Anyone know if you can use reg ground coffee with filter for those^^^ machines?

(OS can attest to this) whomever is unlucky enough to wake up first has the obligation to make a pot of coffee over the fire so that everyone else can have it when they get up. Its usually a huge pot and it heats and simmers all morning. I drink it black and its enough to make your hair stand on end if you're not used to it. The cool thing is, every unit has a coffee pot brewing first thing in the morning, and every. single. one. will offer you a cup if you walk into their camp. there's absolutely nothing better than a hot cup of camp coffee- especially when you're shaking the frost out of your gear and trying to get feeling back into your fingers after an early fall night in a canvas tent. Oh man, no kidding. Field coffee is the best coffee. Our ration packs come with a random assortment of instant coffees, cappucinos, hot chocolates, and the whitener and sugar needed for it. Typically 4 or 5 of us will fire up a stove and make a pot of 'brew'; basically, throw whatever you've got in there and see how it turns out. It doesn't matter what it tastes like- when it's cold and sucky out, that's a damned good cup of coffee.

Gross... that coffee is the worst. The whiteners are only good for mixing with the hot chocolate for field fudge. The cappuccino is decent but I rarely had time to cook a hot meal let alone coffee.

Dude, you're gonna be an armoured officer. I've never seen any combat unit do creature comforts in the field like the 'Goons. On predeployment training the Dragoons could generally be relied on to stop-drop and set up a canteen out of the back of an LS, complete with grilled hot dogs. You'll be fat in no time.

And anyway, you simply haven't spent enough time in the field yet to understand just how damned good IMP coffee can be. You'll learn.
