You can do short runs, but it should not be the only thing you do
The generator needs longer runtime to warm up and remove moisture etc.
30 minutes one a month is for a generator in storage
The more short runs you do the more often you need a good run to dry it out
Say one a week for at least an hour
It takes my coffee maker 10 minutes to do make a 10 cup pot
What are you doing (1) cup at a time
I assume you are drinking more than one cup per morning, just leave the general running until you are done with breakfast and coffee your batteries and generator will stay healthier
