Sometimes you just have the need for drip coffee using fresh grounds in the backcountry. This setup makes it easy to carry with you. The arms fold in, making it stash flat. I would say this is more of a luxury item, but its cheap and has its use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does what you need. I still prefer my Aeropress if I have the space and it's withing my weight limit. But if you need coffee when backpacking and can't spare the weight, this is about as good as you're going to get. I like that it completely collapses as opposed to some of the rigid cones out there.

Extremely light weight, but the legs do feel a little flimsy. We'll see how long it lasts

I got this 1 year ago for Christmas. I did not start using it until about 3 month ago. Boy I stopped make a 10 pour over pot and now just make 1 cup at a time . It is awesome.

Skip the rest of the coffee making junk gear that GSI and the rest of the gear makers are trying to convince you to buy as the "latest thing" = none of them work as well as this one, are as light, or are cheaper than this one.
Picked this up in Oregon several summers again and it ended up being my go to for all my trips, camping, surfing expeditions and hotel stays when I want to make my own pour overs. So stoked that I just ordered a back up just in case.

Besides simply taking instant coffee, this is the lightest way to brew a cup of joe in the backcountry. Weighing a mere .4oz, the mesh filter is fine and easy to clean, and the plastic arms attach to cups and pots easily. One suggestion I have is to use a very fine grind, and even consider using a filter as well; the grounds need ample time to percolate and using a filter helps slow the brew, otherwise it kind of just pours through. I love having this addition, if you bring fresh ground beans and use this it makes a great cup. Recommended.

This is the lightest coffee maker I've seen and it does a better job of keeping sediment and grounds out of your coffee than the others I've used without requiring a separate filter. Just pour slowly and it's great.

Is there a word for something that's bad at its intended function but great at an off-label use? I originally bought this for the field but the flow rate on the filter is much too fast for making any decent kind of pour-over or drip coffee. That said, it does shine as an excellent filter or strainer for small amounts of liquid. I've used it for straining wild tea or other boiled items multiple times. The plastic clips fit everything from my cookpots to my Yeti tumbler. Weights practically nothing. It won't make it to my must-take list but it's good to have around for certain situations.
