My grind and brew CUISINART DGB-600BC takes right at five minutes of 120VAC run time to brew up a 10-cup karafe of hot fresh coffee made from fresh ground beans...

I do the same 5-minute run time once it starts perking using the propane stovetop and COLEMAN Camp style percolator for the back-up method for making fresh coffee. I use a Mr Coffee 120VAC Coffee grinder running from my Power Inverter to grind up the coffee... After the coffee is perked I will pour it up into my Cuisinart Thermos Karafe
Its not exactly the same taste we enjoy from using the CUISINART Coffee maker but pretty darn close.
Here again using the same brand bottled water is probably the real trick to get the same coffee taste all the time...
