The GSI Ultralight Java Drip is a pour-over coffee dripper built around one priority: packed weight. At 10 g it barely registers on a scale, and the collapsible frame folds flat to roughly the size of a chip-can lid, small enough to tuck under a fuel canister without adding bulk to a cook kit.
Unlike single-use pour-over sachets, it's reusable — a fine mesh filter handles the brewing instead of paper, so there's no need to carry or resupply filters on a longer trip, which suits thru-hikers wanting fresh coffee without packaging waste. Three adjustable legs clip onto the rim of almost any mug or pot rather than requiring a matched cup, making it easy to share between vessels at camp.
The trade-off is control: a fixed-geometry mesh dripper won't match the extraction consistency of a paper filter or heavier ceramic setup, and there's no handle or lid included, so the mug underneath is the only insulation. For anyone counting grams, 10 g is hard to beat for real drip coffee.
