Yep...same here. Only problem is we can't find a squat one that won't fall
over. I bring a stainless Thermos from home when I go, make it the way I
like it, not that black hair-on-your-whatever acid bath they drink. The
Big Stanley is unbreakable and keeps coffee too hot to drink for a day.

We use a Nissan Thermos with a handle that fits nicely over the middle
of our double sink:

I found a plastic pourover holder made to fit that Thermos that takes
paper filters. Paper isn't my favorite, but on the boat it makes
cleanup real easy. The pourover method presents no stability problem
on our catamaran, but on our previous monohull I used a French Press
in rolly situations or underway.

For short trips, up to two or three weeks, I weigh out a "daily doses"
into small baggies. A weeks worth gets stuffed in a foil bag, though
for extended trips I've vacuum sealed bags for the freezer.

Don't refrigerate or freeze coffee for daily use because as soon as
you open it the humidity condenses on the beans and begins the staling
process. Freezing sealed beans for long term storage is OK.

If you want to do one thing to make ordinary coffee special, grind it
just before brewing, preferably with a burr grinder, not a
whirly-blade. You can still get a high quality hand grinder, though
