Everyone has there favorite coffee and I have had it over a fire/sheepherder style with an raw egg for some of the grounds/electric percolator and ceramic,one of my favorite ways to perk..But now it is a 6 minute Mr Coffee 5-cup and everyone is happy off the Jackery 1000..
They are spendy but for $849 on sale you get a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter/a mppt controller for solar/a regulated 12V socket and all that ads up to 23 pounds total in one handy package..1000 watt hours and a 100ah battery has 1200 watt hours with only 50% useable..
Another reason was power outages and one we recently had..I have like 5 generators but when the power went out,I had no gasoline,used it all in the lawnmower and for saw gas..Lesson learned..None of the gas stations could pump gas..I did have kerosine for our Kerosine lights,so we had lights..The wood stove made cooking food possible but with our stove,you have to get it so hot,it runs me outside..LOL..There was enough gas in my Honda to use one time for the freezer and refer in the kitchen..No electricity for the internet and batteries on our phones were low..It just happened and the TC was our only option if it continued...
As mentioned here,I want my coffee on the go to be exactly the same as I get at home anywhere I am and without having to setup and mess with a generator..These little power stations do that for the way I travel in the hills...
Last but not least,I am always the first one up and don't want to wake up the bear with a generator for coffee so I could say,this Jackery has saved my life and made the days go good without cranky people..LOL..:B
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..
Zactly...that’s why we have French press at home, in the camper, and one at the cabin. No noise, no electricity, just really good coffee in less than 10 mins.
