Ok, so I have managed drip coffee with a Mellita system that drips directly into a thermos. No mess, great coffee. But now my goals are higher: latte, cappucccino, etc. I got a hand held milk frother for Christmas that will do the milk. Any ideas how to make the espresso on board. No shore power allowed.

Lots of stovetop ones out there...
that's what I use and have used on many vacations in Europe. Link below to the kind that I use. Very common in most stores.

Don't Give Up on the Melitta Filter System
It sure is that time of year when coffee really helps to keep one going. At least the days are starting to get a little longer, or so they tell me. Now back to coffee. Pardon me, but I'm not sure that going from the Melitta filter system to espresso is necessarily setting your goal higher; but maybe, shall we say, just a little different? The coffee bean grinder/filter sytem is really a good one and I'd recommend not giving up on it just yet. I've tried the espresso stuff but went back to just good old black coffee - no cream added but drink with something like toast and jam in the morning, say, or cake in the afternoon.

From the USA Today, December 20th. Edited by me. Beginning Jan 2 consumers can buy a 10 ounce container of Wolfgang Puck gourmet latte at the store and heat it by pressing a button. No electricity. No batteries. No appliances, no stove top stuff. How does the can do it? A single step mixes calcium oxide and water. It heats the coffee to 145 degrees in six minutes and says hot for 30 minutes. The coffee in its recyclable, single-serve container will retail for about $2.25. If you are not interested in this item, I could tell you about canned mintinis! My best to you all, Les
