You should try a french press. That’s what we use and needs no electricity.

from Wikpedia: Coffee may also be brewed by steeping in a device such as a French press (also known as a cafetière or coffee press). Ground coffee and hot water are combined in a coffee press and left to brew for a few minutes. A plunger is then depressed to separate the coffee grounds, which remain at the bottom of the container. Because the coffee grounds are in direct contact with the water, all the coffee oils remain in the beverage, making it stronger.”

They sell them at ikea for about 12 bucks. All you do is heat your water and pour it into the pot. The grounds are already in there. You let it sit for a few minutes and then plunge it which leaves all the grounds on the bottom. YUMMY!!
