A lot of money wasted for a tiny capacity long time to brew coffee maker and then you have to recharge the battery with 110 AC anyway. So what's the advantage and how does this "thing" make any sense???
All you need is a 4 to 12 cup simple cheap coffee maker and an inverter which together cost a lot less than this abortion system and you can brew many cups in 3-4 minutes and do it a min or 3 days or even 6 days on one 12V deep cycle or even a starting battery which is right in your RV and/or tow vehicle. Many 110 AC coffee maker models are available from $10 USD on up and with AC watt needs from 300 watts up to 900 watts. We have several! Can even use a little 300+ watt inverter that plugs into a 12V standard outlet if the outlet has proper wiring or attach the alligator system clamps to 12V storage battery terminals. Inverter output watts of AC only needs to more than the coffee maker input watts.
Been doing this since 1988 starting with our 1st Heart Interface Inverter. Now and since have always had inverters in all our RV's and boats and never had even one battery go dead yet. As soon as you start the vehicle engine or other charger means, the battery or batteries get recharged. On top of this, the inverter has so many other uses for 110 AC needs when off grid.
