Making coffee

with electricity

Electric coffee makers are possible, but are best used when connected to shore power.

They use a surprising amount of power, particularly for boondockers:

Small drip pod
avg watts 740 1200
inverter ineff. 74 120
total watts 814 1320
Amps (W/13) 62.6 101.5
Ah per 5min use 5.2 8.5

To compound the problem, coffee is usually brewed in the early morning when batteries are most deeply discharged. This early morning load is bad enough for an MPPT-charged system but it hamstrings a PWM-charged system (for reasons explained here).
