Looking for a Truck Camper Coffee Maker. What's everyone using? Wife isn't into French Press. Curious to see what others use with limited counter space.

We also use stove top perculators-though I dont perk. Just boil 10 cups of water in old 20 cup pot, pour it into sst thermos, set basket with 7 scoops of coffee into pot, pour water thru coffee. Have to tap basket occasionaly. when drained slowy pull out basket set in sink. Let pot stand for a minute-slowly pour coffee into thermos with enough left over for a fresh cup- perfect. Repeat late afternoon.

I make Margarets, hers is small, 8 cups to 3 scoops. She uses a glass thermos bottle caraf-same procedure. She say its good I duuno-I use whats left in her pot to rinse mine.

We are boon dockers. Usually (prefer to) camp away from civilization. But we LOVE our coffee. Here's what we use. I love sitting in a folding chair by a stream in the morning light with the soft rumble of the propane coffee maker running in the background. It seems to heighten the caffeine anticipation.

I use the Atomic Coffee Machine. No power required, stovetop. Comes close to making true espresso, and does a reasonable job of steaming milk.

We use a percolator. No shore power needed, no generator needed, no inverter needed, and it doesn't take up any counter space, we pour the coffee into a thermos when done.

We use the Melitta's . All you have to do is boil water in a pot/kettle and pour it into the cone, it drips just like an electric one. When we have guests, we use the 8-10 cup model with the large filter. When fishing alone, i use the single cup model with #2 size filter. ( any filter will really work ) 8 cup non powered drip

single cup size
We currently use either a Mr. Coffee electric 12 cup or heat up water and use instant by the cup. Iโ€™m now thinking that the Melitta 8-cup pour over with thermal carafe (to keep it hot longer) would be a very good option to replace both methods and take up less storage space to boot. Thanks for the tip Bob.๐Ÿ™‚


That's exactly what i just did on my last trip when i took my nephews fishing. Any thermal carafe will work just fine. Glad to be of help.

We use a hamilton beach single serve scoop unit. Uses regular coffee grinds and it is quick. If there is no 110v we use a perk style over the range.
