Coffee is probably not the most logical thing to drink on the trail due to  
its diuretic effect, but I can't help it, I'm addicted to the stuff.   
Sometimes I take instant chai type tea powder from Sam's club or Trader Joe's,  but I 
notice it has coconut oil in it which is high in cholesterol.  My  doctor 
wants me to get my cholesterol down a little.  For coffee on the  trail, I grind 
up good arabica coffee beans (at home) and use a MSR  Mugmate to make it.  I 
flick the used grounds out and rinse it with hot  water.  For some reason I 
can't tolerate instant coffee, but that's just  me.  I notice that the coffee that 
comes in bags like teabags has a lot of  instant in it.
