Thanks for that coffee concentrate recipe.

I had a co-worker that used to make the concentrate, and I really liked the smooth taste.

I like French Press coffee, too, and have gotten stuck on that at home generally. I want to start the concentrate going as an alternative. Great idea for the iced coffee or blended coffee drinks!

As far as instant goes, I found Nescafe brand from South America to be surprizingly good. I don't know how they mess it up here in the USA.

Agreed on the coffee tea bags having a foul flavor. How can they make it so bad? It must be a product fully supported by caffeine need and not taste.

I like to carry a small Melita kit on the trail. For years, I have been dripping a whole liter into my polycarb Nalgene first thing in the mornings when breaking camp. But, sadly now I find that the great trail taste was enhanced by BPA ;-).
