The author, an astronomy and camping enthusiast, purchased three titanium items for making coffee on the road: a filter, a kettle, and an alcohol stove from TITAN MANIA. He notes that titanium is lightweight, durable, and does not affect the taste of the drink. The entire kit fits compactly into a pouch that can be stored in a camera bag. The author also warns to use the alcohol stove only outdoors due to risks of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire.
