"I'm using about 900W, 75A with it running and batteries holding at 12.4 V
remote display on the inverter is showing a 50% output which is too high."
The figures for the coffee maker are correct. There is nothing wrong with the inverter or the wiring. What is wrong is that 50% figure with only 75 amps being pulled. Should equate to about 7.5a 120v "output".
Then with the higher watt MW say at 150 amps draw or 15a 120V, the 50 gets to 100 on that remote and shuts things down. So that is what is broken--that "output" reading and shutdown triggered by it.
Also relates to that absurd 3a 120v "output" when the inverter is just in standby. The output reader gizmo is broken.
Can you get a new part to replace that broken thing or do you have to buy a whole new inverter? (If that, IMO get a simple inverter without such added gizmos) Or can you just by-pass that remote gizmo?
