Keurig coffee makers for the RV

Just looking for recommendations for the right model of Keurig coffee maker, mostly it will just be me and my wife using it. So which model do you use / recommend?
  • We've had both a Keurig and Tassimo coffee makers here in the house where power consumption isn't a concern but for camping I stick to our simple Cuisinart coffee maker which draws a mere 550 watts and runs just fine off my 1000 watt PSW inverter. I also dislike how noisy the Keuring and Tassimo units are - not an issue in the house but WAY too noisy in the camper when my wife is still sleeping but I'm up making coffee.
  • I run mine on an inverter so I use the single cup hotel model, 700w
  • Are you planning on using this with an inverter? If so, take a close look at the wattage of the Keurig machines. Many are up around 1500-1800 watts, which requires a pretty hefty inverter and battery bank. (Obviously they don't use that amount of power for extended periods of time, so the total energy consumption is not too extreme, but it's a big surge to deal with.)

    If you're going to be running a generator or connected to shore power, that is of course a lot less of a concern.
  • We have three of them....home, RV and wife's office.
    They are all basically the same. Differences come into play with features and bells and whistles.

    If you are a Costco member, they have a really good full featured model...best price I have found anywhere.
  • Mine is a smaller model than what i have at the house.Fits my needs just fine, size matters so think small.
