Favorite Coffee? Prep Method?

[getlostonpurpose]

I've noticed there's a good number of active cruisers and liveaboards on this forum. I've also noticed in my couple of years out here that many of us are HUGE coffee drinkers. I barely touch the stuff when I'm living ashore but on the boat I crave it. I make it so strong it stains all my cups. I use one of these to make coffee



Well, mine's aluminum, a lot less fancy, and has a plastic filter (I got it in South America). But it's the same basic concept. Sometimes I fill half the filter up with ground coffee so I can get it nice and strong. It looks soot black in the cup. I've also got a French Press on board and
I use to have a 110v percolator (Mr. Coffee) which I stupidly left in Ecuador. I've seen expresso machines on boats before.

One of my favorite things in the world is crawling up into the cockpit for a 2am watch with a fresh cup of coffee in my hand. Black with a teaspoon of sugar.

My favorite coffees so far are Jamaican Blue Mountain, Cafe Gardella (from Ecuador), and good old Dunkin' Donuts (I brought a big bag back with me to the South Pacific). I loved the yellow and black bag from Panama and several other Panamanian and Costa Rican coffees. I buy whole beans and grind em fresh on the boat.

Where'd you find your favorite coffees and how do you make it? What do you think of those countries where Nescafe is the only choice in restaurants?
