That's where I see a big problem - operating it in the open. This
usually involves putting the thing high up where it broadcasts noise
to everybody within half a mile. Just because you want to run a
coffeemaker?

Why not use a quite cookstove and spare all concerned the noise in an
anchorage where quiet it called for? Or do you wish to be viewed as
just another inconsiderate cheapskate asshole who ruins cruising for
everybody else?

Agreed. In forty-odd years of racing and cruising I have never seen coffee
made in an electric percolator. O.K., for convenience we use instant coffee,
but there must be lots of ways to make real coffee without a percolator.
Those Italian aluminum percs you sit on the stove top would surely make a
good cuppa?
