Just drink tea - tastes nice, unlike coffee, and you don't have to pretend to like it or be able to tell the difference between beans grown 4 yards apart.

And for sensible people 'a cuppa' is completely unambiguous, in contrast to the hundreds of different ways if drinking coffee.

But should it be the Lap sang su Chong or the Earl Grey and does the milk go in first or last or should you take milk and should the water be boiling? Are tea bags acceptable.

Earl Grey's a lovely drop. Used to take a young lady on a bike ride to his tea house, him being a Geordie too.

Teabag, mug, splash of milk, job done.
Life's complicated enough, as Alan Davies used to say!

I fear the beverage police may be knocking on your door shortly

Um, there are loads of different kinds of tea you know - Russian Caravan & a good Ceylon are 2 of my faves.

Even in the "builders" teas, there are quite a number of options.

Leaf tea and no milk for me.

As myself and others have posted in this thread, the stainless steel insulated cafetieres are great. they keep the coffee hot and they don't break. When we had glass ones, I always kept spare glass inserts as they would inevitably crack. Since moving to SS years ago I haven't had to replace one yet.

We were so impressed with the double walled stainless version (a variation on the Dewar flask) we were force to buy another so that we had one at home and one on the boat.

Milk with tea?..... very pre 21st Century - you will be adding sugar next.

On the topic of Aeropress, a mate posted this on his You Tube channel ..

The third hand could never remember but one stormy night after he had struggled up to the bridge I decided to drink the tea without sugar….teawith suave is awful

I've been shopping and settled on one of these. Will try it when I get back to my wreck.
Thanks for all the opinions

Damn. The bass is far too small for my stove, so will need to exchange it for one with a much larger bass

 

[Stingo]

If I light the stove the flames don't even touch the sides

That looks like the job, but two problems

• There's a serious shortage of storage space on my wreck
• I no longer have a postal address here in Portugal

Edit:

• It ships from the UK. Just take a wild guess why that is no longer practical.

You'll find one in most local ferreterias.

A chunk of aluminium or steel about 10mm thick, with a hole of the diameter of the coffee maker base, and wide enough to sit solidly over the burner frame ? Any local garage can make one up.

Don't pick it up after use with your hands !

I expect you will be fitting a chemical bog next or worse a composting one.
