight, I'm gonna get paid for it.

Moka Maker-  Best tasting Coffee/ Heaviest option/ Cleanest-grounds are totally dry after use/ May need more fuel to boil seperate water

Jet Boil press- Super economical and fuel efficient/ Messy as the grounds are saturated and slimy-requires a bit of water to clean up...and can be a little inconvinient to stuffing all of the stove parts back in a wet container.

Filter Cone- Most inexpensive route/ Have to get rid of slimy grounds/ Must use a lot of coffee to get strong taste/ Ultra light option

Cowboy Coffe- Most simple and straight forward/Really great taste/ Hope you like grounds in your teeth  
(the cool thing about cowboy coffee is you can set your container right on top of coals and let it brew a bit from the camp fire.  It could take long.)  Gunny's idea is brilliant though.

Mini Perculators- These work great and produce great coffee/ uses a lot of fuel

Instant- BLAH!    

Hope this is helpful

I know this is not what you asked for but... if you want to save weight and drink coffee... you can buy coffee singles. Tea bags with coffee in them. Heat the water and soak the coffee bags. Folgers makes them. Does anyone know of a reusable tea bag we could put good coffee in? If you don't mind tea, Good Earth http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ExecMacro/goodearthteas/home.d2w/report makes a great tea, Good Earth "Original". It is a sweet and spicy tea with a kick.

I have used the Maxwell House singles. They were decent - much better than any instant I have ever had.

[willys]

Hmmmmmm...mmmmmm...Coffee...mmmmm....now i will have to go make another mug!!!

[mdrake]

here is another option, I recently purchased one and it works well. I usually make cowboy coffee or use the coffee singles. I do not want to carry another pot so this one will replace my mug I carried anyways.

Thanks for the tip. It is on my list to purchase.

Now what vessel is used to heat the water. Currently I don't have any small / light cooking gear to take camping.
