Default Coffee makers?

The thing about single cup coffee brewing is that every time you want
a cup you have to go below, fill a pot, boil the water, measure out
the coffee and pour it all through the filter or press. With an 8 or
10 cup maker you fill it when your watch starts and just run below and
pour a cup when you need it.


Nobody has mentioned the Melita cone. I've used one for years. Put the
ground coffee--a cupful or a potful--in a paper filter in the cone, pour
boiling water through it. Makes coffee as good as that from any drip
coffee maker.

Some one did mention Melita and I was about to myself. That's what we used.

Glenn, you are now talking about being 'on watch' which implies using
this device underway. I don't think that practical from a movement view
and from a power usage view.

Have you done much sailing? I can't see some device with 12 cups (what,
100 oz?) of boiling fluid as something I want to contend with while
underway. I doubt you can pour it into a cup anyway.
