I am a coffee addict so I have tried lots of stuff and this is what works for me. I have a love hate relationship with stoves and cooking equipment when bike packing. They take up valuable space. At the end of a hard day the last thing I want to do is dick around cooking and then worse, clean up. Then there is the wet garbage issue. Over time I have found I only use my stove for coffee. But then in the morning I don't want to sit around I want to get going. Rather than having coffee I often just have a GU Expresso Love gel. That has enough caffine in it to keep the caffine withdrawal at bay. There is also a product called Caffino or something like that. It is a power that you mix in a water bottle. It tastes like a gritty mocha. I have used it a few times but then you have to clean your water bottle out. These days I debate whether or not to even bring a stove each trip. More often than not I never use it. The more years I do this the simplier my kit becomes.
