Did Ya See?

I honestly don’t consider it a hassle to make coffee in a French Press and hardly feel “shackled” to the oppression of a coffee machine, but I do think this solution might be handle for picnics, short hikes, preparedness kits and other scenarios where you don’t want to worry about the usual coffee gear.
