To run a "coffee maker" you need electricity. Eisboch is conntemplating carrying
a fairly hefty and cumbersome gasoline powered generator just to make coffee

about the worst coffee possible. I'd forego the coffee entirely if that was my
alternative.

Was surprised to find this.

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.

Now I'll bet that works pretty well Vic, but you should try a French
press, simple the coffee is superb. The most important thing is to get
the coffee properly ground, you need it coarse for a French Press. A lot
of grinders produce not just coarse grounds when set to "coarse" but a
lot of other fine stuff, this will not do, get a good grinder.
