Found an easy compact item to make coffee,....
A note regarding the Melitta type cone, collapsible or not:
After placing the filter in the cone and adding the dry coffee, pour just enough water to cover the grounds. This saturates and "opens" up the grounds. That water will also wick up the filter a bit and keeps the sides of the paper filter from collapsing into the wet grounds.
After the initial water drips out, continue adding the amount of water that will fill your cup.
I use the brown filters vs. the white ones because ... no bleach.
Edited to explain: I added this comment because several have complained about the paper filters in their Melitta cones collapsing.
