In all this, good old instant coffee is a lot more handy and easier to
make when you need to rush below to grab a quick cup of coffee. The
body doesn't care. It just wants the caffiene.



Here in the South, we'll do ANYTHING to keep from lighting a terrible cabin
heater using propane, especially for heating water for coffee. The amount
of waste heat making the already hot cabin even more unbearable from a
running propane stove. Percolators, here, are used to make pots of BLOODY
MARY, not coffee...(c;

The little single cup coffeemakers produce virtually no waste heat to add
to the unbearable cabin heating because they heat so fast and have such a
very low thermal mass to cool once the cup has been made. The whole stove
top is hot heating a quart of water....for a long time after the pot is
gone!
