Well I gotta Add my .02 I guess. I too am an avid coffee drinker, but i do have to say with the type of backpacking i do taste isn't everything. I am an ultra light back packer, so i will cut weight in any way i can. in the coffee instance at home i like to drink it with alittle of that flavored creamer and thats it. but when back packing i cant carry that stuff, i dont even carry sugar. The coffee is more of a strong kick me in the butt, caffeine enriched, bitter tasting, brush your teeth after, super strong kinda thing. HAHA like some i will sacrifice taste for weight. So i carry the dreaded Nescafe singles. easy pack in pack out, especially on a 5 day hike, trash builds up fast..
