How low are the existing batteries come morning?
A 600w coffee maker should pull around 50amps for maybe 10min for a total consumption of around 8.5amp-hr. That seems quite reasonable off a 200amp-hr battery bank unless they are borderline covering the overnight consumption.
As previously mentioned, mixing different battery types (doubly so with different ages) is not recommended.
Usually low to mid 60% in the morning before the panels start to receive lights. I'm told that AGM batteries shouldn't be discharged more than 50% so I'm using 100amp-hr useable capacity in my back of napkin calculation.
