Looking forward to good coffee on our upcoming trip

I bought this for an upcoming hike after reading a lot of great reviews. When I received it I was excited to try it. On our last hike, our coffee pot didn't work well and was difficult to use. I liked how simple it seemed and not too expensive. I heated some water, dosed the thickness and poured water. I left it for 4 minutes as the instructions say. I gently squeezed the plunger and poured it into my cup. I had a fine grind in my coffee, but I didn't use the coarse grind as the instructions say, so I can't fault the press. The coffee tasted just like my Keurig! I'm very happy with it, my only complaint is the 30oz isn't as big as I thought it made about 2 large cups of coffee, I was hoping for 4 but I didn't fill it all the way. I am really looking forward to good coffee on our upcoming trip.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
