          Comments about GSI Collapsible JavaDrip Slim Drip Coffee Maker:

          As the 5 star definition says - Perfect. It doesn't get any better.

          I've been using a percolator for my most recent car camping adventures with marginal success. Decent coffee, too many parts to wash up (7 if you count the cup) and the loose grounds are a pain. All resolved with GSI.

          First of all it makes good coffee. Coffee shouldn't be boiled or ran thru the grounds more than once (or so my coffee snob friends tell me). Percolators do both, the GSI does neither. Pack good coffee, drink good coffee.

          Easy to clean - the grounds are contained in the filter - just grab it and toss. A quick rinse and it's ready to go. Since it's silicone, it doesn't get hot even after running boiling water through it.

          It's not limited to size of portion. One cup or 6 is no problem. The #4 sized filters are the standard size for 12 cup coffee makers at home.

          Finally the collapsible deisgn is a huge space saver and you don't have to pack it carefully to keep it from being crushed or deformed.

          Like Bigger Al said above - This is the bomb!

          Comments about GSI Collapsible JavaDrip Slim Drip Coffee Maker:

          I like this coffee cone - packs nice and flat so not nearly as bulky as regular coffee-making cones. Note that the diameter of the flattened cone is pretty large though, so you'll still need to find space for it.

          When I first got this cone I noticed the strong yucky chemically/plastic smell and figured, well, this won't work... I washed it thoroughly, but it still had the smell. So then I tested it by making a real cup of coffee and compared it against my regular coffee cone - the coffee tasted pretty much the same, so the chemically smell didn't affect the taste of the coffee. It smells a little less now and the smell is mixed with a coffee smell, but I don;t mind it so much anymore.

          Nevertheless, this cone makes good-tasting coffee. Another advantage is the bult-in saucer for your drippy cone after you've finished making your coffee.

          Probably too large and heavy for backpackers, but you could leave out the saucer and it would be a little lighter, though it would still take up as much space.

          I suspect the silicone will absorb odors, so this will probably end up just smelling like ocffee rather than like petrochecmicals...

            this started with me from going from summer hiking to winter hiking and needing a little more room in my pack for stuff, first thing we learned is, it is colder in the winter and you might want to get some good cups to keep your coffee or hot drinks hot while you are heating up some lunch.so with this product you might want to do what we did we got some rei winter cups and they work great too.

                This thing is great. The directions say to use a #4 coffee filter but I found a regular size 10-12 cup filter fits. You do need to watch small children because of the hot water that is in it. No more instant or "tea bag" coffee.

                    Comments about GSI Collapsible JavaDrip Slim Drip Coffee Maker:

                    I've used the molded plastic coffee makers in the past and found them to be too bulky, and have often worried about them getting bent and malformed in my pack. And I don't want to be without my coffee in the morning. The GSI unit quells my concerns.

                    It's so simple, you wonder why it isn't more popular. The rubber does have a bit of a smell to it, but it doesn't impart itself on your coffee. It's not very heavy, and doesn't take up much space as a disc in your bag.

                    Some may prefer to use units with a built in filter, but I usually make individual servings at home, wrap the filter around the coffee, and put a ribbon of masking tape on it to keep it all together. This works out pretty well.

                    On the trail, this thing just gets a little splash of water to rinse it out, then it's dried and put away.

                    It's the only trail coffee filter I'll ever need.

                      Clever solution for car-camping if you really need to minimize space. Otherwise, the classic Mellita plastic cone is more stable and less than half the price. The silicone makes it too heavy for backpacking.

                      Sits flat which is convenient for using with different sizes of thermoses, mugs, etc.

                        On my last backpacking trip, my buddy took a drip-style coffee maker. It was one of those simple plastic deals. After trying the coffee he made with this device, I decided I would buy one. No more cowboy coffee, instant, or tea. I bumped into this coffee maker and loved the design. A lot more compact than my buddies, but still very simple and straightforward. Sure, its a few more ounces to carry...but its totally worth it. Highly recommend this little jewel.

                        Super idiot proof coffee. Only downside is that it uses filters...but that also means no mud at the bottom of your cup.It's much easier to use than a percolater, tastes better than even the [...] dehydrated crud.
