    Strains too slowly

        Comments about GSI Ultralight Java Drip Coffee Maker:

        The lightweight compactness of this item unfortunately doesn't outweigh it's usefulness. The filter strains so slowly that by the time you get a cupful, the coffee is cold. And this was with having a pot of boiling water on standby and pouring as I went. This item is regrettably going back to REI.

          Used this backpacking with friends in Glacier and it worked great. He DID, however, use a paper filter in it just like you would at home. Plus the coffee grounds are contained and easily packed out in a ziplok bag.

          Comments about GSI Ultralight Java Drip Coffee Maker:

          I bought this product thinking it would be a good alternative to carrying a press pot. The nylon material is great for being light weight and compact, but taste is the sacrifice. Water is able to run right through the nylon instead of steeping in the coffee, which provides for a weak cup. A press pot or mini espresso maker are the best bet.

          Comments about GSI Ultralight Java Drip Coffee Maker:

          I was thrilled to find this product, after having hauled a bulky Euro-style mini stovetop espresso maker around the country on a motorcycle. Its compactness is its greatest asset. On the downside, it takes a lot more coffee than usual to make a decent cup. And because it takes so long to filter after you've poured your boiling water into the filter, by the time you drink it, the coffee is cold.
