Making coffee while camping?

I just looked up the Aeropress and like that idea a lot more than a regular french press. It seems less messy.
I have to take issue with T.G. on the 30 seconds though. I count the time from turning on the burner to sipping that first wonderful, glorious, life bringing, eye opening, fog clearing sip. Then, with a french press, you have to clean it all out to get the next press going.
I still use my french press from time to time. With my wife and me it takes a full four mugs to start us going. She doesn't even get up without a mug in her hand.

I actually covered that when I said boiling the water and such all took the same amount of time.

If you use the "inverted power method" then it's about a 1-1:30 brewing times. Clean up is still the same though - just a few seconds.
