Simplest, cheapest, and almost the lightest way to make a good coffee outdoors.
Pros
- Makes a good coffee
- Cheap
- Lightweight (13 g)
- Compact
- Simple
- Robust
Cons
- You still have to dispose of the leftover coffee grounds in the pot.

(Notice the fine mesh. Don't get a coarser tea strainer, unless you like gritty coffee.)
This has to be the ultimate way to make a reasonable coffee outdoors. In fact, it is not really a gear review but a way of making coffee. Here is the process:
- Fill your coffee cup with water almost to the top and pour into a pot.
- Boil the water.
- Add coffee grounds to the water, cover, and stand without heating for 2 minutes.
- Put the generic coffee strainer over your cup and pour the coffee through it.
This is essentially the same process as a French press and produces the same flavour of coffee.

Experience
Lots of experience trying to make a good coffee outdoors. I have had this strainer for at least 15 years.

Simple is good. Cheap is good-er;-)
