This item was purchased as

This item was purchased as a companion to the Coffee Press, WindBurner 1. 0L. Since the Coffee Press lacks a seal around the circumference, coffee grinds travel past. So, use a coarse ground coffee in the WindBurner then transfer the coffee through the MugMate to your mug.

I have been using one

I have been using one of these daily for years. I always am reminded of a Sthil chainsaw air filter when describing it. Since it is also made in Germany I feel justified. Great product.

Good product. The "wings" on each side are a little short to balance on the rim of my mugs.

Oh yeah!

I bought one of these things back in 90s and still use it on every backpacking trip! It is the bomb if you like your own coffee brew

Works great

Spoon the coffee in, pour the water through and then put the lid on and let it steep. Perfect coffee for on the trail.

Works well!

This works very well, but you have to have a cup that the lips/wings fit over. Otherwise you should just make cowboy coffee.

Love this for home and the field

I bought one of these because I drink a lot of loose leaf tea. I use it at home and while camping. I love that this is so well made and please keep making it. By the way I have seen some comments regarding the tea lid. The lid is where you set the filter after you brew the tea..ie flip the lid and set your basket in it. Just saying

Using it once again

I purchased the MugMate a few years ago. I stopped using it shortly after purchase. I found it easier to make instant. Well, after drinking subpar coffee for a few years, I brought it out of storage and am glad I did. Coffee is so much better. Richer and deeply flavorful. I use coffee that?s already ground, and it does leave dregs. I?ll experiment cutting a paper filter to fit. The MugMate is now included in my backpack.

Coffee while hunting on a mountain top

Nice unit. Lightweight and easy to use. Recommend letting it steep as long as possible.

filter Works great but cap/lid is useless-doesnt fit snap or turn onto filter

Filter Works great but cap/lid is useless-doesnt fit onto filter. I wonder what purpose it serves? I use it at home now for my am coffee. Quicker and simpler way to brew nice dark coffee vs. coffee pot or Kuerig with messy K cup waste issues.

Everyday Companion :')

Such an awesome and essential piece of gear. It goes with me everywhere because of its convenience. Two gripes however, the lid does not stay on very well, so I don't trust leaving ground in there for travel (not saying that the purpose was such, I just do it out of convenience and use a rubber band to secure it). Secondly it is slightly too wide for my Hydroflask (resulting in occasional spills when I have to yank it out and it is slightly too narrow for my Yeti mug so finding the correct mug to fit was a challenge. Still a stellar product.

I will buy this again and again.

on the trail for an easy and delicious cup of coffee, at work because the hospital coffee is awful so I bring my own and have a quick cup.

Great travel and camping/hiking coffee

Love this thing! I'm only worried about breaking the mesh when stuffed in a bag. Because of the wings I can't tuck it inside my travel mug for protection. Seems easy to design a travel case for it to sell separately.

Fresh Brew

This little device is awesome. Fresh coffee in no time at all. Definitely recommend this. I was on a kayak trip and the guide had one of these for our morning brew. Ordered one the day I got home.
