When I first set eyes on the handy Cuissential SlickDrip, I thought that this would be the perfect thing to bring on a [camping trip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-craft-coffee), when a morning cup of Joe is just as imperative. It's no coffee machine, but this [portable kitchen implement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kavago-k1) can help make the difference of an improved attitude.

Available in a vibrant red color, the contraption is made of food-safe silicone, giving it the flexibility that enables its adaptable shape. When expanded, it forms a full funnel, capable of sitting sturdily on the rim of your coffee cup and holding a [paper filter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kmini-mate-brewer) and your scrumptious grind inside.

When you're not using the Cuissential SlickDrip it can be compressed into a dense disk. It can then be easily stashed inside of a backpack or stowed away in a drawer.
