Cam's looking to start a floating Starbucks... too bad he sold the Tayana... it would have made a great barista barge.

1. Buy a generator.
2. Buy a 1000amp hour bank of AGMS
3. Charge fully.
4. Install Xantrex Charger/Inverter...2000watts
5. Buy Krups Coffee Grinder

6. Buy Pur water filter

7. Buy Krups Coffee/Espresso-maker

8. Brew
9. Hoist the Coffee Burgee

Simple!

Is it permissible to use the VHF to call in your order?

Will it be a "sail-thru"? Would one have to anchor anew every time the next person was up to get their order?

Yes...this is a 5 year old thread...but COFFEE NEVER DIES.

I am the guilty one who restarted this thread.

Sure enough, after posting the comment, I noticed Sailingdogs list of rules.

LOL

Sort of like "red right return" or handicapped parking spaces....,
they are just a suggestion.

Not only do the spinners burn the poor little grindings, the grindings are of inconsistant size. Generally small bits are a little more bitter, and large ones more mellow. If you want to control the size and thus the mellowness, youhave to use a burr grinder. My mate found me a perfect hand one at an antique store.

Can you say Tassimo?
And no I am not a rep for them. Just the only way to do coffee now a days. tassimo.com

[camaraderie]

Tassimo is for girlie men and Euros or at least Portagees! This is America!!
I want my 20 ounces of (dare I say it?) FRENCH roast and not some puny little tasse of tassimo. If tassimo is going to succeed here it needs to pump up and super-size me!!

I'm glad the thread got bumped. I'l be delivering my boat north in the spring, and I've been thinking about coffee. I seem to remember using a small aluminum percolator on my prior (solo) cruises. Unless the crew complains, I'll use a larger corning one for this trip.
I drink tea these days.

Coffee beans store better than ground coffee and so I used to have a little hand coffee grinder that worked very well. (For the short stuff I do these days I just grind the beans at home.)

Some of the worlds best coffee houses are in Austria, considering my wife is from there I consider her an expert on the topic of coffee Two votes for the stove top espresso maker!!! We grind the beans with a 120V coffee/spice grinder. Yummy. Italian Stove Top Espresso Makers
