Great Backpacking Coffee Maker,
By Patrick Burr "Patrick" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MSR MugMate Coffee/Tea Filter (Sports)
This little filter makes great coffee when you are backpacking. It is very durable and light weight and the fine metal mesh easily filters out all of the grounds. I have found the best way to use it is to make cowboy coffee by boiling your grounds and then use the filter when you pour the coffee in your cup. Depending on the size of your pot, you can make coffee for a few campers at the same time. Suggestion: The Finum Teeli Permanent Tea Filter is EXACTLY the same thing for half the price.

Excellent for brewing tea even when you're not camping,

This review is from: MSR MugMate Coffee/Tea Filter (Sports)
I've tested many loose tea brewers and this is the best (I've never used it to brew coffee so look to other reviews for an evaluation of how well it does that). The problem with most loose tea brewers is that the mesh is too coarse, letting through flecks of tea. This brewer has a very fine mesh. I'm not a camper, but I was in REI to buy some shoes and I spotted this and decided to give it a try since I'd never found a really satisfactory tea brewer. I was delighted. That was a couple years ago -- I've been using mine a couple times every day ever since -- So I feel MSR is missing the mark here -- they should be marketing this in kitchenware stores, not just in camping stores. I bought my second one from Amazon so I can have one for me and one for a guest. (I don't like to brew tea by using the same tea leaves for two cups -- the second cup is never as good as the first -- each tea drinker deserves a cup of tea made from fresh leaves, not leaves that have been used to brew another cup before theirs. By having two of these, I can brew two excellent cups of tea at once.)
For loose tea, I recommend alltea (for excellent tea with good value -- try their English Breakfast tea -- very hearty) or Upton tea (for an amazing variety of high-end teas). Have you ever tried Rooibos tea? -- give it a try!

Light, small, fits in a cup and if you bring fresh ground coffee on your next trip, you will be in heaven. Excellent item.
