Design student requests input

[Hilary]

Hi, I am a design student researching portable coffee makers (all types). I have lots of info on current options and models; but I need your help to learn what you would most like to see in a backpacking-friendly coffee maker.

What are the most important aspects to you as a backpacker with regards to coffee?

What would the ultimate coffee maker be?

Thank you for your input!

You might want to give this forum a shot. There are alot of hardcore backpackers there.

For me, the ultimate hiking coffeemaker would be one that I don't have to lug around or tru to cram into my pack. If it could keep me from spilling grounds all into my bag, that'd be a plus.

Maybe one that uses the Senseo packets, or something similar.
Actually, that's not a bad idea...
