Not really a gear question but does anyone know where you can but plastic (Lexan?) coffee pots. Like the Bodrum ones you get with the plunger.

Cheers.

In reply to Colin Henderson:

Sorry , but HOW COULD YOU BE SO CRUEL to coffee

In reply to Colin Henderson: Starbucks had them at the airport! or the Bodum shop. Some folk seem to have the borrowed mini version from service stations.

In reply to Colin Henderson:

got mine in a gear shop in NZ - ask nz cragrat to buy one and send it over - if he can lower himself to buy one

In reply to martin riddell:

you are too cruel.... the indignity - plungers and plastic....

anyway, are you talking a plastic bodum or a thermo mug (US style) with the plunger built into the lid?

In reply to nz Cragrat:
thermo mug (US style) with the plunger built into the lid?

that's what I bought when I was over your way, from a gear shop in christchurch - still works a treat

In reply to martin riddell:

Ahh yes. Not sure what the OP wanted though... can get one if anyone wanted..

In reply to nz Cragrat:
The old Kathmandu ones were great, but the new ones not so much. They're much nicer but heavier and the handle broke off mine first time I swung it to get the grounds out :-/

D

In reply to Colin Henderson: Got mine at Snow and Rock...

In reply to all:

Ta for the input. Yes it's cruel but unshatterable (nice word!) plastic doesn't have to be looked after so well in a rucksack!

Cheers.

In reply to Colin Henderson:

what is wrong with a small moka pot?

I take one into the hills - but then I only drink espresso

In reply to Colin Henderson:

Used to be in most of the gear shops in Keswick - not sure if they're still easily available? And I've also been tempted by the motorway service station option - surely at the price, they're selling you the pot as well as the coffee in it?!

Bodum also make (made?) a very good cup-top plastic coffee filter - much lighter to carry around.

In reply to Carolyn:
I bought an all plastic cafetière in Woolworths, Oban many years ago for not very much (sale I think) mostly to use when car camping as less fragile than the glass versions. Now use a small stove top expresso maker which makes much better coffee

Have you seen this from Lakeland plastics. 2 in 1 plunger and cup. Saves carrying both. I swear by it.

In reply to Slugain Howff:

Perfect. Ta lots. Got one at Lakeland last night (half-price too which was nice)

Thanks to all for input.
