Not all women are high maintenance. ๐ Besides, an old-fashioned drip coffee maker uses much the same principle as an automated drip coffee maker, except 1) it doesnโt use or need a paper filter of unknown purity, 2) the water is probably closer to the 195 to 200 degrees generally recommended as ideal for making coffee when it passes over the grounds, and 3) the water is fed through the grounds by gravity, not pumped to the top by steam.
Life is full of choices. If I had no inverter, like the OP if I am reading correctly, pigs would fly before I would go to the trouble and expense of installing and wiring an inverter for the sole purpose of making coffee. I have a large inverter, and I still choose to make coffee with a coffeemaker like that shown below. Others may make a different choice.
Instructions on using an old-fashioned stovetop drip coffeemaker for the uninitiated: 1) set a kettle with about 1.5 quarts of water on to boil, 2) place the filter basket, here combined with the water reservoir, top right, on top of the pot, top left, 3) measure ground coffee into the filter basket, 4) place the water control plate, lower right, on top of the ground coffee in the filter basket (other coffeemakers have a separate water reservoir which goes on top of the filter basket), 5) pour boiling water into the reservoir until filled to the level for the number of cups of coffee you want โ the one pictured will make 8 cups, 6) place the lid, lower left, on the top of the water reservoir, 6) wait a few minutes until the water drips from the reservoir, through the grounds and down into the pot, 7) remove the filter basket and reservoir, give the coffee one stir, place the lid on top of the pot, pour, and enjoy. Note: the coffeemaker does not go on the stovetop while making coffee โ this is not a percolator โ the coffee never boils.
To the OP: Look at the label on the coffeemaker. It should say how many watts it draws. If you want to do an inverter, you will need one a little bigger than that. I would go 20% or 25% above the coffeemaker draw in sizing an inverter, simply because I donโt like running one at more than 80% capacity. I expect you will find you need an inverter of at least 1000 watts.
