I have a drip coffee maker, two French presses (one's an individual one), and one of those aluminum ones that perks coffee on the stove or over a fire. I have taken a French press camping. Once, when I woke up to discover that there was a water main break in front of my house and no water in my house, I melted the ice in the freezer for water for coffee. It was either that or walk a half mile to the minimart on the corner, since there were large yellow water-main-fixing machines in front of my driveway.
I like Starbucks expresso and related drinks. The drip coffee isn't much, though. Starbucks makes me happy, though, because the fact that there's a Starbucks on every corner means that I can almost always get coffee. There was a benighted era when this wasn't true.
Thanks, Robin! (Did you understand it? Did anyone understand it? This is a key issue here. My editor tried to cut down my use of big words as much as possible.)
I have taken a French press camping.
I bought my present French press expressly to take camping. It's stainless steel. I had one made of Lexan that was designed for camping, but I used it as my home coffee maker for a year and it broke.
We had to finally get rid of the magical coffee maker with a timer that would actually grind the beans for me in the morning. It was lovely, but it was better at making larger amounts of coffe than smaller, and if I make a whole pot of coffee, I'm drinking it 'til it's gone. Stashed it in a fairly inaccessible cabinet for a long while, and pulled it out when we had houseguests. Imagine our horror when it completely failed to work even a little bit. I think I broke its poor little mechanical heart, putting it in that cupboard.
P-C, I think you know my stance vis-avis tags and the announcing thereof. Nice article, I feel more informed for having read it. (eta: I understood it as i was reading it, but I wouldn't pass a pop quiz)
I think lori has (or showed me) a french press travel mug. Pretty sweet.
Or I could be hallucinating the whole thing.

Real shame "Cranky" has six letters.

Like so? [link]
That [link] thing has made me so lazy about prettifying my links.
Very much like so. Pretty cool, provided you can clear the grounds in a timely fashion.
My bro has french press travel mugs for camping. He loves them.

I understood it, but I am perhaps not the best person to ask. Though, I admit, I had no idea what COX-2 inhibitors did that made the heart do the bad funky. So I learned something. Knowledge!

Thank you!

Yay!
I like the phrase "made the heart do the bad funky." I want to retroactively work it into my article so my editor can slash it out.
