I looked into a stainless one, my parents have got one at home, but so far have only seen them for around the £50 mark, which is way OTT IMO!
We have one of these, it's good and double walled so keeps it warm longer. There are cheaper ones if you want a smaller one. Not cheap but half that price.
tbh I'd go for a smart cafe cup for a single mug, use one every day.

On camp I use either a French Press or an Aeropress.
The Aeropress is what I use for day to day coffee at home; very smooth coffee full of flavour. I have several friends and relatives who've had coffee at our place and gone and bought one for themselves.
OK you have my attention now. I have a caffeteire and a couple of spoons of coffee hot water and TA DAH. How nmuch of a phaf is the other type and the weigh etc etc.

Well I paid to get one of the Coleman filter makers from USA before they started selling in the UK. We set it up in our camper at night so we can just turn on the gas in the morning. It is one of the essentials of our camper and stays packed in one of the lockers. I just wish I could find a plastic filter to fit it as it's not the same shape as the paper filters. On one of the sites I looked at when I was buying it people were using them to make hot chocolate - I've not tried this though.

Also a bid coffee fan. I have an insulated cafetiere which does a good 3 mugs, also purchased a hand powered espresso machine from Presso after seeing in on The Apprentice last year. Probably not as good as the pump version mentioned earlier but it's only £80 and solid aluminium, makes a passable espresso as well.
