I do mostly portage camping so try to keep my weight down. I'm pretty happy with doing cowboy coffee over my stove, but I use a modified James Hoffman's french press technique:

Boil water, add coffee. Add lid, wait ~5 minutes.
Stir and scoop out foam floating on top. Return lid, wait ~5 minutes.
In one single pour, pour coffee from pot into another pot, watching that the sediment remains behind.
Pour from second pot into cups to serve.

I find doing this I get a really clean cup with practically no sediment, and don't need to bring any additional equipment with me.

This is, indeed, just for car camping. I have death wish instant and a soft pour over mesh for BWCA

Oh the mesh sounds good!

But yeah, car camping is fun cause of the kinda things you can bring without worrying about weight!
