No... Not how to make coffee, or even what to use.
In both out camper and our cabin, we use your basic, $20 Mr. Coffee 12 cup coffeepot. It has no timers or electonics, just a simple on-off rocker switch.
But one thing I added was a remote control outlet
When we go to bed at night, we make up the coffee for the next day, and turn the pot on, but leave the remote outlet off. I hang the key fob on the lamp by the bed. When I wake up, one of the first things I do is press the 'ON' button on the key fob. This turns on the remote outlet, and within a couple minutes, you can smell the coffee brewing.
This arraignment works for us better than one on a timer because we never know what time we are going to wake up. Some days its 6:00am, some days 7:30.
You can get the remote outlet off amazon for like $18 bucks here

or at any Home Depot or Lowes. Make sure its rated for 1000 watts. There are some cheap 300 and 600 watt models out there that wont work with a coffeepot.
