+100 for the aerobie!!! It doesn't make pretty good coffee, it makes awesome/super smooth coffee, fast. Yes, what you press out of it is a concentrated espresso, but then you add enough hot water to fill your mug and you have great coffee. (or you heat up milk to add for a latte)
On our last long trip we brought a backpacking french press made of plastic so it wouldn't break like the glass versions would. But the strainer part on top eventually started leaking. I bought an aerobie from amazon and have found it to be a great bike touring coffee maker. Faster and better tasting than a drip device, lightweight, packs smaller than a french press (and cleaning is waay easier than a french press).
