Pour over is about the simplest way to make a proper coffee at camp: ground coffee, a filter, hot water and a mug. This collapsible silicone dripper holds the filter over the mug, and when you’re done it folds flat into a disc.

We paid $15 for a pack of two. The great thing about it is that it takes up literally no space, and once it’s popped up it’s pretty sturdy.
What You’re Getting
Two silicone pour over drippers. Each one folds flat for packing and pops up into a cone with a wide base that rests on top of a mug. You add your own paper cone filters and ground coffee.

Size and packing
Folded, the dripper is a flat disc. That makes it easy to pack: it slides into a drawer, a cutlery roll or the lid pocket of a kitchen box, where a rigid cone would be awkward. One dripper weighed 91 g on our scale.
Popped up, it becomes a ribbed cone on a wide base, and it’s pretty sturdy: it holds its shape while you pour. The base sits on top of the mug and the cone holds the paper filter. It fits perfectly over the Sea to Summit Detour mugs we use.
Making a coffee
Heat the water first. Then pop up the dripper, sit it on your mug, put a paper cone filter in it and add ground coffee. Pour the hot water over the coffee slowly, in a few goes, and let it drip through.
The coffee tastes alright: a decent cup of filter coffee, nothing more. It makes one mug at a time. With two drippers in the pack, two people can brew at once instead of taking turns.
Cleaning up
This is where a paper filter helps at camp. The used grounds stay in the paper, so you lift the whole thing out and put it in the rubbish bag. The dripper itself only needs a quick rinse, which uses very little water.
The trade-off is that you need to buy paper filters separately, and remember to restock them. They aren’t included in the pack.
