A fold-flat nylon mesh pour-over cone with three clip-on legs that sit on top of your mug. People pick it because it brews real ground coffee for less than half an ounce and about eleven dollars.

What reviewers say
REI buyers rate it 4.6 of 5 across 213 reviews, mostly for how small and light it is and how easy it is to rinse out. The main complaint is that water runs through fast, which can make weak coffee unless you grind finer or pour slowly; adding a paper filter fixes that but slows the brew and cools the cup. A few owners wonder how long the plastic legs will hold up. A long-time Trailspace reviewer used it on a cold, wet ski tour and still calls it a favorite over bulkier brewers like an AeroPress.
Good
- Almost no weight or bulk
- Fits most mugs
- Cheap
- Easy to clean, no paper needed
Not so good
- Fast drain can make weak coffee; takes some dialing in of grind and pour
- Messier than paper filters or an AeroPress
- Plastic legs may be a long-term weak spot
Who it's for
Campers and backpackers who want real coffee instead of instant without carrying a press. If you want a fully dialed, mess-free cup, a paper-filter dripper or press may suit you better.
