Question on use of electric coffee maker in RV

Taking my first RV trip in a Class C. Sorting out electrical use items and wanted to see what people recommend for making coffee. I have a small, 5 cup Mr. Coffee but cant seem to find how many amps...

A coffee maker like that is basically a resistor. thus the basic Watts = Amps Times Volts applies

650 watts/120 volts = just under 5.5 amps. or if using an inverter 55 amps at 12 volts. But make it 65 due to conversion loss.
