The solution for this is to just brew one cup at time with a one cup, Melitta style cone. About 2 minutes You could either use one of the gold permanent filters and just knock the grounds out....or use a filter and dispose of filter and grounds...easy clean up.
Years ago there was a funky coffee shop in Santa Cruz, CA that brewed all their coffee that way (note for those not familar with santa cruz...it is very funky, hippy, surfer place that has had the distinction of having the only socialist city council in the US.....get a copy of the old movie "The Lost Boys" for a feel)
I would go as simple as possible..gravity, no pumps, simple propane/butane/???ane heater.
good luck
