I got one for Christmas, anxious to try it out!
I recently bought a French press for the purpose of camp coffee, and it has replaced my keurig as my daily coffee method. I use the keurig for the hot water though, it is faster than boiling on the stove. Coffee definitely tastes smoother and richer from the press. I've never been a huge fan of the keurig but convenience was the reason for using it. My french press will now be dual purpose, for home and camp.
Unless it change, from what I remember, it was not a good idea to use hot whater in lexan nalgen bottle, specialy the hold ones. Phtalate releasing. My transaltion from french to english of the word could be wrong.
But I still use them for cold drinks.
I use an Aeropress with a screen instead of filter, and found this little grinder that fits perfectly inside it.
Great combo for camping, and I also take it on business trips! Superb cup of coffee.

I'm now an Aeropress convert. I'm sticking to the paper filters because it's the easiest to clean with my low-water rig. (No sink, lots of dry desert camping, so toss/wipe/replace works best for me.) I bought one of the 3rd party caps that covers the end of the plunger and store my extra paper filters within. I'm not quite enough of a coffee zealot that I need to grind fresh for each cup, so I grind when packing for the trip and seal the grounds in a metal tin (a recycled Illy can) that rides in my chuckbox.
Part of my job as the early riser is to get coffee going while the girls sleep, so my coffee is necessarily "kitted" into the chuckbox so I can get it brewed without getting into the main food storage (which is stored under the bed and would disturb my sleeping wife to access)
pretty slick so the handle just rides along side kinda ? maybe velcro tie ?
pretty cool setup might have to replace my hario with that
I have the able metal disc and for me its a noticeable improvement in taste to
think mine is the normal but might have to try a fine one sometime
