I bought an expensive espresso machine a few years back after a good run at the poker tables and we have become rather spoiled. As part of my research on what to buy and the art of making coffee ( for some people this is their hobby and live and breathe it) I learned a lot. I also purchased a good portable espresso machine for when we have hookups. Dry camping is more challenging. French press is probably second best to a good espresso machine. It turned out to be far too messy in the trailer. Using a cone drip system is where we are at now. I am considering upgrading my inverter to accommodate my espresso machine but may try this first.

I am intrigued by this coffee maker as it is essentially a French press that can be easily cleaned. This has the highest rating for alternative coffee making systems at the "Coffee Geek" site and is reported to make excellent coffee.

It is not a big deal but if you want your coffee to be as good as it can get I would suggest a metal filter, as paper filters absorb some oils from the coffee that add much flavor. Amazon has the maker ($26) and a reusable metal filter ($12) with free shipping. Here are the links.
