Coffee, 'strainer'

[nevetsjc80]

Does anyone know if a coffee 'strainer' exists and where i could ge one. I dont mean a filter really like you can get for cups which have an open top. I mean like a tea strainer the ball type that locks shut and you dunk into you mug only with a fine mesh?

 

[MrEd]

i have something similar to that from clas ohlson, its 3 for a fiver or something.

its a sphere of mesh that is held shut by a spring, its quite fine, i have used it for tea and less mega ground coffee (got a grinder) and its ok, bit off seepage round the edge but aslong as you leave 5mm in your cup and dont swill it around any grounds that do escape sink to the bottom

They are called a Tea Infuser.

I've got one of these,

...makes awful coffee. I've had much better luck wrapping grounds in a paper filter and stirring that around. It's called a "cup-pour-ri", can't really recommend.
And how do you like your coffee, sir?
Cold, dark, and bitter, just like my women.

I think you are all whimps and should sift your coffee through your teeth then spit the grounds out like a cowboy.

You know, you're right. dang-it. For a one-pot show (minimal muggery methinking, maddave) I've got to get this down. I'm hooked on the cone and filter which I use at home and out. It is all in the grind. Any thoughts for cowboy coffee? course, Turkish, micro-dust?

Like I need another cup today...here goes

Under no circumstances should any other personal garments of clothing be proposed as filters...

A couple of years ago I met a guy in a remote Scottish bothy who showed me a very neat and very cheap way to make filter coffee. Buy a pair of 'pop socks' put the coffee in the toe of one and dunk it in the hot water in the cup. Works a treat. Mind you if your a bloke buying 'pop socks' can get you some strange looks!

Real men drink tea leave the coffee for the poncy continentals :-D

Try this thread

A vietnam coffee setup is mentioned. Bought a couple, they are great. Use them at home as well. Means you can make one cup of decent coffee.

I have one of those Vietnamese coffee things and found cleaning the grounds a pain. At home I have Nespresso but I can't afford one of those hand pump espresso things.

I discovered these the other day. http://www.coffeeperfection.com/coffee-bags.php The strongest blend is fine when i'm out and about.

I've got one of the Bodum Bistro Single Cup Presses.

The coffee it makes is not as good as you get from an Aerobie AeroPress (which makes some of the best coffee I've made at home or in the field) but it's a lot smaller to carry and it still work's if you get your filter discs wet it your pack and it's a bit tight but it will work with flask mugs like these.

One thing to note though is that you really have to use coarse cafetiere coffee as the mesh could be finer.
