I don't know about you but having a fresh brewed cup of coffee on board while you are fishing is up there with "the better things in life", at least it is to me, anyway. So this winter I was determined to find a good way to do this.
They make a lot of 12 volt coffee pots, and some really suck though. I have heard stories of it taking over an hour to brew a small pot. I guess some work well but I don't have a lot of space. But when I saw the Keurig mini brewing machine...I thought, hmmmm, not 12 volt but I wonder if this will work off my inverter??? I like these kcups for the boat... no grinding, no filters and no reservoirs filled with water to leak or spill if tipped, the mini does one cup at a time and then I can put in away in a drawer. So for 99 bucks I figured, even if it doesn't work I will use it or give it to my kid for school. I just came off the boat...flipped on the inverter, plugged in the pot, poured in a cupfull of water and within a minute or so I had a steaming cup of Joe.... My inverter can handle up to 2500watts and the DC meter drew about 100 amps DC for about 40 seconds then dropped to 50 for about 30 more seconds but it worked. I think the line is fused for 200+ amps so I think it should work out. Lets see if it holds up offshore this season.
