in Gone off!
My favorite coffee is filter coffee. At work, coffee is very expensive and apart from hot water, we don't have any other facility. It is a bit awkward to bring a whole coffee maker. Is there a compact one or a less awkward solution? If not and I have to resolve to instant coffee, can you suggest me a non-acidic one, because most I have tried are very acidic (eg. Nescafe Gold)?

    You can get travel mugs with built in cafetieres, so you could take that to work with a supply of fresh coffee and simply add hot water.

    Use a plastic filter cone with paper filters - a lot less bother than a plunger at work (or home, even.)

    good find, thanks!
    I will go for it
    but just in case I find it easier with the instant coffee, is there an instant coffee that is not acidic?

    one question about the cones:
    in an electrical coffee maker, the hot water drips slowly
    with the cone, I suppose it drips instantly
    what does this difference cause?

    also, I was thinking of metallic filters, but they don't block cafestol and I have problem with cholesterol

    so, is there an easy way for a filtered coffee? and not french pressed?

    I find Kenco decaff the best tasting instant, but it is weaker than filtered.

    which ones you buy? and how do you remove them from the cup? you put your fingers inside the coffee to take it out?
