I like to always have a cup of coffee around to drink. When camping I make up a large 10-cup or more into a Thermos Carafe. This keeps the coffee hot all day for me.
Most often I am running my 2KW generator each morning allowing the on-board converter/charger recharge my battery back from its 50% Charge state to its 90% charge state. This is what my planning of what appliances and 12v and 120VAC items we wanted to run I the one day/night run off our batteries. STarting each day/night run off my batteries does us real good making it until 8Am the next morning when we are usually allowed to run our 2KW Generator due to most places we go to have generator run time restrictions in place.
My Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffee maker only needs to run from my generator for around 5-mutes to brew up a full pot of fresh bean coffee... Only taking five minutes grind and brew time it is also very easy to brew up a second pot of coffee in the early evening time frame.
I am hearing alot of folks are having good luck using the Keurig single cup brewing when they need a cup of coffee. I may have to look into something like this running for a very short time period off my 90% charged state batteries...
I am having good luck with my Cuisinart grind and brew coffee making however and when using the same brand of bottle water we get our same great coffee taste we like just about anywhere we go...
My backup coffee maker is using the old Coleman Percolator over the stove top and grind up my coffee beans using a portable Mr Coffee grinder. Using the same brand bottle water all the time almost works as well using my Coleman Percolator as well...
