Totally agree on the Via. That's a maga-improvement in instant coffee and an excellent field drink. And I keep it in my office as well for those days when I forgot to bring in some beans.

We've tried everything under the sun to make camp coffee. The last couple years we've stuck to the MEC Gsi java press, $25 at Mountain Equipment Co-op.
I would have to say Starbucks Via is a close second.

I have been using Sainsbury's single cup coffee.
Which is like a little flat pack filter with coffee already in it, folds open to hook on the sides of your mug and a decent coffee blend too

I am a coffee addict. I drink one large mug every morning and it is a very important ritual for me. I keep four packets of Via in my possibles pouch as a morale booster just in case I am caught out without my cup of coffee. On many days coffee IS breakfast.
As for living in South America and drinking "instant coffee" the instant coffee we get here is a chemical swill that IMO does not even resemble coffee other than being brown. The Via is actually quite good and if you didn't know it came from a little packet you might not guess.
That's kinda what I meant Pict. Some of the best coffee in the world is grown in South America so I wouldn't have thought instant would be very popular. I loved the coffee in Panama; he real coffee that is as I never tried instant there. Bear in mind though that was roughly 40 years ago.

I struggle to find a reasonably priced pre packaged coffee as anything weaker than a colombian or french roast literally makes me feel sick. Most of the coffee bags and filter stuff here is a medium strength- no good for me unfortunately.

i have in fact considered looking for a cafetiere in 12 cm. thus you can dismantle the filter and push rod (they usually unscrew) and then simply boil your water, put your filter together, drop in your grounds and then press into your 12cm billy.
if you have a 10cm billy your in luck as most cafetiere's are in fact 10cm!
bonus is they're light weight too and should fit in your leather pouch with your billy.

The best cup of coffee I ever had was on my first flight to Brazil, Lloyd's of Bolivia airline. We made the trip from Miami to La Paz, Boliva in a 727. When we got on the plane it was packed to the gills, everyone had excess hand baggage. It was total confusion. I was sitting there thinking, "What am I getting myself into?"
Then they gave me a cup of coffee, it was silk in a cup, the breakfast blend of paradise. I remember thinking, OK lets give South America a chance. I have now spent most of my adult life here.
