You're welcome, tb!

I tend to carry lightweight (12-18lb base weight) loads, not ultralight, so I'm always looking for solutions that weigh about the same but that add convenience, simplicity, or good flavor to my walk.

Oh, and you filter it (twice) through a fine strainer, NOT a coffee filter -- takes too much of the flavor out. There is some sediment in the bottom of the bottle at the end.

Good note, that. I use one pass through a gold mesh automatic drip coffee strainer; the paper filters take forever. A little sludge ends up at the bottom of my fridge storage container--easy to eliminate if you decant to a secondary container.
