I use an acrylic French Press I bought for travel. It makes real coffee with only boiling water and ground coffee, no filters needed, no power -- boil the water on camp stove - and a couple years ago bought a BBQ with a side burner that has a flame specifically so we could boil water or heat soup and stuff.
The BBQ would be for any extended power outage, not during the hurricane.
A French Press is so simple. you put water in and put coffee in the top compartment, then you slowly push the coffee part down through the boiling water til it gets to the bottom. Let it sit a minute and you have good coffee. It strains it quite well, though expect a little dark brown powder at the bottom of the cup.
