So basically cowboy coffee drunk through a straw with a filter? Seems like a solution to a problem that is easily solved by other methods. Personally, I don't mind the body of cowboy coffee, after the grounds have settled in the pot, but if you want, you can carry a very small sieve and pour your coffee through that. Or use a french press.

Restaurant supply or coffee suppliers package coffee in "filter pack" fraction packs. These are 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 oz etc. coffee encased in a filter, like a tea bag. I have not seen them in a grocery store but they are readily available thru suppliers to motels, restaurants, convenience stores etc. Ask the chef, owner, manager to order a box for you. ( about $.75 each) I like 1.5oz ; throw it in a 6/8 cup pot and steep to your taste. Cowboy coffee without grounds.

Aeropress. It’s what I use at home, it’s compact enough to take on trips. However, if you absolutely need something more compact there is the Travel Aeropress. They make a serious great cup of coffee!
Last wish? I wish... you had... more time.

My wife gave me a travel aeropress as a present last year. I love it so much, its all I use now, even at home.

The device mentioned by OP looks to be similar to the ‘bripe’.

If I run an ultralight adventure I will just use via packets, but lately I’ve been more keen to take my aeropress along: despite the bulk and weight and the ability to only make a single cup, it does make the BEST coffee. And with a hand grinder I do somewhat enjoy the ritual of putting it all together.
If you have access to a 3D printer, I designed a new travel cap for the aeropress. It stores the plunger and the lid, and has a sealed compartment that holds 25 filters.

Thank you. I love my aeropress and I downloaded the file. It will take a few weeks until I get to it, but it looks great!!

Yeah, saw that one. Pretty surprised he actually did that review. Got a kick watching it.

Our go to outfitter has these. We have been grabbing a hand full on each trip for years. They work great.

Here's the "do-rag" coffee option we came up with on a recent Algonquin Provincial Park trip when we discovered we'd forgotten our filters. It worked so well we may adopt it as standard--no grounds in the coffee, no filters to burn or carry out...
