[pct-l] Good coffee ?

[Thomas Jamrog]

I like the MSR Mugmate  filter for about $17.  Ditch the unneeded lid  
and it is down to .6 OZ.  Put it in your cup, put whatever grounds you  
want in there, and pour in hot water and let it seep.
It works even better when I  boil water in my titanium pot, and throw  
the coffee grounds in the pot.  Let it steep in there, and then pour  
the coffee into your cup, using the MSR as a filter.  Of course you  
ultralights would counter this with the use of a bandana as the  
filter, and then ditch the Mugmate.  I know.
