I do mostly portage camping so try to keep my weight down. I'm pretty happy with doing cowboy coffee over my stove, but I use a modified James Hoffman's french press technique:
Boil water, add coffee. Add lid, wait ~5 minutes.
Stir and scoop out foam floating on top. Return lid, wait ~5 minutes.
In one single pour, pour coffee from pot into another pot, watching that the sediment remains behind.
Pour from second pot into cups to serve.
I find doing this I get a really clean cup with practically no sediment, and don't need to bring any additional equipment with me.

This is, indeed, just for car camping. I have death wish instant and a soft pour over mesh for BWCA

Wow, I haven't had coffee from a percolator in decades! How's it taste? I use the aeropress for car camping and instant coffee when backpacking.

This statement would cause a riot with my family. They are forever complaining about the coffee!
