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.


I use a funnel (because I accidentally threw my Melita cone out), heat
the water the old way and put the coffee in a thermal carafe. If it's a
good one, your coffee will be drinkable tomorrow.

I think the funnel works better than the cone because it fits the carafe
better and won't slip off like the cone used to.

My coffee maker works fine off of my 1000 watt inverter but I would
never do it that way.

I kind of like using the stove. It's far more efficient.
