For the Caffeine Lover: Liquid Solution Thunder Coffee Press & Tea-zer

Forget the notion that modern-day campers are all Amish-worthy self-denial. With today's arsenal of high-tech, lightweight, ultra-comfortable gear—from backpacks to tents to apparel—taking to the backwoods has never been more pleasurable. And nowhere is this more evident than in what you consume. Think coolers for wine and aperitifs, camp-ready condiment and spice holders, and sturdy coffee presses to keep joe addicts in the buzz. Step forward Liquid Solutions Thunder press, a brewmug with a patent-pending lid-and-plunger that deploys a small disc to halt the brewing process once the black stuff's good to go. Not the smallest kid on the block—a rather bulky 13 ounces—this will appeal to those who like their creature comforts without the added hassle of a more traditional brew setup, but aren't stuck for space or obsessed with shaving the next nano-ounce from their load. The double-wall construction retains heat longer, while a rugged design will withstand the inevitable outdoor dings. Liquid Solution also features the slimmer Tea-zer for those who can't live without their aromatic libation; able to brew loose leaves or teabags.
