I stumbled across the Empire Kar-n-Home 12-v/110v drip coffee maker on Ebay while searching for a good price on a 12-volt coffee maker for my truck camper. It's perfect for boon-docking or for modern camp sites with hookups.
I'd say mine is circa 1970 and includes the pot, electric plug that converts to 12-volt, 4 acrylic cups, containers for sugar and powdered cream, spoons, and a weird mounting plate so you can attach it to your dashboard (weird).
It makes perfect coffee, but 12-volt does take about 30 min.
