I thoroughly researched this problem and bought what I think is the best solution:

MSR MugMate Coffee/Tea Filter
http://www.rei.com/product/726094

It is not cheap ($17) but it works great and is super portable and takes little space. I now use it multiple times daily. Andy, this is also sold on amazon.com and you should add it to your amazon recommendations page.

The only issue is getting rid of the coffee grounds without clogging the sink. What I do is I put most of the grounds in the garbage. Then I wash the filter inside my cup and pour the rest down the toilet.

For my cup (the only condiment I carry besides a plastic spoon), I have one of those transparent plastic cups that are highly heat resistant and light and a little bigger than a typical coffee mug (maybe 11 ounces (325 ml). And it fits in there perfetctly.

Hi Andy

Why don't you just make "Turkish coffee", simple, without need for filters and extra equipment?
