Could make a scout leader red with rage

Reviewer Comments: I had the unfortunate privilege of using this piece of gear during a scouting event out to Joshua Tree. I had three other scout leaders with me, and we wanted a cup of coffee in the mornings. Easy right? No! I’ve had many years of working in a cafe, and have made coffee all over the world… this thing was so frustrating that we ended up skipping coffee. The filter clogs even with minimal grinds inside, and does not create a good seal with the container, so even if you’re being gentle and give the grinds enough time to settle, you will still be drinking the grinds in the final product.
As if your trouble wasn’t over from there, this thing is a pain to clean without running water nearby (and with all the gray water rules this could be illegal depending on where you are). Like one of the other scout leaders said on that trip, “Save your money… you’ll get better results using your sock.”
