If you look in the foreground of the photo that Jim linked, my re-usable filter is sitting in a pot, next to a water bottle. It's from REI, and is a mesh material with 3 legs that fold flat for storage. Only used a couple of times but makes a decent cup of coffee. The entire thing is made out of plasticky bits but seems rugged enough. Won't last as long as the Helix but no separate filter required.
The key to good coffee is starting with good beans. Esteban ground his beans right there while I brought grind from home. But nothing beats Manny's aeropress coffee he was serving at the Entmoot. Beans ground on site, then immediately into the press. Great stuff! dougP On Sunday, November 23, 2014 9:38:05 AM UTC-8, Roger wrote: > > As a continuation of this last winter/spring's thread "Yet more travel > *coffee* questions! > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#%21searchin/rbw-owners-bunch/coffee/rbw-owners-bunch/lGetc-8p6XI/ab4n60B2PwAJ>", > > it seems the Helix Coffee Dripper > <http://store.oceanaircycles.com/products/helix-coffee-dripper> sold by > Ocean Air and others is coming onto the scene.
