I’ve got an insulated coffee pot with a timer. I’m sure the inverter will handle it fine but was wondering how other full time 400 owners and those boondocking have made out making their morning coffee? We can always boil water and make it the old way but were curious how others are fairing out in the remote areas and for extended stays off the grid. We’re heading out on Tuesday and will give the trailer and solar hookup a test up in the UP of Michigan. I’d appreciate some feedback..... Thanks!

If I can use the inverter in the early AM to have my daily fix of java and Linda’s happy the rest is easy! You know the old saying, “Happy Life.... yada yada yada!!!”
I’ve done the pour overs for many years and nows the time to utilize the technology and amenities. Besides, the 2000W inverter-charger down in AZ spoiled me last year! But I won’t risk any battery loss as we’re in a site surrounded by trees so will see how the solar performs overhead and at high noon.

I have a backup 1 burner stove that screws onto a 1lb cylinder.
I carry 3 kinds of coffee. If there's any room left, I'll bring some food...

But I've learned something this morning about the Aeropress. Went to use some of the leftover drip grind that I have sitting in the cupboard, using the standard pour-over funnel.
Using the same amount of coffee as for the Aeropress, we ended up with three cups of pretty darn good coffee, instead of just two!
It seems the Aeropress uses a lot of coffee!
I might have to start refining my pour-over coffee!
And all them new-fangled electric gadgets don't make real coffee, no-how!
Good question.
Since we normally have shore power when camping, the electric coffee maker and bean grinder work for us. But, this summer we had to boondock for a day when a thunderstorm knocked out power to the SP campground.
We improvised that morning by boiling water and slowly pouring it over the grounds in the basket to make do.
Fortunately the better half had already ground the beans the night before.
We have a two propane tank setup, one for the [email protected] and one for the grill outside, so I'm looking at one of these.

And you can get it here for $52.25 with coupon and free shipping. Seems to have decent ratings

We won't even need the 1 pound tank, as it can be connected to the 12 foot gas hose we use for the grill.
Most importantly though, it matches the [email protected] color scheme.
