It's something of a unitasker, but the SlickBoil kettle makes camp coffee easy

You'd have to grind your beans before you left the house*, but if you were to set out on a camping trip with the hand-cranked Presso espresso machine and this Cuissential SlickBoil collapsible kettle, you'd be set up for wonderful coffee however far from civilization you might stray.

The SlickBoil consists of a silicone jug with a stainless steel base. The upper collapses down into the bowl-shaped bottom when not in use, making a flat, easy-to-pack pancake just 2.5-inches (6.35cm) thick. Open, it has enough capacity to boil four cups of water (0.95 liters).

I especially like the shape, which looks a lot like an earthenware pot turned on the wheel. I can totally see one of these in my bike pannier when the weather turns a little warmer in a few months. On the other hand, every bar in Spain serves a decent espresso, so I might just go the lazy route and save a few pounds of extra weight. $35.

*Does anyone know of a battery or crank-driven burr grinder?
