Should avoid these alloy types. They corrode and are carcenegenic as hell. The stainless ones are double the price
6 cup $48.

Another seabreezer posted a link about these some time ago:

A bit exxy, but sure looks the goods for a genuine espresso.

Wish I had that much space. I will have to settle for the coffee bags.......

I agree but that one pictured the handle breaks off. I've got 2 from warranty. Now I just use a tea towel.

Either way moka pot is great.

The Aeropress is a fast way of making great coffee without 240v. Also does not take up much room.

I see coffee EVERYWHERE

I've got one of these. Makes ok coffee.
a bellman.

If l decide to return to coffee drinking it'll be Turkish coffee or instant.
K.I.S.S.

I like a coffee in the morning, but for me, it doesn't have to be anything fancy.
I like to chuck in a good teaspoon full of Moccona granulated coffee and a bit of sugar in a mug and heat up a mugful measure of milk in a saucepan. Get the milk just off boil and tip it in the mug giving it a good stir.
Noice.

A classic challenge, more so now that we are all becoming coffee snobs. I started with what I call the "Frasercino" which is instant in a plunger. The recipe goes like this - take a small single person plunger, add double your normal amount of instant coffee to the plunger, add half a mug worth of hot water and dissolve, then half a mug worth of milk. Gently push the plunger to the bottom of the beaker and withdraw quickly. keep doing this until the milk thickens and starts to become aerated. Pour and sprinkle with chocolate.

After the "Frasercino" I graduated to a hybrid "Frasercino" using proper coffee from an aluminium stove top and using the plunger to do the milk only.

For the past 4 years I have used an "Otto" machine which I think is now called "the little guy". I have literally made 1000's of coffees with this bit of gear and it is amazing. Lots of beautiful rich crema and it has a steam wand to do milk.
Pros - no electricity needed, stainless steel, cafe quality cup of coffee, has steam wand, it's portable, doesn't break down, looks really cool and was developed by an Aussie guy.
Cons - limited to 2 cups per brew, a bit heavy, expensive.

I use this machine every day at home on a induction plate, and on a gas stove when camping or on the boat.

Google the "Little Guy" coffee machine. www.thelittleguy.info
It looks like the world has caught on. They are out of stock until September.

I am going to have a coffee...

That's just a stainless copy of the original Atomic coffee maker.

You can get insulated stainless steel french press plungers, they work well and are mostly indestructible

Watch some cowboy movies. Coffee and cold water in pot, billy or saucepan. Heat to just not boiling. Tap to settle the grounds and serve. It's what we do hiking and works a treat.

You can simply pour over just off boiling water instead - saves trying to catch the magic moment.

The key is a good slug of good ground coffee.

Cheers

just add to my previous , because I am bit lazy 90% I am using vacuum / double wall /
for a few bugs from eBay.

It's ok got a link and watched a vid ...so how does it heat the water?

You are escalating the coffee problem to unseen proportions.
Y spend a fortune on different contraptions? K.I.S.S.

"Turkish coffee" Google it!

I love all all the suggestions so far. I can not stand instant coffee. I drink my coffee black and vary strong.

I have bought myself an ex race boat 28 ft long, nothing inside but a metho stove and the battery that runs the lights radio and depthsounder. The battery is smaller then some motorbike battery's, and that's fine I'm only going away for weekend.

i looked at a 12v fridge the one I wanted was $900. I asked the salesman how long a large 12v battery ($280) and small solar panel ($120) would power it for he said 3or 4days.

I can get a lot of ice for $900

i realy like the idea of the little guy and the look and would like to see it make a coffee, but at $600 dose it bring it to your bedside on a cold winter morning?
ill give the Turkish coffee a go and get back to you.
