Ack, I was scooped by a faster poster  . I was looking up Milwaukee ones first but they were no longer listed.
Who needs a generator when you can use your drill battery?

Nice ! I need a new coffee maker I can leave in my camper. Less stuff to pack in and out is what I'm aiming for this year. It looks sealed up well and haven't had any mice issues...yet, but I'm sure a couple mouse turds in the coffee pot would ruin my morning coffee

That may just make it more valuable.

Do you own one of the makita models? I have been wondering how hard they are on batteries. Never found any listings of how much a battery would brew (never looked that hard really).
For job site lunches I have always thought a solar grill would be neet. Add food on your morning coffee break. Have hot lunch on site (little pricy however).

What ever happened to boiling it in a pot and straining the grounds through your teeth?

That's what I have been doing up until now, but for some reason IncrediGirl doesn't want any coffee after I'm done straining out the grounds... 
But yeah, for camping, we've been using those little Starbuck's powdered pouches. If we're with the In-law's and we have hookups, my MIL has a little percolator.
And sometimes I take along my old Tassimo.

I use one of the Coleman machines that sits on your burner in the trailer. No generator needed.

I don't own it use makita, too expensive and they aren't right for my line of work, but here's a link from the makita product page ( http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Mod...x?Name=DCM500Z). I was off according to their literature but who drinks a 5oz coffee?

Heated plastics emit toxins, that is a fact. We go out of our way to avoid any plastic but especially will not eat or drink anything that has been in contact with heated plastic. Today the population is full of Cancer and other diseases from a modern lifestyle. We use a good old school peculator. Do some research but here is an interesting link.

I fully agree with trying to avoid heated plastics, however many of the old perk coffee pots had Aluminum coffee baskets in them, and aluminum has been shown to increase chance of Alzheimer's, so unless it is all stainless or enameled steel, it may not be a better choice.

We have a 30' trailer, often with full electrical, but at the very least have a generator...I still use this:

Yup, that looks like a good one! We use a similar one (the non-perk variety) for making tea.

How do you like it so far? I've been eyeing those.
As you can all tell, I really, really really enjoy my coffee.

Best coffee maker for camping?
Aeropress
/ End thread
Seriously though its the best, only down side is that its only for single servings. But camping or home, it makes the best coffee. Not to mention it's great for any style of camping (RV Glamping to backwoods backpacking). It's lightweight, easy to use, no electricity required (just boil water). Pack the aeropress, multi-use kettle, ground coffee, and you're good to go (dont ruin great coffee with milk and sugar).
A close second IMO would be a french press.
