Snow Peak Coffee Drip
Snow Peak Collapsible Coffee Drip - Compact Camping & Backpacking Gear - Stainless Steel - 4.9 oz
Has anyone used this and taken the wire legs off and on ... the legs just look problematic .. susceptible to bending while packing up my panniers .. just wondering if I would damage any of the parts rendering it unusable ? https://www.snowpeak.com/products/co...323ee31a&_ss=r

I have no direct experience, that said the second photo shows it folded flat. Could you pack it between some other flat stuff?

Thank you sir for your response .. I will take a closer look at yours .. first con for me is I use a titanium single wall cup .. so I opted for a quilted cup coozie to help keep in the warmth in .. the "open" cup will loose a lot of heat quickly as it is slowly filling my cup ... hmmm ... I do have a silicone collapsable camping cup that also has a drinkable lid .. maybe I'd better give this a bit more thought and a little trial test here at home ... thanks a lot .. Glenn

I bought one of these, but I have not had an opportunity to use it yet. Thus, I can't comment on how well it works. The trip I bought it for, instead brought instant.

If you don’t mind the weight and bulk, try to find a plastic Bodum Travel Press. The larger size. (~15 Oz.) They have been discontinued. You can find a few on Amazon, but many are overpriced. Just got a new one for around $18. (Dropped my last one on the hard kitchen floor.) Keeps coffee hot to warm even in cold weather. It’s a French press coffee maker that you drink directly from. The aluminum version is easier to find.

I cannot speak to that product specifically as I do not drink coffee but I can say without a doubt Snow Peak makes some of the finest camping equipment out there. It is top notch some of it is super lightweight and some of it is heavy as hell but freakin' neat especially all of their cooking and eating and drinking stuff.
I personally have had between 5-10 of their ti sporks (I would have had fewer if some of them hadn't gotten lost or stolen but durability is never a concern) I have their folding cutting board and knife set, a few mugs, a pair of their screw together chopsticks which always get positive responses (technically two but one was stolen). I just bought a GigaPower stove and a really sexy ti sake cup as well as some other goods. I probably have some other SP stuff I cannot think of at the moment, I really do love it. I happily invest heavily in their stuff as it is good long lasting stuff that looks good time after time and can handle whatever you want to throw at it. Plus I had a manager at my old job who had the entire Snow Peak kitchen set it was massive and was just a super sick set up. I aspire to that one day but am not a heavy camper like that.
Ron at King Cage is currently fabricating a bunch of cages for my Snow Peak Medium Titanium Flask, he liked what he built for me so much he said let me build more and I said go for it as I like King Cage and Ron and the whole crew is super nice and honestly as much as I am spending here I am not a huge drinker but wanted a cool way to carry a little tipple. Here is the video, I cannot wait to actually get mine and my flask back but not pressuring him he has to finish some delicious locally made rum as well:
Hit King Cage up if you are interested hopefully this product is a hit, he was super excited and I am super excited and once I saw the video I was jumping around like a lunatic it beat all expectations.

To me that 40 USD Snow Peak Collapsible looks like a failure from the get go start... I would go with a small light weight coffee press like the
Note: All hail the US Army Guard Duty Coffee: C-Rat or MRE packet of instant coffee in the front lip, Packet of Creamer in the right cheek, Packet of Sugar in the left cheek. Then ya just kinda mix um up as they leak and dissolve. COFFEE GOOD! Falling asleep on guard duty is not recommended... Ha

I’m now wondering how much it weighs compared to the plastic version, which is double walled.

I've tried a french press and also various instant coffees. The press was okat and most of the instants were terrible, but a few are passible IMO. I generally am a starbucks hater, but their Via is pretty good. Alpine Start isn't bad either.
I have generally taken Via when backpacking. When touring I have usually just stopped at a diner for second breakfast coffee or done without when that didn't work out. I NEVER miss my coffee when at home, but on tour if I miss a day here and there it isn't a big deal.
BTW, I find powdered creamer to be pretty universally terrible. The best I have found is Nido (powdered whole milk). It is also nice to have along for cereal, cooking, or just drinking. It tastes pretty good especially if cold and allowed to sit a bit after mixing. A cold mountain stream facilitates that.

My 8 ounce plastic Bodum coffee press started making grainy coffee so I replaced the "press" section with a single cup Melita drip cone, complete with paper filters. Not foldable, but hey! I'm the guy who carried a floor pump across the USA on a BOB trailer!

We typically drink instant coffee on tour. If I were inclined to brew actual coffee on tour I'd use an aeropress. Easiest way to get great coffee every time and packs compact mostly inside a cup.

On a bike tour, I usually just bring instant. Usually mix some instant espresso with some plain instant coffee that might have been on sale in the store, mix is usually 50/50 espresso to instant coffee.
The French press in post 5 above is a vintage GSI one that I have had for at least a decade and a half. I bring that on canoe trips where pack volume and weight is less of an issue.
My Snow Peak double wall mug is labeled as 450ml. Usually have two cups in the morning.

GSI makes a little, plastic mesh, filter holder about the size of the Melita single cup item above. It weighs about 20 grams.
That said, on tours, I drink tea. Hot water, poured through a strainer with some loose tea in it makes a cup. Cleanup is just pitch the used tea into the fire pit. It is fast, simple, and easy.

No, I meant .27 lbs is the difference between the two, in answer to your question. Sorry to be unclear. THe stainless steel one weighs in at .9 lbs according to Amazon, and the plastic one I saw is .63 lbs. I don't thinkt he few ounces would bother me. It hasn't so far. I never even considered the plastic one.

The few extra ounces wouldn’t bother me, especially in return for greater durability. I don’t think they made the SS version when I got my first plastic one, and I just stuck with plastic assuming it was much liter.

I just bought this one: Primula brew buddy. It works pretty decent but it takes a long time to slowly pour the water through the coffee. Clean up is pretty easy and no paper filters necessary.
