Just got an email from the Javette folks to tell me that they are having a Sept sale. Any one who orders the 20 packets deal gets and extra 5 packets for free...They wrote to tell me that they would include me in on that despoite the fact that I ordered in Aug! Yay! Haveing a good set of people to deal with just sweetens the deal! Good coffee good people!

Hey Diane,
I may have seen your "flavored" solution to the coffee creamer part -- I was in Bashas and they had these little flavor pills (48 to a box) that is supposed to add whatever flavor you choose ..

That's an interesting alternative Kurt. But, I really like the availability of a major caffeine jolt with the concentrate if you really need one.
Maybe Diane can provide a couple samples this weekend...

Agreed - I've always been amazed that they haven't made coffee "snuff"... you know,,,,,,"just a pinch between your cheek and gum"....
I merely added that link in case folks using the "search" function later on for "backpacking coffee" would have easy access to all the alternatives.

Sorry Tom, I ordered Tuesday and haven't recieved them yet. If you email them or call them they will send you a sample of your very own though. I would suggest you try it Tom. The packets would fit right in that little plastic bag you always carry all your condiments in!

I'm with Trishness. I have a java press and it makes a great cup of backcountry coffee. If I'm going for just an overnighter I''ll put the grounds in it before I leave. No packaging.  |
^5 DesertRoux!!!!
JavaPress is camp coffee at it's finest!!!

Camp coffee yes. I love my java press for camp I use it all the time but for back packing I don't think you are gonna be able to beat the low weight, low volume, no hassel, good taste of this product for back packing.

One option I've used is to premix instant coffee with dry creamer and sweetener. Just use that mix with hot water and you're done.
For a big caffiene boost and light weight it's hard to beat chocolate covered beans.

I'm definitely going to order some of this stuff! Sounds great! I have always used a funnel, filters, and whatever specialty coffee I am currently drinking, however, on a longer trip this is a bit too much to carry.
But when I do order the Javette I am going to politely ask that they change that photo, where the man is carrying the backpack, but the woman isn't! Sort of sexist, isn't it? |
