2nd best use for a hitch besides towing your boat to the ramp. Maybe you could rig a fan blade to the crank & whip up a batch of margaritas on the way to the marina.

 Suzie, I use a stainless steel insulated travel mug/coffee press I bought at Starbucks.

OK, Frank found the "manly" 2-stroke blender. Here's the next best thing for us power tool guys: a cordless drill blender attachment: http://www.boatblender.com/.

Just ordered one. This may be just what the doctor ordered. The Admiral loves her margaritas thick & icy. The crew (kids) will love slushies on a hot day. The Captain loves it when the rest of the crew is happy!

Doug which blender did you order, the hand crank or drill? Let us know if it was worth the investment after you fire up the first round.

I saw that Coleman coffee maker, sounds like you are happy with it, how slow is slow? This it?

and it works sitting over the single propane burner?

Bought the drill model. Tried the hand cranked version once and it barely worked. Also tried a "D" battery version that didn't work at all. The gas powered thing is pretty cool, but not very practical for only making one or two drinks. I'm hoping the drill thing works well.

Based on the max speed of most drills (compared to blenders), I wouldn't get my expectations up too high... Now, about that 2-cycle unit: Nothing like a little unburned, atomized oil and oil smoke with your margaritas--brings back memories of wafting clouds from the 225 hp outboards all around me in my boat club...

Another vote for the French press, Suzie. The Princess will heat water in a hurry, and if you get the insulated stainless steel press (Campmor, $30) it'll keep your coffee hot for several hours. Robin and I also have a stovetop espresso maker which works very well -- that too is available from Campmor, for around $17.

Regarding the Coleman drip coffee maker, seems like it took about 20 minutes to make the pot, but I did not really time it. The position of the coffee maker over the flame seems to effect its performance. The coffee was good. Keeping the coffee warm after it is made requires a thermos or insulated container, as the flame is to be extinguished after the coffee brews.

That vortex blender is a little less pricey at Campmor:

That probably wrapped. If you do a search from their home pae it turns up in a flick.
