This group certainly puts me to shame with creativity when it comes to eating on the road. I carry a Jet Boil and use it for coffee and oatmeal. I also have fruit for breakfast. Other than that, I tend to eat the rest of the meals at restaurants.
However, when arriving at a rally, I'll go to a local grocery store and buy fruit, eggs, bacon, yogurt and ice. I don't trust the stability of the Jet Boil with a frying pan, so I take along a small grill. As well, any food not being eaten, gets stored in my collapsible cooler. Having a small, one wheel trailer makes carrying this gear easy.
I grind coffee beans at home, but when on the road, I grind enough for carrying on the trip. I'm not that much of a coffee purist.
In a soft kid's lunch box, I pack my coffee mug, inside my beer mug (of course with no handles). The bag coffee sits inside the coffee mug. The Jet Boil lays beside the beer mug and the molded plastic and inconvenient filter used to go into another case. However in the last couple of years, I have been using a stainless steel, collapsible filter holder. It now sits under the Jet Boil and mugs. Not as sturdy as the plastic version, but when folded flat, much easier to pack. I got this at MEC in Canada. There must be something equivalent in the US camping outlets.

For coffee I use a cone drip filter holder over my coffee cup. The downside to this is my filter holder is molded plastic and inconvenient to pack, but makes a very nice cup of joe.
