I've got the same, it's been awesome. I'm fairly confident that the coffee tastes better than the Breville at home. Could be that I'm happier while with the Airstream too though and that makes everything better. Takes a while to brew but I fill the thermos when done and we've got enough for several hours.

I use boiled water and an Aeropress coffee maker, this is similar properties to a French press but with disposable filters and all plastic design. I grind fresh just what I need and make a mighty good cup anytime I want. All you need is hot water and a few minutes.

Any resistive load on the battery will quickly deplete a battery. Your best bet is to use your propane stove, boil water and pour through a Malita single serve filter.

Another vote for AeroPress with hot water however you wish to heat it (gas). The additional huge upside is that it doesn't take hardly any water to clean it, in fact most days you could use zero water to clean the coffee maker...just wipe the plunger clean when done. French press can make great coffee, but it also wastes a lot and is a nightmare to clean.

I really like my AeroPress and use it at home too, its great because in the summer I can dump the concentrated coffee over ice and have an iced Americano...or add hot water for an Americano. It will produce one of the best cups of coffee you can make, especially if you use fresh ground beans.

Did I mention that it takes less than 30-seconds to clean?

I don't think people read your question or maybe I did not read it.
Every one tel you what to use different but no one answered you.
Again I'm not the brightest.
But a small Mr coffee from walmart uses about 800 watts and will perk you couple of cups if you have a 2000 watt inverter. I used a 1600 watt one and did not work so if you want coffee I believe this will work.
Then there are the other ways to make coffee.

Starbucks

Several years ago Backpacker recommended Starbucks instant coffee. These folks are the ultimate boondockers. That's what I use since. No it's not a perfect cuppa but it uses a minimum of resources and space allowing one to stay out longer.

Yep. To complete the Starbucks experience all one needs do is shout your name out wrong and toss a $10 bill into the campfire.

We have three RV’s that we use in different locations and applications.
In all three we have ditched the automatic coffee makers and gone to poor over. We love the Chemex process. Excellent coffee without bitter acids.
We also poor over into a Stanley thermos.
Besides the Chemex, there is a slick carafe by Boden, sold at Target.
Re-heat on stovetop when Microwave does not have power.
In all cases, buy yourself a nice kettle with a long skinny spout.
In all cases, buy yourself quality coffee beans and grind daily. No power? Use a hand grinder.
Old is new.
Less is more.

I have a stainless French press. Works great, except I hate having to clean it every time. I miss the Keurig, but the coffee was never strong enough.

Walmart has a wide variety of french coffee makers, one as low as $8.89 https://www.walmart.com/browse/4044_...sses_Under+$20

20 oz. of hot water & 1/4 cup of ground coffee in the resevoir. Let brew for 3-4 minutes and then pour through built-in strainer. Voila! Hot, fresh coffee, 2 cups at a time.

Getting back at the OPs needs...

If one desires a stronger cup of coffee (i.e. espresso), many of the Nespresso machines use right about or less than 1000W, as they brew less volume of liquid. That can certainly provide a nice cup of strong coffee, from a single serving "pod", without any fuss.

But again, it's like religion. Many people don't mind going out of their own way as a therapeutic ritual for that just right cup of coffee.

[Lily&Me]

And sticking to no propane, no power....I found at a shop in a large truck stop a 12volt kettle of sorts, strictly for heating water.

Tho I’ve never used it , I still carry it and may at some point.

Those shops might be good places to look around for 12volt items.

As to instant coffee...if you like cream and sugar, and want to boil water, Trader Joe’s carries a really excellent and inexpensive instant in packets. All in one, and very good.

I carry it with me any time I travel, anywhere, any way, and it is my morning coffee on “go” days out in the Interstate.

I agree! No need for electricity, just heat water and pour over grounds in plastic or ceramic cone with filter-drink coffee-add grounds to someone’s garden! Better cup of coffee too!
Happy camping!

I did read it. We do a fair bit of camping off-grid, and prefer a stove-top method to save on the batteries. We found that our inverter uses a fair bit of battery power. Plus, in the Bambi storage space is at a premium.

Possibly the OPer or someone else might be interested in alternatives. I think the goal is to make a good cup of coffee.

Revere Ware Drip-O-Lator 8-cup

Since 1955. Boil water and pour over. Repeat. Fill two large Stanley Thermos. Finished for the day.

On eBay.

The bare hiss of the propane range is the thing.

For you electricity addicts. The unnatural 60Hz buzz. Tune out and turn on. Back away.

A built-in range means no more digging out of the car trunk Grandads Coleman stove and pumping it up. That’s so 1940.

Join 1960, why doncha.

Some things don’t improve. This is one of them.

Drip-O-Lator was a trade name for Enterprise Aluminum from Massillon OH http://www.massillonmuseum.org/236 but the name seems to have stuck on many other brands like West Bend and others. I own three largest is 18 cup.

They are darn good but no where to plug them in. They need something charming and a bit nostalgic like, let me think.......

A Coleman 425 or 413 camp stove. Yes that's a combo. And looks great next to our retro looking time capsule trailer.

Coffee anyone?

[rmkrum]

Ah, the old green two-burner Coleman stove. Burns Coleman fuel or ‘white gas’ back in the old days. Have a very old one, got it with fuel in it, had been in storage for 10-15 years.

Oiled the pump with some 3-in-one oil, pumped it up, flipped up the little start lever and put a match to the burner while I cracked the handwheel valve open. It promptly roared to life!

They don’t make them like that any more!
