 [[https://amzn.to/2J80jIK|Pour-over coffee makers]] are cones that hold a filter and grounds.  Hot water is poured over them usually in a few doses.  [[https://amzn.to/2TolXxr|Melitta]] is the most famous one.  They are typically made of unbreakable plastic and are relatively easy to clean.   [[https://amzn.to/2J80jIK|Pour-over coffee makers]] are cones that hold a filter and grounds.  Hot water is poured over them usually in a few doses.  [[https://amzn.to/2TolXxr|Melitta]] is the most famous one.  They are typically made of unbreakable plastic and are relatively easy to clean.

 +===== With electricity =====

 +Electric coffee makers are possible, but are best used when connected to [[electrical:shore_power|shore power]].  They use a //lot// of power, particularly for [[camping:dispersed|boondockers]].((https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/asset/document/ENERGY_STAR_Scoping_Report_Coffee_Makers.pdf))

 +To compound the problem, coffee is usually brewed [[electrical:12v:charging#bulk_stage|in the early morning]] when batteries are most  [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|deeply discharged]].  This early morning load is bad enough for an [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#mppt|MPPT]]-charged system but it hamstrings a [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#pwm|PWM]]-charged system (for reasons [[electrical:solar:pwm_tweaking|explained here]]).
 +
 +If you run a [[electrical:generator|generator]] in the morning, that is a great time to use an electric coffeemaker.
 +
 +Heating the absolute minimum amount of water needed is a good way to conserve usage.  One option is a 12v hot water bottle such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JSOOD6Q
