When using an electric coffee maker without shore power, the efficiency is very low. Fuel is burned in the generator, losing at least 75% of the energy as waste heat. Way more efficient to use the heat from burning propane directly to heat the coffee. A thermos type coffee butler will keep it hot for hours.
We have camped beside people who ran their generator all day to keep the coffee warm. The noise gets pretty annoying. The waste of energy in these times of conservation is shocking.
