    GOOD NEWS , and Ernie they must have been listening because Keith now manufacture a LARGER all titanium coffee filter , I just got one and it rocks ! Another High end Keith product is a 250ml Tiny kettle it also costs silly money , I've used mine daily for over 2 years and I've now gotten over the pain of the price tag ,and like the small coffee pot/ filter it delivers repeat use satisfaction .

    I recommend steeping the coffee like you would tea. It's very different from using the drip stand, so worth trying (especially if you want espresso like strength). Steeping is more forgiving of the grind, as well. I bought once and cried only once, the coffee is sooo good. For backpacking I replaced the leather case with an Allmansright small stuff sack, a perfect fit.

    Because I drink only one small cup of coffee per day, and I use this pour over every day, I consider this set well worth the money. I enjoy Chinese tea brewed Gaiwan style and this little set is also perfect for that. Yes, it is expensive, and I use mine daily, so over a couple of years of use, and the set still looks brand new, it’s worth every penny. Keith quality is top notch.

    Honestly, I'd rather just carry a little jar of instant coffee. It's not as good as fresh coffee, but I can quickly and easily make a big ol' canteen cup of coffee and it doesn't cost $200.

      👍👍👍 Absolutely!
      I put two teaspoons of Instant Coffee with two pinches of Salt into a small Ziploc Bag and I have one cup worth.
      Four of these fit easily (more if necessary) into the next size up Ziploc and you're good to go.
      Much cheaper than the commercial 'single-serving sachets and .. the ziploc bags are reusable.

    For me the best and simplest way to make coffee on the trail is the MSR mugmate, super light, super easy, no need for filters, fits most mugs, allows better brewing as it’s not just a pour over. I’ve tried aeropresses, mini espresso pumps, pour over filters etc, and even when car camping I still take just a simple gauze filter such as the Mugmate. Often the easy way is the best way - thanks Ernie 👍🙏

    Wow, what a beautiful setup! A little too expensive for a medically retired Army Sergeant on VA Disability, but still a beautiful setup!
    Seems to me that this would be the absolutely perfect set for my “Valet” or “Man Servant” to brew the perfect cuppa of my English Breakfast tea in the back seat of my Rolls Royce or Bently (if I owned one) because if I owned either one of those expensive vehicles and had my own personal “Valet”, “Man Servant”, or “Executive Assistant “ I wouldn’t be worried about the $200.00 price tag for the set!!! (And actually having been an Army Sergeant [or “Warrant Officer” for UK forces] we prefer 16oz [473 ml] or above!).

I replaced it with with Titanium Sake flask ( only $200). I fill it with Zacapa Rum. For that kinda money let's cary what really matters. Great review btw!

    Between MSR, Snow Peak, and Evernew, plus one Keith rice cooker, I have about one hundred (100!) pieces of titanium cookware. This excludes titanium stoves and flatware-eating/cooking utensils. Yeah, I know you don't believe me...tell you what, you live in Louisiana as I do. Say when and where and I'll pack it up and bring it all to show you. Of course I've had over fifty years to collect it all, but there it is.
    I too have been lusting after the Keith coffee set. I haven't bought it because number one it's too expensive. If you being an MD don't want to spend that much, me being a firearms instructor/bodyguard would feel pain spending that much at once. As you pointed out it makes approximately 1/3 of the cup of coffee or tea that I normally make.
    Last I already have a Snow Peak coffee set with a Ti French press and Ti milk frother. I can highly recommend the Snow Peak set but if you want one I strongly recommend you buy it quickly. Snow Peak is world famous for discontinuing the best things that they make. At one time, not too long ago, Snow Peak made the absolute best mountaineering stoves and cookware that you could buy. But they apparently got out of the mountaineering/backpacking equipment business and now serve car campers and perhaps mule packers. It really was/is a tragedy if you're a hardcore ultralight type.

    I understand that this is a niche product but I think they missed the target market. Most of us drink a larger coffee. While I like the design and no need to carry filters I can’t get over the small brew size and price. I’ll stick to my GSI pour over and wait until something better comes along.

    I don't know if you've tried Nescafe GOLD coffees and Expresso instant coffees
    but I was blown away by how good they are
    all you need is hot water
    no gizmos - no gadgets
    and I'd put them up against any coffee method out there
    These are freeze-dried coffee and NOT the old-fashioned instant coffee
    big difference.
    When traveling 100X better than the coffee machine at hotels
    or the gizmos we lug around on the trail...

    Thanks for the review, Ernie! I like titanium, ultralight and coffee, but I also like inexpensive... which this is not. I make cowboy coffee in the utensils I already own, and that's about as ultralight & compact as you can get. If you're not into cowboy coffee, you can get coffee in tea bags or pucks. I'm not in favor of rewarding purveyors of insanely & disproportionately high-priced stuff. Keith is really charging an insane premium on this... hope some of their Asian competition can humble them a bit.

    Keith missed its target demographic when they added the leather pouch. Should have made it out of X-Pak or Dyneema. The other problem with it is that you still have the task of heating the water. This will require a larger container, which is where they should have started in designing it.
    I might have chosen one of Keith Titaniums western canteens as they are larger than your normal canteen at .5 and 1.1 gallons. If you were trying to min/max you might have picked the Keith Titanium Dubhe Kettle at $599, but it looks impractical for hiking because of the long handle.

  • @free1.1
    @free1.1 12 часов назад

    Earnie as far as the ratio you just gotta play with the grind settings. Theres a video on youtube where the designer shows the procedure to tqp the filter with the lid a few times if the coffee stalls while brewing. I do it everytime. A couple taps with the lid on the filter gets it flowing and the coffee flows much faster into the cup. Plus the filter has twenty five thousand holes laser etched into the filter thsts where the high cost comes into play. They always do a Christmas sale for 50 dollars off. To me its an heirloom piece it will last a lifetime makes excellent coffee and with the smaller size i normally make two cups. It shines with highend coffee like lightrost or medium. To really highlight the fruit flavors.

  • @asmith7876
    @asmith7876 15 часов назад

    The case appears to be exquisite, extremely well-made. Other than that, this is some sort of joke. $200, makes a cup so small it's an amount I'd drink while waiting for my ACTUAL cup (12-24 ounces), and seems a bit fiddly and annoying to use. Even if they gave it to me I'd never use it. Thanks for the honest review!

  • @neolithicnobody8184
    @neolithicnobody8184 16 часов назад

    From my perspective, the only thing worth a hoot would be the strainer(design and size) and the stand. Is the strainer big enough to hold enough grounds for a larger brew? The drinking vessel is roughly 7.5 oz, less than an actual cup, yet larger than the standard 5-6 oz coffee cup serving(to 1 tablespoon of grounds). Still, is the strainer capable of holding enough grounds to do more than one, and if so what is the maximum possible per strainer? $200 is way over priced, $50 or less would be more suitable considering the size.

    • @Ces1um

      I’m guessing going with a taller cup might result in a weaker cup as you’re still only using that small container of grounds but putting more water through them.

    The leather case looks really nice and seems to be well made too but leather is a relatively heavy material and seems like an odd choice for a piece of ultra light gear. I mean, why use titanium if the weigh does not matter and on the other hand why leather if the weight DOES matter.

    I might take a leather case on a business trip or car vacation, but why would you ever take a heavy leather case on a hiking or backpacking trip? For an ultralight titanium product? I sure wouldn’t. It really makes me wonder if they are confused about their target audience of customers here.

    You can buy a whole cook set for $60 and it comes with a 900 ml mug/pot. Not sure if its Trump proof though. Best buy everything that not made in the USA sooner rather than later and before its double the price.
