Coffee and cake on board place different demands on the equipment. The cake must be easy to stow and transport, whilst the coffee pot should be sturdy and hold enough coffee for several people. The two galley aids from Fackelmann and Yeti address these points.

Springform tin with lid for transport and storage
The Fackelmann Deluxe springform tin with spill-proof rim and lid is made of non-stick coated metal and is sealed with a plastic lid. It measures 28 centimetres in diameter and eight centimetres in height. The manufacturer offers a ten-year guarantee; the price is 37.49 euros. The cake can be prepared at home, taken on board in the tin and stored, covered, until coffee break. This saves gas and reduces the time spent in the galley. Further product information is available at Fackelmann on his manufacturer’s website Ready.
Coffee from a French press
With the Rambler 64 oz, Yeti is adding a large French press to its Durasip Ceramic Collection. Ground coffee and hot water are added directly into the jug. The filter integrated into the lid is then pressed down to separate the coffee grounds from the finished drink. The double-walled jug has a capacity of 1.9 litres. The stainless steel interior is coated with a ceramic layer, which is designed to seal the surface and prevent residues and odours from lingering. The Rambler 64 oz costs 150 euros. Further models and product details can be found on the Yeti’s manufacturer’s website to be found.
Book recommendation
5 ingredients is aimed at crews who have to cook with limited space, few hobs and a modest range of kitchen equipment. The on-board cookbook contains recipes for prepared meals, cold dishes and one-pot meals. Advice on stocking up on supplies and possible alternatives for ingredients makes it easier to plan longer voyages.
