Tiny coffee maker and toaster
Found an easy compact item to make coffee, and I think I found the perfect compact toaster. http://wincrasher.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-small-coffee-side-of-toast.html

Most coffee makers don't heat water to a high enough temp. I can't imagine just how bad a cup of coffee coming out of an RV coffee maker really is. One thing for certain, the water never got hot enough for proper extraction.
At home and in our various RV's over the past 35 years, we've used Melitta single cup filter holders and #4 filters. Just make it into a thermal mug and your coffee will stay plenty hot. I only use one in the RV. At home, I prefer to use old Victor diner mugs which only hold about 7 oz. But on the road, the thermal mug is a better choice.
Hi CSG,
Interesting as some coffee makers Overheat the water (partly depends on time of year, and geography). Most coffee pots are dumb, No thermostat.
Pretty simple fix: Measure the ambient temperature of your tap water, then water coming out of the coffee pot. If not hot enough (about 190-205), use some hot tap water. If too hot, use some ice cubes prior to using the tap water.
This will result in the right temperature.
