For dry camping I use the original Coleman drip coffee maker. I have not had the plastic melt. I like it. It isn't fast but it brews a good pot of coffee. For full/partial hook up camping we use the Mr. Coffee 10 cup themal coffee maker it keeps the coffee warm for ever! I'm not a fancy coffee drinker just have it ready SOON after I get up otherwise Momma is VERY cranky!

We carry two coffee makers and a coffee grinder on our trips...
  
 
Coleman 9-cup percolater
Cusinart DGB-600B Grind and Brew Coffee maker
Mr Coffee Grinder
8-Oclock Coffee Beans Columbia Ground
Bottled water
This covers both camping at sites with hookups and back in the woods... I run my Cusinart coffee maker off 120VAC at camp sites with power or off my Inverter/Generator setup at off the grid camp sites.. The Coleman Perc and coffee grinder is a back up..
Must have my good fresh ground bean coffee or go home...
The trick we learned along time ago is the water you use to make with coffee with. Try a few different bottled water brands and always carry some of that along with on the trips. Coffee will always turn out the same everytime...
OOPS - didnt notice this was an old post. I have two posts that say about the same thing here. Amazing how I keep my stories the same
My Posts are IMHO based on my experiences - PM/EMAIL me

Hi All.
We are not into Fancy Coffees, or Fancy Flavored Coffee or Fancy Costly Coffee Makers either. For 45 years now, we have just used the good old Coleman Drip Coffee Pot. We can use it on the BBQ, or the Camp Stove, or on a Burner in the RV. We think that drip coffee makes the best. Just pick your regular brand of coffee and your all set. We find that most people who use a drip coffee maker like the Coleman Drip Pot, over boil the coffee and ruin it. Use a Coleman or simular brand and make it the right way, and you have a great pot of coffee. We have an Electric Under the Counter Drip Coffee Maker in our Motorhome. I don't use it, we much more perfer the Coleman. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

I'm curious why the aversion to firing up the genny for your morning coffee?
If you are dry camping, chances are, there are not many others around you that you would be disturbing.
We have a Keurig in our motorhome and if we are dry camping, just fire up the generator, turn it on, and in less than 5 minutes, we have a perfect cup of coffee each and every time.
I don't see what the big deal is.

i think you mean "boondocking", not dry camping. dry camping usually means camping in a developed campground that has no hookups.
boondocking is where you don't have neighbors nearby, like BLM land, USFS land, desert land or state forests. therefore firing up the gennie is no problem.
since California state parks have nearly no hookups at their state parks, we have to dry camp all the time. but we still are next to other campsites that would be disturbed if we fired up the gennie, just to make coffee.

No, I mean dry camping, as I stated.
If there are no hookups, it follows that the neighbors probably do not have hookups either, so genset would be the normal way to generate needed electricity.
Outside of campsite specific quiet hours, I really don't see the issue in firing up the genset to take care of normal morning activities, including the brewing of a pot of coffee.
I'm not suggesting to overtly disobey established campground quiet hours, but if quiet hours have passed, I have no issue whatsoever in firing up the genny ... and I don't think that the average campground neighbor would expect continued silence after the expiration of quiet hours.

I don't have an electric coffee pot, but I cannot fire up the generator until I have had my coffee!

Put one quart of creek water in a pan, bring it to a rolling boil, remove from heat. Toss in one or two handfuls of coffee grounds. Set the pan where it will stay hot but not boil.
when it achieves the consistency you like, pour and enjoy. Strain if you must.
Preferred consistencies:
Pits the plating on a silver spoon: close to perfect.
REMOVES the plating: almost there.
Pits a stainless steel spoon: pertnear. (do NOT put it in a tin cup!)
Permanently stains a Corelle cup: Just right!
MT,
You left out a couple of little items, if it won't float an Iron horse shoe, don't touch it, must be made in a old coffee can, and DON'T dump the old grounds out, just add the fresh grounds to the top. 
Thanks,
Don
