I'm with Val and use a plastic holder for a filter.  I make it into the flask to keep it warm for a little later in the morning.

I've seen a lot of people camping abroad doing this.  Some Dutch people we camped next to put the plastic filter straight on top of the flask ready to take out for the day.

I've copied them at home.  I make a cafetiere then decant it into a flask to keep hot, it also stops it from tasting stewed.

Tip for cafetiere coffee is to do lots of stirring so you get a good flavour.

Hi You just can't beat a stove top expresso maker for good coffee, just the same as you will find in the french cafes. Probably the best value one around can be found in Ikea right now.

thanks folks ..... by chance went via MILs last weekend and found an old plastic coffee filter in the garage and a box of 100 paper filters .... so we're all set up!

I like the idea of popping it in a flask to keep it warm!
