Coffee makers

[Pickygame]

We are debating the pros and cons of coffee makers. We have used filter papers, Pods, Moka's cafetiere's but can't find the perfect combination.
Instead of cluttering up with multiple devices we ideally want one that will make about 1 litre on gas or electric and keep the coffee warm for a long lazy morning

 

[Odd-no-more]

Like you we have tried several makers over the years. We have just got a filter and a vacuum jug, that seems to be ok. Can fill using the electric kettle on EHU or gas when not.

Have had similar problem and hate the result from a plunger cafetière. This makes terrific strong espresso. Amazon c.£15

That sounds awful, stewed coffee, we like ours freshly made. We use Stainless Steel Moka type pots both in the van & at home, it only takes a few minutes to make a pot.

I’ve bought a moka pot for our van, lots of different styles available, I got mine from wayfair.

A litre? I love the smallest Moka which makes about 4 thimble-fulls and is the closest I can get to the continental boneshaker costing about 1€.
My wife does not so we use a large Moka

One of the old fashioned filter coffee makers would suit you by the sound of it. The coffee filters through paper or metal filter into a jug which sits on a hot plate to keep it warm indefinitely or until it dries up.
We have one but I don't know if they're still made.
Edit, there you go

 

[Landy Andy]

Tried a few. This is old fashioned but great. (Get the proper make not a cheepie one)

 

[glenn2926]

Aero press. Just try one. They’re great

I've tried loads of different types of coffee maker and built-up quite a collection in the process.
It's probably down to taste but, for the van, we use a stove-top mock pot. Aluminium may not be as pretty as stainless but I expect they are lighter.

As I just said it's a matter of taste.
I got an Aeropress when they were all the rage. Used it on one trip and it's now in the coffee-maker store in my attic with a life-time's supply of filters. (For sale if anyone's interested).

I have a very small one of these for my espresso.

My wife uses one of these (2-cup model).

Light and take no room up.

We like the coffee from a cafetiere but it is not easy to clean the grounds when camping, don't want to rinse down the drain and difficult to put in the bin. A filter paper is a lot cleaner, we have used the disposable single cup filters but although I'm not an actual eco warrior they have a lot of single use plastic for 1 cup of coffee

 

[Pickygame]

.

Not talking stewed. Lazy breakfast needs to keep the supply hot enough to drink

 

[Landy Andy]

Cleanliness is one of the things I like about the one I now use. The grounds all go into one solid dry clump. The thick aluminium keeps it warm. We’ve got a big version, I think it’s eight cup, but that is eight espresso. We just use two scoops of coffee and that makes two mugs of coffee

We use a dometic 12v filter machine. Its slow but makes decent coffee.
I would buy a nespresso machine for the van but want one that runs on my 1000w inverter

We use ones like that all the time we have one at home one in the MH. We use a stainless IKEA one a lot.

Was tempted by the ikea one. May get one next time

Got 110v one it came with the RV in 04 never used it.

We must have had ours about 15 years and use it every day.

That brings back bad memories of when the mother in law had one and would offer you a cup of coffee that had been sitting in the pot a couple of hours stewing it tasted horrible! Those machines are the work of the devil.
It's like thinking you could keep fish and chips warm for an hour and eat them coffee needs to be freshly made.

Don't use them as we don't want to run the risk of ground coffee getting into the grey waste pipes... but we clearly appreciate the attraction, our cafetiere's are on the go all the time at home.

We use Taylors filter coffee bags in the van but to be honest I'm more than happy with Kenco's instant decaff.

 

[Viennese]

I have had for a long time a cafetiere which is vacuum insulated. I found a 1 litre one on eby - see
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5...0001&campid=5338547443&icep_item=124279094788
That would be nice and space saving!

 

[Sus3v]

What’s a moka?
i use one of these, and advise definitely buy a good quality, not cheap one.
I have three different sizes, but generally use this one in home and van.

 

[G-RMPS]

Moka off grid, and Nespresso on EHU. Plus “instant” gas or electric kettle before proper breakfast.

That’s what we use ... 2 at home, 2 up north and 1 in the van. Nice strong coffee.

Home or away - Can't live without it!!

Had the van painted orange to match it..

Hey, mine came with the posh under the cabinet job. Dint make a bad cup either, used to get Colombian from Fiesta in Texas who primarily served the Hispanic population.

What are they like, I've wondered about them?. Just use maxwell house in the van normally.
