For the last ten years or so I only drink a cup or two of coffee a day, as long as it is really black. Like espresso black.
I had a little stainless french press pot that I used for years, then switch to a small Bialetti Moka Pot, which works great but is on the heavy side.
But for the last 3 years I've been using an Aeropress or an Aeropress Go.
The Moka or aeropress are great, but not for all day coffee drinkers or group camps.
I'm always solo and like I said a cup or two, so it works good for me.
If I want a warm drink beyond my two cups I will occasionally brew a cup of tea, which is nice because it's warm, but I've never really fully acquired a taste for tea.
Edit: for some reason when I tried to post two photos and two captions it said I was over the 10000 character limit. I can get pretty wordy at times, but I'm positive my captions were not THAT long.....lol

I use the same coffee kit year round so my summer light weight backpacking bleeds into my winter haul.
For me the Starbucks Via Roast (I am a fan of the light roasts) is frankly pretty good.
I think it is as good if not better than what many restaurants serve. The price is not bad too. I buy in Canada and usually the cost is less than $1CAD per packet so about $1.70 for my two packet breakfast.
If on a luxury trip with friends sometimes I vacuum seal pre-ground portions and use it with the Aero press.
Sometimes we also bring some sweetened condensed milk. We can find it at the European Markets in a squeeze tube but now we mostly decant a small can into a couple of small (2oz) bottles. We have never had spoilage even after a couple weeks in the summer.

my 6c perc does it for me! (or 12c for more people) I grind my particular poison fresh before leaving, bag it and wrap the bag around the stem to save space. At camp I use my one burner to brew it to whatever strength I want- roofing tar in the morning, light at night. I've tried everything from a fancy bodum to those abominable coleman drip makers, and even various "mugmate" style filters, but always seem to go back to the perc for it's convenience and simplicity, and the perc does double duty as a boiler for soup or dehydrated meals.

I’m more than a wee bit envious of folk who can drink bush coffee... Can’t do it myself,,, 3 score years a coffee drinker, but in the bush, it’s black tea only,,, well, sometimes spruce tea...
I tried to make coffee “out there” when I was younger, most of it thick enough to chew,,, a certain asphalt quality to it,,, or something like drinking bitter cornmeal,,, no, it’s tea only for me now... Does though please me some folk make a bush coffee they can endure...
