The Gocoffun Portable Pour Over Coffee Maker is a simple, budget pour-over filter for camp coffee, and like our titanium one, it easily earns its spot in our kit. We’ve used it on a few camping trips: put it over your cup, add the coffee and pour hot water over it. That’s all, your coffee is ready. It tastes a little better than instant coffee, and there’s no fiddling with little paper filters. It cost $16.
What’s in the box
A black ABS resin cup with a double-layer 304 stainless steel mesh filter inside and a bracket that folds out to rest on your mug. It weighs 50 g, the arms open to 118 mm, and it fits cups up to 11.8 cm across.

- Very simple to use
- Better than instant coffee
- No paper filters needed

Making coffee with it
It’s as simple as camp coffee gets. Fold out the bracket and set it on your cup, put the ground coffee in, then pour the hot water over it and let it drip through. The steel mesh holds back the grounds, so there are no paper filters to pack. It’s quick, and the coffee tastes a little better than instant.
A good budget option
The Gocoffun makes coffee just as well as our titanium filter. That one is lighter and more durable, so it’s the one we prefer, but at $16 the plastic Gocoffun is just fine if you’re on a budget; it’s in our camping coffee makers guide as well. After use, have fresh water at hand and rinse it out fully before you pack it back up, and ideally dry it too; we do that before it goes back into the clear-top bags in our kitchen kit.
Gocoffun or titanium?
We use both filters, and they make coffee just as well. The Gocoffun costs less; the titanium filter is lighter and more durable.

Yes, on a budget. It cost $16 and makes coffee just as well as our titanium filter. If you want lighter and tougher, the titanium one is worth the extra.
