My wife is a coffee fiend, so any trip planned with her must involve coffee. Car camping we just bring the percolator I inherited from my parents and that works great. When canoe tripping she went along with Taster's Choice instant.

We are doing the FANY Ride this summer, and we will be on our own for breakfast each morning, so she is insisting that we have a way of making coffee. I don't want to lug a stove capable of simmering and a percolator, so I've been experimenting at home. Cowboy coffee followed by filtering seems to be the best bet.

Haven't tried Via, but will now!
