Default Coffee makers?

The thing about single cup coffee brewing is that every time you want a
cup you have to go below, fill a pot, boil the water, measure out the
coffee and pour it all through the filter or press. With an 8 or 10
cup maker you fill it when your watch starts and just run below and
pour a cup when you need it.


We've been using an old camping drip maker for a couple of decades;
something like this:

Boil

the water in another pot. Makes a quart which we put it in a SS thermos
that goes directly to the cockpit except when it's nasty. The SS
doesn't stay hot as long as a glass vacuum thermos, but doesn't break
and we rarely have any left over.
