I could but it's become a sort of morning ritual to roast then grind it, it's much better freshly done. I'll have a go on that GSI one I reckon thanks for your help guys

cheers

Pestle and mortar?

or a bag and a hammer?

I have one of the type that are a small wooden box with a hand powered crank. They work fine - about 9" cubed. I can take a picture if it helps.

If your hiking and carrying your kit for any distance then 500 grams on a grinder alone seems a bit crazy to me.

If you're car camping then weight isn't really an issue so why not bring your one from home?
If it needs 240v then bring an inverter.

Porlex grinder

A superb hand grinder, really good quality, not very heavy and about the size of a Uco candle lantern.

Would a mouli hand grater work? Very light and you can pick them up from car boots, charity shops, eBay, etc. for peanuts. I haven't tried one but I guess it could work and if it doesn't than you haven't wasted much cash.

or just reuse a pepper mill.

PS: The Hario Hand cranked grinders get great reviews

I've never been a gram counter and I wont start now if I can pick my pack up then it's fine

Then get one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Porlex-Mini-Mill-Hand-Grinder/dp/B0044ZA066

Honestly they don't weigh much and they are very very good at grinding coffee

Plastic teeth not good for beans excellent for other soft herbs, I thought this the revival of Camp coffee

Sorry cant help with the grinding side of it , and i dont blame you for wanting a nice cup of fresh coffee to start the day, i love it myself, but can I ask you and all the other guys what do or how do you use your grinds? do you take perculators with you? which I did once and got laughed off the site, I do like a coffee

I'm with Mr Fenna on that one, always gives me a mental image of Mr Creosote when I think of that stuff
