12v coffee pot recommendations?

Get ready for everyone's favorite way to brew coffee that doesn't use a 12VDC pot.

This has happened before. Reincarnation or deja vu.

^ wrong

The $20 one cup keurig rip-offs at walmart plugged into my inverter

....He didnt specify where the 12v starts


Seriously though pulling 20-50 amps through a 12 gauge wire at 12v is not efficient.

Yea. I been researching all night. Looks like I need to run through the inverter too.

Stop in the store they set them on diaplay. The single cups are usually like 400w give or take.

You could start here.

But if you're on the road check out the Pilot truck stops as they carry a bunch of 12v stuff for the truckers.

Ok won’t tell you about all the other (better?) ways to make coffee than 12V
but will ask,
why do you want to use 12V vs a small propane or butane stove?

Here is a 12V heater https://www.amazon.com/RoadPro-RPBH...rsion+heater&qid=1569172783&s=gateway&sr=8-18

So so reviews. You probably can find the same model, maybe cheaper at a good truck stop.

I have a lot of solar. More convenient than buying cases of propane

If you have a lot of solar, use an inverter with a regular coffee pot. You may lose some efficiencies in the conversion but it sounds like you have plenty to spare.

My propane tank lasts for more than a month and is very efficient and fast for stovetop (percolator) coffee. I do run the generator when I can for making my 12 cups of coffee though through a drip coffee maker. Fifteen minutes and it is ready.

Maybe a bit off topic but talking about making coffee...To properly charge flooded batteries daily you gotta have way more solar than just the typical old amps-out, amps-in theory anyway. You gotta have enough to charge at a serious amperage....25-30 amps an hour for a dual battery bank. In theory a massive surplus of amperage.

So running a 600w load on an inverter for 10 minutes should not make or break squat otherwise you have an inadequate charger (solar array). Especially over a 12v load.

That said a 20lb tank lasts a very long time just heating up water. But i do like drip coffee and understand that.

There is also a stovetop drip coffee maker of which I have one, it is just slower than the percolator or electric drip machine.

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]The electric kettle is good for[/font][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] a lot more than making coffee. I carry one for the times when I am hooked up to shore power, if not, I use a regular kettle on my propane stove. Avoiding single-use gadgets is kind of a life motto for me.

Of course, the most energy-efficient way to make coffee is cold brew.
