I have asked a friend about this in the past. He was an absolute coffee fiend. He has now given it up and drinks more booze instead (citing its less disruptive to his life).
I remember his tip when I asked him about taking coffee on a long hike.....
"I have in the past made lots of shots of espresso (or espresso corto) with a robust bean, place the shots in a 500ml PET bottle - half fill it. That will be about 10shots (250ml). I make sure I then pop it straight into the freezer (the coffee can oxidize very quickly and degrade once made). Once frozen I can either wrap it and pack it. Its good for a couple of days. Or freeze it, partially thaw it, pour off excess water (to concentrate it even more) then 3/4 fill film containers and freeze the crude oil thick coffee concentrate. I then have a rocket-fuel when I need it - in easy use containers. Just add hot water!
Please note: this coffee can wake the dead."
I have not actually tried it. But he was a bit of pro....so I hope he was not full of

what a lot of fuse over nothing. If really wherre decerning you would be drinking tea, loose leaf (an Assam or Ceylon maybe) made in a tea pot. With a nice piece of home made cake or flapjack to boot.
Just got hold of a couple of the swiss gold filters, really very good for what they are!
Cheers Red.
