    I've never tried that one so hope this isn't unwelcome. This is what I use and I can't fault it.

    Cheap and sturdy and makes enough to go around. Anything similar (avoid the aluminium versions) would be great, and yours seems like it would do the trick.

    The plunger was my default until one very cold morning on the Nullarbor when a gust blew it off the table and the glass shattered. Just as the water was boiling and prior to my first coffee. Never again, I swore.

    To say I swore would be quite an understatement, but yes, you've obviously got the idea.

    I use an AeroPress with Able Fine stainless steel filter & Kyocera ceramic hand coffee grinder, the narrow model. The Porlex hand grinder would be the next one I would buy because it is a bit narrower still & will have less static being metal. If the grinder is too wide it is hard to hold.

    Use top quality beans $17 per 250 grams & do NOT use boiling water. This setup beats a bought coffee every time on taste & price.

    Those first two are NOT espresso makers. They are more like percolators. That is to say the coffee is extracted through boiling forcing water through the grounds rather than high pressure like a proper espresso machine.

    I use a Mypressi-twist. This device uses a standard CO2 or NO2 gas cartridge to force hot water through the group head at around the same pressure as a normal machine. The coffee is, believe it or not, indistinguishable from that extracted using a bench top machine.

    Not strictly correct. The Ikea one is a percolator, The above (Primus) is akin to the traditional Moka potwhich the Italians use, using pressure (steam) to make a very clean coffee.These are great for camp coffee and the grounds stay in the little cylindricalpot (like an espresso machine) and you use less coffee grounds to make yourcoffee.

    If you like your coffee with substance, the French Press (orplunger) are probably the best. If you want it clean, moka pot.

    Both very simple devices that suit overland travel. Few partsand no plastics to break. Get a metal press if you can (Snow Peak make a nicetitanium one)

    I also echo the above sentiments about a manual grinder andwhole beans. We use an old Zassenhaus.
