Try using a generous amount of ground coffee in a mug of boiling water. Then use sweetened condensed milk to help the coffee settle to the bottom. Just be careful you dont have a last swig.

Just to weight in: Aeropress is King. I'm a coffee maniac, tried everything from cafetiere to espresso pump. Aeropress is as good as multi hundred $/£ machines and perfect for boat.

I wished I had invented that aeropress...when I went to buy it the store said they can't keep them in stock...so simple, yet so good.

Ah, geko - the sweetened condensed milk...yum!

Add a few drops of rum too

High Heels · 25-10-2009, 13:43

Rum...even better!

- - I might suggest that it is your personal techniques that are yielding the great coffee rather than the machine. However, some machines are down right horrible no matter what your technique.
- - First, good beans - ground - not chopped. Then proper temperature water and finally only the proper length of time brewing that is your success. As with the Brit's and there fanatic addition to proper tea, the temperature of the water and the limit on the brewing time goes most of the way to prevent the acidic build-up.

Osirissail, yea your right on there-apparently boiling water adds bitterness

Best coffee so far is Trader Joe's "Wintery Blend". I stock up on enough to last me throughout the year. Great stuff.

Nothing beats percolated coffee for me. I put it in a Nissan thermos.
