Interesting that the mini pot uses so little power. I guess all of the power usage charts need to be updated. :D I usually boil water and then use a pour through filter. That works for me since I rarely drink more than one cup in the AM.
Not just the mini-pot.
We just have a cheap old Mr. Coffee and it's rated at 600w (50amp @ 12v). Never plugged it in to verify actual wattage but very much in line with what the OP found.
100amp-hr 12v battery holds 1200 watt-hr.
600w for say 10min is 100 watt-hr used or about 8% of battery capacity (and this is conservative based on the OPs test numbers).
Obviously, needs to consider what else is running but that's well within the capability of a modest battery bank and inverter.
