The only method that I don't recommend is trying to use a 12 volt coffeemaker.  Everyone I've ever known who has tried one, and every review I've ever read, says that they take way too long to brew a pot of coffee.

Considerations in Making Boat Coffee

Before looking at the various possibilities for making coffee on a boat, let's first ask a few questions.  The answers to these will help determine which system is best for your situation.

How much coffee do you need to make at a time? A typical ceramic mug or insulated cup holds 12 to 16 ounces, while most coffee pots are labeled in 6-ounce cups (a few consider 4 ounces to be “one cup”).

Is electricity available and are you willing to use it for coffee? Your marine engine performance parts specialists understand that electric coffeemakers typically draw 800 watts (more on initial start up) and so won't run off the small inverters that you plug into a cigarette lighter.

Will you primarily be making coffee at a dock, at anchor or while underway? Some methods will make coffee in almost any conditions, while others are best only in calm waters.

How long are you going to want to keep your coffee hot? Will you have a cup or two in the morning and that's it, or will you want to have another cup hours later, perhaps in the middle of a watch?

No Electricity Needed:

• Instant Coffee

• Aeropress

One safety issue:  with any of the stovetop methods, you really need a gimbaled stove and pot restraints to boil water if the boat is moving at all – the dangers of a pot of boiling water tipping or sloshing are just too great.

Espresso drinker?  I'm not, but several readers are.  Check out the espresso makers they like.

The verdict? Your marine supplies New Orleans professionals know that they actually taste good. The cubes come in packs of four–two cubes equal one cup of coffee. I actually ate all four at once, as they have a sugary coating that makes them taste like coffee ice cream.

Nootrobox, the company that makes the cubes, says each cube has 50 mg of caffeine, and is supplemented with Vitamins B6 and B12, plus 100 mg of L-theanine–the active ingredient in green tea.
