Bought one last year in the states and have used an old nalgene bottle. Its fantastic! Such looks of jealousy as the smell of coffee wafts across the campsite!

There's a coffee press attachment for Jetboils. Fantastic!

Does anyone else steal those wee milk containers from cafes? Camping essentials.
