| This is my stove. It is tiny. |
 |
| No forced perspective, I promise. |
 |
| Expanded and assembled, atop a fuel canister. This is the larger size fuel; I'll use the smaller size on the trail. |
 |
| Foom! |
 |
| Pssshhhhhh... |
 |
| The pot stores the whole assembly, stove, (small) fuel and all. The handle folds over and clips everything shut together. |
 |
| Mug/bowl and Coffee Solution. I got the 2-person mess kit, because it had an extra mug/bowl. |
 |
| Fits nicely. |
 |
| I didn't time it, but boiling didn't take long. You can see the lid at the upper right. |
 |
| Slowly, slowly... |
 |
| Finished product. The plastic mug makes it look sort of blah, |
 |
| but I can assure you, it is a notably fresh, full-bodied cup. |
Try one of those Starbucks Via instant coffees. It's a bit pricey (cheaper in bulk), but I find it to be just as good or better that what I have brewed in the woods and it's super light weight with no clean up whatsoever (I always find cleaning up the grinds and disposing of them to be a huge hassle).
