One does not make real coffee with BOILING water BUT one does with teaFor the the swell or the wake of a passing boat to distribute the near boiling water and coffee grouts around the cabin!

YM ran a comparison of different sources of coffee but didn't rate the bags. As I've said in another thread, I think that was probably because they did not palpate the bags sufficiently. They need a bit more persuasion than teabags...

I like my cwoffey fresh. In 45 mins if i feel like another cuppa I'll make another cup.
If I want it to taste lip burning hot for an hour and have an eau de cuppasoup about it, I'll put it in the thermos mug. Most of the time I just want a good cup of coffee in the morning so it goes in a proper mug and gets cold at a normal rate.
+1. The Aeropress is the only thing i use now, great bit of kit.:encouragement:

Agreed - they take along time to brew. I was going to say that you need to squish them about a lot, but I'm going to palpate them from now on...

I'll stick to squishing them. Incidentally they are great to use in a Cafetiere, no mess to clean up after use.

are you the same heathens who eat Bacon Grill and Fry Bentos pies?
We have instant coffee for on-the-go (Milicano is quite good, but I don't mind gold blend style either), but otherwise make fresh in espresso pot like this (still can't figure out pictures) - http://www.millyskitchenstore.co.uk...t-21958.html?gclid=COSrsKn9_bwCFYt9OgodcV0AXw

It occurred to me that I might have been unjustly disrespecting the Fray Bentos pie...but I Googled the name and felt immediately justified: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1527238
"...the correct way to eat them is straight out of the tin, on your own, preferably sobbing in front of a one-bar heater."
Hmm, that's the life I want.

well, as it happens, over on the ECF most of us know a pair of genuine gourmands who -under the right conditions - positivlely relish a Fray Bentos pie with TINNED potatoes!

Ah. I think that phrase covers all manner of mental & physical derangement. In college years, I distinctly recall becoming so inebriated, I keenly cycled 5 miles to get a doner kebab.
Only the once, though. That's what one goes to college for - learning important lessons.

Depends on the tea. Black tea, yes. Green or other, no.

To be honest, I have no strong opinions on how coffee should be made, except it should be made strong. (There's nothing worse in life than watery, insipid coffee, don't you find?)
I've made coffee aboard with filters, disposable individual 'prepack' filters, cafetierres, and enjoyed them all.
By the way, whatever happened to percolators? Seemed the height of sophistication when I were a nipper, but they seem to have disaooeared off the face of the earth.

+ another several. We are on our second (You can rescue the first from just off Belle Isle if you can find it. (The handle came off as the grounds were being emptied overboard; you'll have to make your own handle if you find the rest of it, we threw the handle away.)

They have become the preserve of the 'faded opulence' brigade. The people who would have used a perk now have espresso machines. The trouble is the onboard inverter doesn't like the surge current as the pump starts up ;0)
(In truth, the first cup is fine, then it starts to taste like American coffee. Ours is relegated to emergency backup for when the coffee machine at work packs up)

Good coffee?
Use a stainless-steel cafetiere (twin-walls retain heat, and its unbreakable on board).
Half-fill with boiling water to pre-heat.
After a minute, tip water into mug to pre-heat that.
Dose cafetiere with your favourite ground beans (I'm not going to wade into that one!).
Fill cafetiere with hot (no longer boiling water) and stir.
Leave to brew for a couple of minutes or more, with the plunger on top to retain heat.
Stir and gently plunge down.
Pour.
Add milk and/or sugar if you wish to (coffee fascists can do it their own way).
Drink.
Go to sea.
If its calm/moderate at sea, make another one later.
If its moderate/rough, drink your favourite choice of instant (or better still just drink tea).
If its rough/very rough drink whiskey (50:50 single malt and still water).
If its phenomenal, drink whiskey (50:50 single malt and seawater).
