My wife knows to turn my espresso machine on if she gets up first.

When I was younger, I camped most nights but still never carried anything to make coffee. I'd get it in town somewhere. Nowadays, I usually stay in motels more than tents. Towns have places to buy coffee. I used to bring a stove and tea for colder and wetter climates, and it saved my butt more than once. But doing something like TA, there are not many stretches of road that I would not get a coffee sometime in the morning. I think Via is pretty decent and have used it cold. I had some when attempting a Thru (wiped out in the Smokies in snow in May, bad sprain was fun hiking out on) on the AT and it was great with sugar and Nido. Purist will die but one of my favorite breakfasts was 2 for $2 EggMcmuffins and a large coffee loaded with cream. Under 5 bucks, a ton of calories, a toilet, wifi, and a free charge of electronics.
