Just curious, does anyone have a coffee maker on board thier boat. I found one on the web (10 cup) that takes 15 minutes to brew. There are also 1 cup brewers. I am thinking of getting one for my boat.  

Years ago we bought my parents a perkalting coffee pot to take on trips, it worked off of both ac/dc and had a bracket to mount it in the car or use in a hotel room.  I think that it might have blown a fuse a couple of times and created quite a mess when useing in a car don't know about a boat.  It made a couple of trips and ended up in an out of the way cabinet, never to be seen again.  They went back to a their trusty thermos or stopped some where with a rest room.  That was quite a few years ago, so I'm sure they make them alot more gooder now.

BPS and Cabela's has them, or used to anyway, but I've figured a good thermos would do better.  Here's my reasons for not messing with one.  I'm not much of a coffee drinker but do drink a cup from time to time to help stay awake or for something hot when freezing cold on the lake.  When I do drink a cup I prefer if be good coffee.  When you figure the recommended brewing time for coffee is approx 2 1/2 - 3 minutes and at a temp of 200 - 203 degrees from start to finish,  kinda figured anything you got out of one of those things is going to be anything but good. Oh, and that's if brewing one cup or a whole pot.    Another little gee wizz, the BUNN coffee makers are about the only one I've tested that will come close to the recommend brewing.  I've checked three and all three brewed at 200 degrees from start to finish but brew a littel quick if making a half pot unless you do some reengineering, which I did.

While the idea of hot coffee on the boat sounds downright ideal I can't imagine having to mess with coffee, sugar or cream, or what the heck to do with it when I decide to move down the lake.  The last thing I need is a pot of coffee spilling and staining my carpet.  I'll stick with a thermos.

Wolfgang puck makes self heating coffee in a can, No mess, and hot coffee.

I have a 12cup maker that I use in my semi.  It work, BUT is very slow.  It takes 40 to 50 minutes to brew a pot.  Another concern would be the 12 volt plug wireing,  the plug does get VERY, Very hot.

Are you Fishing or on a date with your girlfriend? :-/ When I'm fishing I don't have time to drink anything until its time to move

I use two "tried and true" coleman thermoses, (or is it Thermosi)I mix the cream and sugar in the themos at the house. If I launch at 5a.m., the second thermos is still hot at noon if it has been left alone.
