At home...What's everyone's favourite coffee makers?
But more seriously, on the hill when espresso is not an option the Tetra Drip is very good: light and works well https://valleyandpeak.co.uk/brands/munieq/kitchen/tetra-drip-ultra-light-coffee-dripper-pp/

As a committed and somewhat picky coffee drinker, I much prefer the taste and texture of paper/cloth filtered coffee these days, at home and out. It's less oily and bitter, and leaves no oily residue on my cups and pot.
I find the paper cone holders a bit faffy and slow for more than a days use, and the coffee is often a bit too cool when you brew on a windy hill.
The Aeropress is my favourite. It's unbeatable for ease of cleaning, quality of brew and gives a reliable great coffee in any temp. I use it all the time at home and also out.
It's basically a tough polycarbonate syringe that you fill with coffee and water, and then push the lot through a 50mm paper filter disc by pushing down after 2-5 mins.
Yeah, it's a bit heavy compared to others but nothing gets close for ease of use and consistency of a decent coffee out in the hills.
The shorter travel version fits in my 900ml pots and I cut a hole in a spare mug lid to take the base.

I've been using this for the last year and a bit.
It came with a bar of lavender soap & soap dish. Boiled it a bit to see what colour would bleed. Seems fine to use, it does let some of the finner grounds through, but no more really than other filters. I tend to boil a little extra water and leave the cup sitting in that water in the pot while the coffee is steeping, like a bain marie. Works for me and is easy to clean.

I like coffee, and but am no connoisseur
For lightness I use this for tea but also for ground coffee occasionally.
Chatsford Mug Infuser
11g
These are similar but heavier at 18g (without lid).
MSR do a heavier more expensive "Mug Mate"
Tetra drips etc may make superior coffee, but too much of a tippy faff for me.
An aeropress makes superior coffee.
But not light.

I use the GSI Java Drip...It folds flat, it's easy to clean, it dries quick, and it does not require filter papers, plus it only weighs 10g.
It makes great tasting coffee anywhere, and you don't have to wait a minimum of 3-4 minutes for your coffee like you do with other coffee makers...Just mount it to the rim of your cup/mug, fill it at least a couple of teaspoons of your favourite ground coffee, pour your water over the grounds in the filter, and it only takes about a minute or so and your coffee is ready. They even do a replacement filter for it if you somehow manage to rip the one that comes with it, and that only weighs 1g, so the majority of it's weight is in the three folding plastic support legs.
