I like the Folgers coffee bags. Nice, easy and fast.

I use one of these, works pretty good. Its still the only thing I use at home and away. I'd like to upgrade someday but this has been working for the last 8yrs or so with nearly daily use. Get the stainless version if you get one though, and some extra gaskets.
Thank you for advise of simple vacuum coffee maker http://www.gsioutdoors.com/
When it comes to grounds most roasters will tell you that you only get about 15 days of fresh out of roasted beans.
Unfortunately, it's true. But, that give you a perfect excuse to visit the local roaster twice per month. :victory:
Lucky! It's called a Press-bot and I was looking all over for one months ago. I totally forgot about it until now, thanks for reminding me...They're pretty hard to find.I have a french press attachment that folds and deploys inside my nalgene. Its pretty fricken sweet, they used to sell them at REI but I can't find them anymore.
I know this won't interest everyone, but bodum came out with a couple items that a few of you might be interested in. It caught my "Coffee" eye :Wow1:

That is true in a sense. Oxidation is what causes coffee to go stale, just like with wine. When it is kept in an oxygen free environment, it won't go stale. Fortunately when coffee is roasted it gives off CO2 so if it packaged well right after roasting it will stay fresh.
Yes you have about 2 days from the time of roasting to take advantage of the outgassing. Just be sure to use a check valve in the packaging, otherwise it will blow up like a balloon.
The check valve is also what lets the oxygen out when it is displaced by the CO2.
Just be aware that once that package is opened, you are back at square one (with ~2 weeks until the coffee loses its soul).
