To run a "coffee maker" you need electricity. Eisboch is conntemplating carrying
a fairly hefty and cumbersome gasoline powered generator just to make coffee
with an automatic coffee maker. To use a Bodum, you heat the water on the stove,
which on most boats is not electric. A non-electric (or any) percolator makes
about the worst coffee possible. I'd forego the coffee entirely if that was my
alternative.

Was surprised to find this.
Drip using propane.

Here's a couple reviews.

Everybody's got their own coffee preferences. I prefer drip through a
paper filter. The paper must absorb some taste element I don't care
for that is left in other processes, including gold filters.
About the only thing I haven't tried is the French Press, so I'll
probably give one a try just because.
