I bought a reusable cotton fabric cone filter at the co op ,
rather than single use paper ones, (or just use paper towel)
then bought small Vacuum packed sample sizes of ground coffee as I went.

The Ortlieb filter holder works but it is a bit of a pain to use...have to hold it up to fill the cup. I found
this at REI last year. It's a bit heavier but it works better. I use paper filters. It's not too much more weight to carry because I only make coffee once a day. I also buy coffee from my favorite local shop and have it ground for a Melita filter. The time it takes to brew and filter with a paper filter isn't much of an issue with me. Since I live at over 5000', coffee anywhere else is just way too hot. I have to let the stuff cool for an inordinate amount of time so that I can drink it any way.
For my kettle, I use a
Primus Litech kettle. It's a 0.9L (more than enough for a cup of coffee) that has a very low form (2" tall) and is light enough at 5.3 oz to be practical. An MSR Alpine (which I've also owned) has only slightly more volume (0.3L) but is 3.5" tall and takes up more space.

You can also stuff other things into the kettles...some coffee and sugar and filters to save space.
