>    Yuban coffee in cans is quite good....but the cans are made from
cardboard.   Probably not so good for the stove.  I just toss the bread
right on my stove....make sure the grill has a chance to be hot enough to
clean off the germs.   Simple is good, when it comes to van camping.   And
the toast tastes just fine, along with the canned coffee...There really is
a huge difference between Yuban and say 'Folgers or some of the other
brands, though.
