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

10 cup maker you fill it when your watch starts and just run below
and pour 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.

I mentioned it! :-)

I'm not a coffee drinker but my wife likes her French presses. After
I killed 2 glass ones, she bought this s.s. insulated one from Starbucks.

Pouring hot water goes straight into it, and tilting isn't that big a
deal on our catamaran. Keeps coffee hot for about 2 hours but never
seems to last that long with only her drinking it...
