To run a "coffee maker" you need electricity. Eisboch is
conntemplating carrying a fairly hefty and cumbersome gasoline powered
generator just to make coffee with an automatic coffee maker. To use a
Bodum, you heat the water on the stove, which on most boats is not
electric. A non-electric (or any) percolator makes about the worst
coffee possible. I'd forego the coffee entirely if that was my
alternative.

My favorite coffeemaker, ashore or afloat. Uses 600 watts off the inverter
for about 2 minutes per cup. Uses NO FILTER PAPER, but has a gold plated
ultrafine metal filter that's permanent and washes very easy using little
water. Just dump it over the side for the crabs and shrimp...only spent
grounds. Everyone gets a fresh cup of coffee, no matter when their watch
starts with NO WASTE. Very small footprint, too, on limited counter space.

about $12 on several websites Google finds....even the nice thermal cup
comes with it, but any cup will fit under it.

Zero Propane, very little house battery AH load, no genset necessary. If
you want to make 5 cups, use 2 tablespoons drip coffee for the first cup
and simply add one teaspoon for each additional cup until the little filter
is half full of grounds, then dump it and start over. It uses NO POWER to
store heated coffee as it's unnecessary making every cup fresh.....

AND NO GLASS TO BREAK FROM GODDAMNED FRENCH PRESSES!
