I'd imagine it depends on the type of snow and the type of ice, but if we're talking about (almost) pure water types then snow would obviously melt more readily

That was sort of the point I was going after. You end up taking longer to melt enough snow for coffee than ice - so you burn through more fuel to get the equivalent amount of hot water when scooping in the snow vs chunks of ice. It was counter intuitive.
