[pct-l] To all the coffee lovers

[Stephen]

The problem withthe filters is the wet trash; the primary reason my friend 
and I switched to the MSR screen filter which is durable and easier to pour 
and more stable.  I make coffee inthe morning and packmy gear while I enjoy 
it and am hiking quite early, often with mug in hand.
