Well, first off the carafe is locked in place in the CCM1000 so it won't
fall out of the maker and it has a lid that has to be pressed to pour. That

With the pour through cones you have to handle a pot of boiling water and
hold every thing steady while you pour it through the coffee every time you
want a cup. Be it 10 oz or 100oz boiling water hurts the same. Been there
done that about 200 miles ESE of Bermuda at 3AM. Good thing I was wearing
my foulies. :-) That's WHY I have been looking for an alternative.


I've lived aboard and sailed for 7 years. I doubt there was more than a
few days underway when I could see being able to brew coffee. It just
doesn't seem to be an issue really - I mean the quality of coffee beans,
etc. If you get something hot or at least not cold to eat or drink,
that's enough. I'm really skeptical that you'll feel justified if you
find a system. It seems to me like gilding a lily. I think you're
thinking too much like being ashore and not how you'll really feel at sea.
