What I do on the boat is boil the water in a kettle on the stove and
then use one of those Melita paper cone filters that sits in a plastic
holder, and just brew right into the cup. Then it's very easy to dispose
of the paper and grounds directly into the trash bag. The plastic holder
that holds the paper cone is easily rinsed off for next time.

From an old coffee machine that died on me I retained a conical plastic mesh
filter that is exactly the size and shape of a folded filter paper.
It fits my new machine and only needs to be rinsed under the tap to be ready
for further service.
Beats putting soggy filter papers into the trash bin.
