Looking for a quick brewing, reliable coffee maker? Possibly 12v plug in style for vehicle, or battery operated? Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

You would be better off with a camp stove, boiling pot and a French press than a 12v. They take about an hour to make a cup of luke warm coffee.

Thought about this, but with my job I travel a lot and am in my vehicle a lot.. was hoping for something I could heat up with either plug in 12v or battery operated..
Thanks

12 volt coffee pot is a waste of money. you will need to run a heavier wire than your stock cigarette lighter plug also. if you put in a big enough fuse you will get it too hot. after you run a heavy enough wire and install a 40 amp inline fuse you will find out your coffeemaker sucks. hook up a converter to your battery. needs to be a big one. run a 110 pot off that. a percolator and this https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Powe...+PerfectFlow+1-Burner+Propane+Camp+Stove will work lots better

As stated, no such thing as a quick 12v coffee maker. Do you drive a pickup? I've settled on a gas powered generator, as a quick coffeemaker uses 1000w. Enough battery will do the job with a converter but it's a lot of screwing around.

this will run a coffee pot. don't use the alligator clips. connect direct to the battery. run the engine. the juice actually comes from your alternator.

small back pack stove(Mine is a Peak brand with1 small burner and runs on Coleman fuel or kerosene) and a small percolator. I use coffee filters in mine. just poke a hole in the filter with the stem. Make REALLY HOT coffee. You won't need no stinking electric. lol.

A couple of years ago my daughter bought me a 12V style so I could have fresh hot coffee on the job site. It made individual 12 oz cups. It was a great idea but the thing was extremely under-powered. It took forever to brew a cup and wasn't nearly hot enough for my liking, more like luke-warm.


Eh...wot?

I'm leaning more towards the French press.. The more I here about them, the better option I think it may be for me. Thanks

French press and a little camp stove to boil water.
Can't beat the coffee they make.

These are nice little back pack stoves that put out plenty of heat to boil water.

Rig a plate heat exchanger to your heater hoses, the car runs at 195°f. As long as the insulated storage tank for the coffee water is higher than the heat exchanger and the tubing doesn't have any heat trap bends you will have hot water on demand while you drive laugh

How about a power inverter and a Mr. Coffee? My new pickup has a 110V outlet in the dash. smile

Another vote for the French Press. I'm also a big fan of freshly ground beans... For being off the shelf Dunkin Donuts Whole Bean makes a pretty darn good cup of Joe.

I'm a fan of 8'clock whole bean. Spend some money on a real coffee grinder as well. I think the one I have was close to $200.00 but I never knew what good coffee was until I used it and got the grind size right. It's the smoothest coffee you can possibly make. Store bought ground coffee looks like powder compared to what I grind for my Bunn coffee maker.
