Canoe trips I use a lexan french press made my GSI, the model has been out of production for a long time. In a french press my favorite is Folgers Gourmet Supreme.
But bike trips I usually find that I am not sharing coffee with anyone, my regular tour partner stopped drinking caffeinated beverages for a medical reason. Thus, I have gotten lazy and usually bring instant since I am the only one drinking it. I have a plastic jar for the instant that nests perfectly inside my coffee mug.
IMO Starbucks Via instant coffee is about the best I've tried.
