My vote for keurig. We use the big unit at home and the single cup in the RV. I have been using the red insert from BB&Beyond. I use Columbian roast from BJ’s Much cheaper than the Keurig cups, and very good rich coffee.

I am thinking this same thing....our coffee pot in the TT is old and heating element doesn't stay very hot. I really want to get a keurig as we love it so much at home, but they are still so expensive. thought about maybe the portable one that makes one cup at a time, but that is more of a pain.

Yep...when we bought the TT, I brought along the tent-camping chuck box on the first couple of trips. "Borrowed" the percolator and made coffee on the stove. It never went back into the chuck box. It's been a couple of years now, and I've never felt the need for anything different. Well, maybe a bigger percolator...

If you really like gourmet coffee, if you buy dark roasted beans and grind them daily, if you drink it black to get the full flavor, there is only one choice:

Well, I went ahead and did it. Bought a single cup at a time Keurig on my last camping trip. SO GLAD I did. No more fooling with making a whole pot of coffee when we just want one cup when we wake up. And we wake up at different times, so a nice fresh cup whenever needed.
The single cup Keurig is great for the camper countertop. Takes up no more space than a four cup regular coffee maker.

But you have to have teh top on it in a perfect position or the coffee will run down the side and all over the counter. It took a few pots to figure it out right. My wife will not bother with it. We bought a new cheap coffee maker this last camping trip with the normal glass caraffe. If it breaks, oh well, we will just buy a new maker. A new glass caraffe costs more than half the coffee maker price. We were going to throw out the old one, but we put it in storage in the camper for "in case of emergency"...lol
We like the cheap coffee makers because they keep the coffee hot until you turn them off. No need ot worry about thermal. Plus a pot of coffee will not last long between the two of us.
Just a thought, but yard sales and flea markets are great for extra glass carafes. I see a lot of them everytime I go out to yard sales.

I have both an old time perk-pot for when there are no hookups and a cheapo Mr Coffee when there is. I usually make 2 cups at a time so a small coffee pot is fine for us.
Both types work well for us.

I'm not up on what is out there for sale. I didn't drink much coffee until the last few years.
I'm not sure what coffee pot we have, in the coach but it is glass.
I can tell the difference in coffee mad in plastic.
Finding a ceramic or glass and stainless coffee maker seems to be akin to finding the pot at the end of the rainbow.
