We find that hair dryers require generator time.

For coffee we like Melita filters with the plastic cone and the paper
filters. They are cheap and make great coffee, just add boiled water
from some source.


That's my tendency, even at home, because coffee gets old fast after
brewing, even in an unheated thermos, and I hate throwing it away.
But I've found the metering of water through the filter as done by a
drip coffeemaker somehow always tastes better. Same with gold
filters. They don't provide the flow rate of paper through the
grounds. It's all personal taste, and I'm always looking for
coffeemaker that will make a good single *big* cup of coffee at a
time. Might try one of those Larry recommended, but use the paper
filter.
