Jetboil IS great. You can make about a liter of coffee in 7 minutes, and the press itself weighs 0.8 oz.
But I also agree with Del that the dump-and-boil (aka Turkish) style works well. Jim in Mo basically makes his own teabags, and that sure helps avoid grit and makes clean up easier. (Great minds think alike, eh?) However, I would suggest using muslin or cheesecloth, which you can burn or bury. Also, they are less scary to boil and drink than nylon, and you are less likely to be caught in the awkward position of explaining why you are rummaging through your girlfriend's nylons (besides which, NO ONE will believe you when you tell the truth). You can buy premade 3"x5" muslin bags on eBay, e.g.
Personally, I don't have a Jetboil. So I just use a muslin bag full of coffee in any old pot. That way, when the post-apocalyptic world runs out of Jetboil fuel canisters, I'll still have coffee!
