A friend gave me a 2000w/4000w peak Coleman Inverter. I hooked it to a 70ah excide battery with some thick jumper cables: good wire connectors to the +/- attached to the inverter for good contact. ...

1500W load is 12.5A at 120V, that inverter would have been drawing at least 125A if not 130A at 12V. Simply not big enough battery AND those jumper cables tend to be rather long along with on the wimpy side (6ga or even 8 ga).
To successfully operate heavy loads you NEED extremely heavy ga 12V wiring AND it must be as short as possible (6ft including pos and negative wires).
As someone else noted, try a light bulb (any wattage up to 100W should work)..
As far as your coffee maker.. can't help you on that I don't drink coffee..
