I'm ok camping rough, but there's no compromise on the drinks.If I'm going to make coffee I throw grounds into a pot of boiling water. let it go for about 5 minutes and then let the pot sit a minute or 2. The grounds sink and then you're good to go.
All that said the usual routine is our last warm beer from the night before while breaking camp and then maybe we stop for breakfast or maybe not until a chip truck appears around lunch time.
Unless it's something on a stick over an open fire cooking means cleaning dishes and that's just something I don't want to do while camping. We often camp rough and potable water is limited.
I carry a red Melita 1 cup dripper, a tin cup and a pound of excellent quality coffee. I don't mind eating crappy food, but the morning coffee needs to be good. So do the end of day drinks -- no James Ready's or Alberta Springs.
