I knew I recognized a gentleman of taste and distinction.
Melita makes a cone and thermal carafe combination which is just the
ticket. Nissan makes a cone that fits a particular sized Nissan
thermos. Both work great. For those with one hull, place the thermos
in the sink and wedge it in with whatever is handy. pour in the
boiling water only halfway up so as to lessen spillage. Great coffe,
no hassle.

This comment haunted me so much I am finally forced to respond. The only value of a "peculator" is
to bash the head of anyone that serves you instant coffee.

Instead of having a Thermos of hot water, why not have a Thermos of properly brewed quality coffee?
One measure of truly great coffee is that it still tastes really good after 6 hours in a Thermos.
My preferred method is a manual drip into a Thermos, but I admit that might be hard in rough seas on
a monohull. However, you can even get a plastic or thermal French Press that would be less
dangerous than making instant.
