Several possible reasons "why". Need more info.

What inverter?
Is it 1000W peak rating or 1000W continuous?
What battery(s) and how old?
What was the battery voltage before and after you turned coffee pot On?
Was inverter alarm beeping after you turned the pot on?

Though, my favorite solution (and rather bulletproof one) is similar to that of Don Piano's - relieve the inverter from coffee-making duties entirely :)
