I don't bring coffee anymore - I just drink water. I don't miss it, but I drink enough coffee at home that I get a headache if I go without for more than 48 hours, so I keep some Vivarin in my first aid kit to prevent DTs. (It's rough being an addict). You might say the Vivarin is part of my breakfast menu on long trips

A breakfast cylinder of Coors Light. Seriously, instant oatmeal & brown sugar chased by black tea with honey (or instant coffee and powdered creamer).

Powdered dried eggs mixed with a few home dried mushrooms, salt, pepper, green peppers, and onions touch of powdered milk all mixed with water at camp in a plastic bag then poured into a lightly buttered outback oven bottom with some grated cheese and salsa on top makes a much better mexican omelet than the FD stuff.

On a short trip, a container of 2 cups Grapenuts and 1/3 cup dried milk, plus raisins and cinnamon. Pour in water to top of container, put the lid on, swirl and shake until milk is dissolved. On a longer trip, Grapenuts are too heavy. 2 cups regular oatmeal, or 1 cup cream of wheat, with 1/3 cup dried milk and some raisins, walnuts, maybe brown sugar. Cook all of it in the pot with a little too much water (say, 3 cups). Never coffee. Wimps drink coffee. Real men don't need artificial stimulation.

A big jar o' paste, pleases every time! Or if feeling fancy smancy then, Nutella.

Coffee, and one of those Pemmican bars. The boyfriend loves a big glass of cold milk, and wants to experiment with powdered milk.... we shall see.

Up until recently I always had instant oatmeal. Just before my last hike I discovered these Quaker oatlmeal breakfast bars. They have all the same flavors as the assorted instant oatmeals and they pack the same energy, but all you have to do is grab one and hit the trail. Hows that for a Quaker advertisment?

instant thai coffee in packets (cream and sugar included), i get them from the company that sarbar works for (importfood.com), really good stuff, doesn't taste like instant at all. you need 2 packets for a "normal" 10-12oz cup though.. i usually have oatmeal or rice pudding for breakfast, or bagels and cream cheese especially if i'm hiking near port angeles

My standard breakfast food now is Bear Creek potato soup mix, string cheese to melt into it and bagel to dip, then I'll hit the coffee. The soup heats me up real quick and it's quite filling. I got the big container at Costco for something like $8 -- it goes a lot farther than the smaller packs in grocery stores selling for $3.50-4. My backup foods are the instant miso soup and oatmeal.
