Well, first off the carafe is locked in place in the CCM1000 so it won't
fall out of the maker and it has a lid that has to be pressed to pour. That
reduces the chance of a spill.

With the pour through cones you have to handle a pot of boiling water and
hold every thing steady while you pour it through the coffee every time you
want a cup. Be it 10 oz or 100oz boiling water hurts the same. Been there
done that about 200 miles ESE of Bermuda at 3AM. Good thing I was wearing
my foulies. :-) That's WHY I have been looking for an alternative.

The thing about single cup coffee brewing is that every time you want a

cup when you need it.

Nobody has mentioned the Melita cone. I've used one for years. Put the
ground coffee--a cupful or a potful--in a paper filter in the cone, pour
boiling water through it. Makes coffee as good as that from any drip
coffee maker.

Some one did mention Melita and I was about to myself. That's what we
used.

Glenn, you are now talking about being 'on watch' which implies using this
device underway. I don't think that practical from a movement view and
from a power usage view.

Have you done much sailing? I can't see some device with 12 cups (what,
100 oz?) of boiling fluid as something I want to contend with while
underway. I doubt you can pour it into a cup anyway.
