Can anyone recommend an unbreakable Cafeitere for use at sea?

[Windway]

On days at sea when the swell is just too much for my Italian espresso coffee maker to cling to my Origo stove, as it is too small for the pan clamps, I think a Cafeitere is the answer for the morning cuppa. The 350ml size will do me as that makes one good mug of filter coffee. I see Kitchencraft sell a plastic cafetiere with a polycarbonate jug but reviews on Amazon, as always are mixed between enthusiastic and complete rubbish! Which one works for you and which one can you recommend I buy? Thanks

we have a s/s insulated one ( well 2 actually one at home ) from Whittards they were in a sale, keeps the coffee hot for an hr

If you only want one mug of coffee then would recomend one of these - works well and is unbreakable...

Some good links .... must get one of the stainless steel ones.


We had a couple of the Smart-cafe cafetiere mugs same/ similar to one of the links. Found they eventually became very stiff to operate. Greased them with silicone grease but not sure if that was sensible.
With me being the only coffee drinker went back to instant

Or you could consider the 1 cup prepacked coffee disposable cardboard or plastic filter jobbies- fit over the mug and pour. Easy to store. Prolly not good in rough seas tho!

We use this one, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-LeXpress-Cafetiere-Double-Stainless/dp/B000VDBL5E,

This is our second attempt at a SS cafe, the first one had a plastic spout which cracked within weeks. My advice is to go all metal. The one I have linked to is better than our glass ones at home, hardly any powder at the bottom and it keeps the coffee hot for the two mugs each (4 mugs) we get from it. It is also easy to clean on board.

We have one like that as well - I can recommend it without hesitation.

We also have two of the 'insulated cafetiere in a mug' but we tend to just use the stainless one as its so easy.

There's a very similar s/s one in Aldi which a friend of ours is pleased with. Two sizes.

Thanks sailorman, that looks perfect. Interesting that your cafetiere from Amazon looks identical to the one martinaskey suggested, but is less than half the price than the one on offer at John Lewis. Thanks to everyone for letting me know their favourite cafetiere, I am very grateful and know what I shall be buying.

over the side

We have a couple of SS ones. Brilliant!

However, don't pour the grounds down the sink, nor into the wind...

.... don't pour the grounds down the sink ...

Eh!, I do that all the time! Is there something wrong with it?

Not if you don't mind rodding the drain frequently.

I have even blocked the sink at work doing this.

Maybe I should drink less coffee?

If you intend to empty the grounds over the side (as we do), it would be woth checking that the glass jug is captive inside the plastic handle frame. We now have a jugless handle on the boat and a jug on the sea bed in Lochranza. DOH!
