Plus 1 for Aeropress and a Porlex grinder. Not really into harsh espresso's much. Prefer to actually taste the coffee. Aeropress or a pour over method do it for me, though pour-over can be a little slow and easily gets cold when camping.

If you need 1000W for a fast brew it doesn't matter if it's 12V or 120V, you'll still be drawing 1000W.

So, 12V input, 1000W output means 1000W/12 = 83Amps

Use an inverter to get 1000W output and it will draw 1000W (actually more due to conversion losses) from your 12V, so still 1000W/12 = 83Amps

Are you in that big a rush that you can't stop to fire up a stove? What, takes maybe 2 minutes to boil a cup of water? You can find cheap machines following this espresso review.

Cheers,
Brian

As someone who really only likes proper barista expresso, I've found the bellman cx25p works a treat.
It's pretty much a mocha pot, but has pressure gauge for coffee. Also has a decent steam wand which is what makes it so good. Bellman-Espresso-Maker-Steamer-CX25P.jpg

Out of curiosity I looked up the power rating of a marine battery - about 60 amp-hours. Roughly speaking based on my typical boil time with a tabletop 1200W kettle, boiling just a few liters of water (at any voltage/amperage) would be enough to completely kill the battery, so bear that in mind as well...

What’s wrong with using gas to heat water, there’s a gazillion ways to do it....

Don't get the minipresso - that's the old version and has been superseded by the Nanopresso, which addresses issues the previous version had with leaks and failures.

I have a Nanopresso and love it. I also have an Aeropress and love that too.. both are a bit of stuffing about to make a coffee while camping though, so it's worth spending some time on YouTube getting familiar with them.

x 2. Not just x 2 on the comment, but I have 2 nano's. One in my camp kit (with barista kit) and one in my work bag (with nespresso adaptor)



One day when I get rich, I'm going to grab a delter press to see what is more convenient.

A 1200W Nespresso machine pre heats in 25 seconds
Doing a single short shot takes 20 seconds.

So do a calculation on 45 seconds @ 1200W.

I don't think you will use 30AH of battery in 45 seconds!

I use a Porex grinder when using beans or just buy a heap of small packs of ground coffee in different varietys and use them in a percolator.
Havent come across a variety that cant be killed with sugar yet...........except Blend 43!!
