Mine is a small mokka/Turkish coffee pot with a removable handle. On a recent trip, someone bought a portable espresso thingy and it was a really nice alternative to the bottom-of-the-shelf cheap instant coffee we had otherwise. But to be honest, non-terrible instant coffee is fine for me, just don’t get the ultra cheap crap.
At the end (or rather beginning) of the day I settle for “hot, caffeinated, does not make me want to spit it out”. I’d rather drink the shitty cheapest possible instant coffee on a cool trip with nice people than the other way round.

There are some surprisingly decent instant coffees out there nowadays; a fancy third-wave roaster in my city even does instant now.
