I am Moving to Solar
Started to install my solar system today. I have a Morningstar TS45 PWM controller. It is installed and wired up. I have 3 Solar Cynergy 120 Watt panels. I did manage to get one installed late today. ...

How well does this behavior and battery/inverter meld?
I noticed that. With the generator running, it was drawing it down quite a bit even when I wasn't brewing. But it does deliver a single cup, and many thereafter, quicker than a drip coffee maker (I'm impatient and have conducted speed tests :)
My "regular" coffee maker is a BUNN that keeps the water hot 24x7 so it can brew a full pot in under 3 minutes. It beats the Keurig in that regard, but sucks down a lot of juice as well.
Maybe I'll get a regular old drip coffee maker in the RV. Or a smaller Keurig.
We have a Bunn at home and I'm taking it with us next time. I can easily keep the water hot over night and by shutting it off when I make the first pot in the morning, I can delay reheating the water until the sun is up. It also makes it silently which is good because I get up at the crack of dawn and Honey doesn't.
