It turned out to be far too messy in the trailer. Using a cone drip system is where we are at now. I am considering upgrading my inverter to accommodate my espresso machine but may try this first.
I am intrigued by this coffee maker as it is essentially a French press that can be easily cleaned. This has the highest rating for alternative coffee making systems at the "Coffee Geek" site and is reported to make excellent coffee.

It is not a big deal but if you want your coffee to be as good as it can get I would suggest a metal filter, as paper filters absorb some oils from the coffee that add much flavor. Amazon has the maker ($26) and a reusable metal filter ($12) with free shipping. Here are the links.

That's what we have. Good to know about the metal filter! We've been using that coffee maker for over 6 years and would never go back to another type. It's super easy to clean out, all you have to do is rinse off the bottom after you push the grounds out. It makes great coffee, and it's quick. All you have to do is boil some water and pour it in.
