Speaking from experience here. I've had this for about a year now and its exceptionally made. It's literally an heirloom product that I can pass down to one of my kids. Worth every penny to me. No paper filters check, lightweight check, small form factor check, if you use it every day it pays for itself fairly quickly. Also quick tip keith says to tap the lid against the rim of the funnel if your coffee slows down. The coffee will start pouring faster again. Perfect flow. Great review btw.

As a former machinist, I can say that the *BULK* of this set's expense is to be found in the cone-shaped filter. Most titanium outdoors oriented cooking and water transportation equipment gear has a price tag that is 3 times its equivalent stainless steel counterpart. *If this set was stainless steel and a similarly designed filter was utilized, then instead of the expected one-third reduction in price between stainless steel and titanium, you could expect to pay upwards of $120.00 for the 5-piece set.* Laser drilling that many extraordinarily *TINY,* straight-sided holes in a piece of titanium would be both difficult to accomplish as well as quite an engineering achievement. To execute those thousands upon thousands of holes in a funnel-shaped design with the large mouth of the funnel on the outside of the cone is an exponentially greater engineering achievement. That the holes were in all likelihood drilled, one at a time, on a flat piece of titanium sheet stock, utilizing a sophisticated computer program, which would result in *EACH* hole being *PRECISELY* equidistant from its neighboring holes when the sheet metal was shaped into its final cone shape, *is where the true genius of the engineering accomplishment for this titanium coffee filter cone comes in.* That's why this tiny backpacking coffee filter set costs so much money. Not only is it an engineering marvel, but the added expense of titanium adds to its cost. I can well understand the reluctance to pay so much for what is seemingly so little in return. This set should be a lifetime investment for anyone, and if properly cared for last hundreds of years.

Mark, you're not getting me to get rid of my AeroPress. If I were a backpacker (4x4, kayak, boat, MTB, pulk), the light weight would be the deciding factor. I did get a metal filter for the Aero, but I can see that the Keith has much smaller holes, so probably works better. With that system, I think I would use the 'steep' method. The filter stand would make the final dripping much more convenient. I have one single-wall titanium mug and I find that it keeps the contents hot enough right to the last drop. Another good review.

A niche and very desireable piece of Titanium outdoor jewelry ,with seduction values that some will find irresistible, hence I now have this product also the equally expensive Keith titanium mini teapot, first impressions having got over the steep price tag is luxury was never intended to be cheap and the value is wrapped up in the experience of owning a premium product and how it makes you feel when using it .Hard to quantify maybe but if you really appreciate stellar engineering there is added comfort in the aesthetics . It is certainly not for anyone on a tight budget and like a Bentley or Rolls Royce car those lucky enough to own these desirable trinkets will not be disappointed . Hopefully Keith will now send you the companion piece a gorgeous mini Titanium teapot which I also own and use every day . Both of these products are top of the range flagship models and like the cars mentioned not foe the masses they do however showcase what can be achieved when cost is applied after the very highest manufacturing brains are engaged to produce an elite limited production high end product .

A reusable drip pot insert is what I use. I bring water to a boil, remove the pot from the heat and insert the plastic basket with grounds in it and let it steep, lifting it several times, toss the grounds into the firepit (preferred, as they will burn with the next fire) or into the woods, wipe out the basket, and put it back into my pot to transport it. Simple, cheap, effective, and light. If I ever feel the need for space age coffee, I will certainly look into the Keith pour over basket. 👍

I use a MSR mugmate type of filter for my loose leaf tea, at home. I don't expect such a filter last long in nature though, with cleaning etc. Mugmate filter has a holder that functions as a cap, so those tea leaves can be put in the fridge for 2 more steepings. Your costly made titanium filter looks much more robust and maybe easier to clean. For pour over coffee. I imagine it being a little small for loose leaf tea and and also the cup size. Myself I like to make about 300ml tea. All the tea leaves have to be also under the water in the mug.

@@MarkYoungBushcraft It is possible that the dripper from an OXO or "Goodcook Koffe" could be used with a sturdy packable cone. That was what caught my eye in your review; that this Keith titanium cone is probably strong enough to support a dripper full of water. Other packable cones might suffice, but they would have to be tested. Some are too flimsy to support a dripper. For that matter, a typical home pour-over cone is plastic, so they are pretty light. They just are not collapsible.

Thanks for this review. I am always curious about coffee makers. This item seems entirely too fiddly for camping use--I think that top could easily be knocked off the cup while pouring water in it or if it is set on a less than perfectly level surface (hello, the woods), plus the filter is set so high above the cup it allows too much air-flow which adds to the loss of heat there. I don't think adding the lid to the top would help that. Lastly, that price. Wow! Yes, I understand the construction details are great and it is titanium but it's definitely not in my budget. Honestly, though, even if it was, I would not buy it for the reasons previously mentioned.

If you purchase a box of ten coffee bags (£3). Boil your water in your existing titanium cup (£20). Drop a bag in , let it steep to taste. Compared to this product that I like, but it's a very expensive way to make coffee. Suggest that when using. Some heat could be retained by using the leather container as a pot cosy. However, at the price quoted it becomes how much do want to pay for a coffee £20 or £200 it's still a cup of coffee. If I can't dip a biscuit in it then it's useless. Try before you buy.
