While I'm still thinking about getting one of those not-necessarily
lightweight french presses and carrying Peets with me on my next trek, I
usually get by with either Celestial Seasoning's Morning Thunder tea, Tazo's
Awake, or (ack) the various insta-flavored-coffees.   I haven't had to
resort to NoDoz, fortunately - must not be that addicted.  Although the

I agree strongly with someone who said recently that though caffeine may be
dehydrating, some of us may continue to enjoy while hiking because we have
decided that the degree to which it enhances our enjoyment of life makes it
worth it.  :-)  Anyway, I used to carry "real" coffee, but finally
simplified the process by brining Medallio D'Oro instant espresso, available
widely in gourmet shops as well as many ordinary grocery stores.  It comes
in small expensive jars but a little goes a long way.  When it's 5 am and 25
degrees out, I find it to be entirely satisfactory.
