[ coffee ] This morning I ponder whether to bring instant coffee of real coffee on my next short backpacking trip? Coffee offers so much emotion and feelings with the clear and crisp air of the early morning hours in the mountains. Oh the memories! The smells, the taste, the anticipation! All this comes from "real" coffee, the non-instant type. I think instant coffee offers only one advantage, weight. In my search for a "good" cup of instant coffee I came across a coffee ordering house with some very reasonable prices.
