Coffee on board...

[Swimmer]

Thats why I get one just like the big lug above this post before I start every day. The Keurig is a great deal. You can order the small single serving containers on-line through W.B. Mason also. Maybe even order direct from Green Mountain coffee in Vermont.

And they have hot cocoa and good hot tea Kcups too so you can easily keep a bagful of sealed kcups on board all the time ready to go... I wish they made a 12 volt system but this works thru the inverter.

I go fishing from time to time with a friend who likes to cook hot meals while fishing...I'll tell you when he hands you a hot Panini 60 miles offshore it tastes reallllly good. He has actually roasted a whole chicken in the oven and the smell was killer. It is hard to fish and not think about food!

Why does hot food taste so much better when you are on a boat?

SM, do a stint on a big comm boat with a good cook.
You've never eaten so well in your life.

Goosefish can back me up on this.

Don't laugh, but I bought the NewWave oven for weekends in Cutty, or OB. Up way to late one night and the infomercial got me. It actually cooks a whole chicken really well. Between that, the microwave and the rod holder grill I pretty much cook anything. That stuff is only on the boat for when entertaining with the family, not regular fishing.

FF taught me a trick if do the thermos thing.
1st, boil water as hot as you can get, fill thermos with that boiling water and let sit for a while so the thermos pre-heats.
Brew coffee, drain the water and fill with coffee.
I imaging some thermos are better than others also.

This is the trick for sure. Went Ice fishing Sunday, made a Nissan full of coffee at 5 AM and was hot, not warm, hot, at 2:30 for my afternoon cup. BTW it was simply sitting in the sled and I'd say it was 30 or so ouside.

I boiled water in the microwave, poured it in, sealed it and dumped once the coffee brewed. I also heated the milk so it didnt cool the coffe at all. Makes a huge difference, for an extra 2 minutes of work.
