Electricity for a coffee maker is about the worst, since you can make far
better
coffee "by hand," either with a manual drip into a Thermos, or with a
French
Press.


If your boat has a propane stove, then making coffee by boiling water on the
stove is a great way to go.

If your boat has an electric stove (which many boats do) then boiling water
on the stove uses a LOT more electricity simply because the heat transfer
from the stove is no where near as good as a coffeemaker. Besides, you
can't run the stove off a typical inverter so you have to fire up the
generator (if you have one).
