I drink at least 2 or 3 cups of coffee a day, but Bonnaroo is the one place I don't want it. I bring these cans of Seattle's Best to avoid a caffeine headache. The mocha is good but the vanilla is too sweet imo.
Starbucks Via instant coffee packs are decent. Both hot and warm water work well for it. A french press also works well and I've used that on many a camping trip. A basic camp stove to heat the water should run you about $20 at Wal-mart.
Lately though, I've been experimenting with cold brewed coffee. All you do is mix the grounds with water in a jar and seal it overnight ( or longer). When you want coffee you can just pour it through a filter, french press or (better yet) on of these . you can drink it cold or heat it on a camp stove as desired. At home I've been using this; just put the coffee in it and leave it in the fridge overnight.
One of the things I've discovered about cold brewed coffee is that it's less acidic so it reduces the heartburn I get so oftena s I'm getting older. Another feature is that cold brewing is it makes a naturally sweeter and less bitter brew that quite simply tastes so much better!
I knew about Black Blood of the Earth( BBotE) before I saw that episode and thought it was pretty funny. I wanted to email the BBotE guy and ask him if he knew someone named Heisenberg!

I see your Iced Mocha, and raise you coffee energy death (also I tend to have on of these a day instead of hot coffee)

I used to always get the iced mochas in centeroo, I believe they were $6. I don't even want to say that is pricey because they were a godsend everyday. All riddled with caffeine and icy goodness. When I am at home I make a pot of coffee and keep it in the fridge for iced coffee, so I think this year I am going to make a pot or two and keep them in the cooler.
I have a French press, I'm going to bring it to roo in the event my camp mates or neighbors want to use it....but I probably won't use it
Moral of the story is that there is coffee all over roo, a bit pricey but still worth it. There are options to make it OR since we here at inforoo are all coffee fiends just walk around in the morning yelling "corncat" and odds are one of the people who responds will have coffee

I'm not a fan of those, deto. They don't taste right to me. They do probably have twice as much caffeine, but I don't need that much at roo.

Completely fair, I really only have it at Roo for that Guarana.. I use to do NO5 at Roo -- this is a good mid road. I usually only have one in the afternoon depending what time I leave for Centeroo, and dependent on how much beer I've already drank
So does everyone have plastic french presses? I thought we couldn't bring anything glass in? Did I read that wrong?
My french press is glass... there is no glass permitted at Bonnaroo, yet I make coffee every day... let's just say that the tollbooth people are searching for other things and have never seemed concerned about tearing my entire car apart looking for coffee supplies.

I've used what me and mine call a coffee ball
Pour a generous amount of coffee into a filter pull all sides together at the top and wrap TIGHTLY with twist tie or rubber band and drop it in about a pot of water
If your paranoid about coffee floaters use two filters and wrap it the opposite way round
Leave in for 10 min to an hr depending on strength Has allways gave me a swift kick in the a$$ when camping

I've never seen a quality plastic press that was worth it's weight
Ever since my first year (without a table or shade tent) I've enforced an anti-cooking policy with our group at Bonnaroo, the only exception is coffee. We use a single burner camp stove to heat water in a stainless steel percolator, then just use the Starbucks Via, no messy grounds to clean up after... Perfect.
Oh, and add a little Jamison for an Irish coffee before late night!
