I haven't read all the comments so far but thought I'd weigh in. I've used Folger's individual bags. Bike camping, canoe camping, backpacking and car camping. They are tea bag like, filled with actual ground coffee. Brew in your cup. I like my coffee and the caffeine hit in the AM. Instant doesn't satisfy me. I've had good luck with the Folger's bags. One caveat - use two bags if you're brewing in a travel mug sized cup; the bag are adequate for 5 or 6 oz standard cups of coffee. I have tried store brand coffee bags - didn't measure up. They actually appeared to be filled with instant coffee and had that "off" flavor characteristic of run-of-the-mill instants.
