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!

This statement would cause a riot with my family. They are forever complaining about the coffee!

Wow, I haven't had coffee from a percolator in decades! How's it taste? I use the aeropress for car camping and instant coffee when backpacking.
