Gene - 15 Feb 2006 03:21 GMT I'm back for some more info!!
Coffeemakers..I'll want a non-electric since I want to cut down usage of electric (I don't want to fire up the jenny for just coffee, though it is almost important enough) and thought you people might have some pondering thoughts regarding them.
So, anyone use them still and which one and would you buy another??
Thanks!!

What could be simpler? A percolator will make more than one cup in about the same amount of time it takes drip one cup through the filter. If you are really lazy, then those "tea bag" type of single coffee servings are pretty decent. I use them while back packing.

I like to use the percolator in my Class B. I set it up the night before and simply light the burner in the morning, lay back and listen to it make coffee while I enjoy the smell.

When backpacking, I use tea. The problem with the coffee bags is that the coffee you get from them sucks. YMMV.
The problem with percolators is the clean up afterward. With the Melitta filters, you just lift the whole thing out and throw it away. The French press also makes tasty coffee, but I've read the coffee includes chemicals that increase cholesterol levels. These don't get through the filter.
From http://www.numarkpharmacists.com/hn/Food_Guide/Coffee.htm
"Drinking boiled or French press coffee increases cholesterol levels. Modern paper coffee filters trap the chemicals in coffee that elevate cholesterol levels, keeping them from entering the cup. Therefore, drinking paper-filtered coffee generally does not increase cholesterol levels. However, paper-filtered coffee has been reported to significantly increase homocysteineanother risk factor for heart disease. The effects of decaffeinated coffee on cholesterol levels remain in debate."

> The problem with percolators is the clean up afterward. You can buy paper filters for percolators right next to the drip coffee filters at a well-stocked grocery store. They're square, have a hole in the center, and hole on each corner. The center hole goes down over the perc tube, fill with coffee, then fold corners over perc tube and cover with metal basket cover.
It does make a difference in keeping the fine grounds out of the coffee. Our coffee pot is a basic 9 cup aluminum thing that sits on any kind of stove. Works fine, cleans easily.

What do you put the filter in? I have one of those 1 cup deals that use a #2 filter and make one cup at a time, but making 6-10 would be much better.

John, Like I said back in October, if your genset is shutting down when the start button is released because it isn't generating any voltage (which the place you took it to -did- tell you). then one of the following is the cause: 1. The control board isn't sending field flash to the voltage regulator 2. The voltage regulator isn't passing the field flash on the the rotor or isn't building up voltage from what the field flash produces. 3. Due to wiring problems, worn/stuck brush, or tarnished slip rings, the field flash isn't getting to the rotor windings. 4. All of the above is ok, but the output windings are either shorted or open.
All of these can be diagnosed with the genset in place in the coach, some basic hand tools, and a meter. If the problem is #1 or #2, it can be repaired with the genset in place by replacing the control board or voltage regulator or repairing connections as needed. If the problem is #3 or #4, then the genset will have to come out and be taken apart a little to find out what the -exact- problem is - but if they're planning on charging 700 for removal and diagnosis, I'd LOVE to know what their hourly rate is - maybe I can use it as justification for raising mine! And if they're talking about removing the genset without being able to tell you that the problem is in category 3 or 4, you REALLY need to find another place to have it worked on.
And then you'll be able to use your normal method of making coffee <g>.

Check out one of the "country" stores such as Cumberland. They should carry the old style hand crank coffee grinders. Mine came from a store in the Lancaster PA. area. I grind my coffee every Sunday morning with mine.

I've never been a tea bag user, either, so I wonder if the brew would be better/stronger if the user were to SQUEEZE the bag immediately after brewing. Then again, that may even be the common technique for all I know.

What could be simpler? Ditto on that, Bob. I prefer to toss the grounds into the hot water and let them steep like tea, since that brings just a bit more coffee out of the same grounds. But the wife doesn't like having one kettle for coffee and one for hot water. And, after a while, the interior of the kettle gets a bit grungy because it is hard to clean.
Hot water, paper filter, coffee grounds. Simple, fast, and makes a good cup of coffee. Important if you only want one cup, or you're the only one that drinks it. I use 2-3 scoops of coffee, so I can easily get a second cup out of the same grounds. The second being just a tad weaker than the 107 octane first cup. And if I want to wait an hour or two to have the second cup, the grounds are sitting there in the little filter stand.

Available in the Camping Section of your friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart.
12V coffee pots are readily available at Pilot, Love's, Flying-J, and other truck stops.
Of course, there's the "old-fashioned way": measure water and coffee in a pot and then boil it for ~5 minutes over a campfire.

Yep I remember back when I was just about 8 or so and our camping was in the back of a Plymouth Station Wagon and my dad would make coffee as you have written, but he put egg shells in it not sure why but the coffee was supposed to be good. Plus when he got it to the right temp he would put in a few drops of cold water and the grounds supposedly went to the bottom. At least that is how I remember it! Of course my remember does not work as good as it used to.

A key thing is to use an inexpensive, un-perfumed facial tissue as a filter. Then there is no cleanup. (it might also work for other types of coffee makers.)

It is a pain to clean after each use, though. How do you use tissue as a filter? Do you completely wrap the grounds in tissue?

I'm back for some more info!!
Coffeemakers..I'll want a non-electric since I want to cut down usage of electric (I don't want to fire up the jenny for just coffee, though it is almost important enough) and thought you people might have some pondering thoughts regarding them.
So, anyone use them still and which one and would you buy another??
I use a French Press. I have a metal one for camping and a glass one for home.
Google french press for info and sources.
Would try that but considering I no longer eat, or call them French fries I'm not going to start drinking frog coffee. >:o

Pumper Hinkle - 20 Feb 2006 17:49 GMT I bought one of the Coleman "Mr. Coffee"-type coffee makers a couple of years back. Wonderful invention. Makes a pretty good pot of coffee and uses the same carafe and filters as Mr. Coffee, Bunn, etc. Only downside is that there is no warmer plate and it is a little large to store. After brewing a pot, I pour a cup and put the remainder in a Thermos bottle. A couple of my friends also bought the Coleman's and are quite delighted with them.
