From Backcountry.com:
"If you don't trust the coffeemaker at work, or your friends make a super rotten joe, pick up GSI Outdoors Coffee Press. It brews coffee and tea in three easy steps. It's made from Lexan so it's virtually indestructible and won't affect the flavor of your drink. It has a detachable handle for compact packing, making it ideal for travel, camping, or just stashing in your filing cabinet at work."

From EMS:
"This 33-ounce French press is the perfect way to steep flavorful coffee while at camp or at home. Virtually unbreakable Lexan body, great for camp, travel, or home. Lightweight, stainless-steel filter is also excellent for preparing tea. Features insulated dispenser cup, detachable handle, and smoothly operating plunger."

From Campmor:
"This indestructible French Press is the perfect way to brew great coffee without that burnt taste. An unbreakable polycarbonate composition makes this item perfect for camp, cabin or boat. Simple to use - just add nearly boiling water to medium ground coffee. Allow it 4 minutes to brew, then press down plunger and you're ready to serve. Dishwasher safe. O-ring on the plunger prevents scratching."

From REI:
"Easy to use: just add nearly boiling water to medium-ground coffee, let steep 4 minutes, press down plunger and serve--voila! For maximum longevity, hand wash in warm water with a mild dishwashing detergent. French-press brews 33 fluid ounces of great coffee--and comes with an insulating neoprene jacket to keep coffee hot. Ideal for camping, kayaking, the cabin and RV use. Lightweight yet unbreakable Lexan polycarbonate body; neoprene sleeve with VELCRO brand closure; for easy on/off (an REI exclusive). Plunger has a unique O-ring to prevent scratching sides of press."

"The coffee was sooo good! The cozy looked so smart. It was my best coffee maker in 45 years of camping. A joy.

The Lexan coffee press has been sitting in my sink for the longest time now. Its filter stuck at the bottom and me unable to pull it out. I used boiling water, the freezer, tonight I tried dish soap. What's next, oil??? :(

Can anyone help me?"

"I love my coffee and I wanted to take it camping so I got one of these, I have been using this since fall 08 on many many outings from overnight to a week. And I have had only one issue with it, the screen on the spout is very small and greatly restricts the flow."

"The Lexan on this type of press is strong but the stem of the plunger breaks off where joins the plastic filter disc.

Comparison:
The mini espresso kettles that sit on top of a burner just take too long to make enough coffee for even one person, break easily and are nerve-wracking while you circle around waiting for your fix, staring at it balanced on the stove, then sip the shot and start again with shaking hands, burning fingers and pupils the size of dinner-plates."
