My wife called from the store where she's doing Christmas shopping.
Same BS every year with kids, grandkids, parents.
Bah, humbug, but there it is.
She saw a 12V drip coffee maker. 20 bucks. I told her to get it.
4-cup. Which means 1 1/2 real cups.
I drink a LOT of coffee, and thermos coffee can't compare to fresh
brewed. We carry our a 10-cup on the road and always brew coffee
in the motel room. A touch of home.
Now I plan to make it when to stop at a rest area, using the cig
lighter to plug it in.
Anybody have experience with 12V coffee makers?
Have to have coffee for my boat overnighters too, so I might as well
be prepared.
Tips?

I like the old fashioned way. Propane burner and pot. Just toss the coffee
grounds into boiling water. One the desired thickness, off the burner with
a splash of cold water to help the grounds settle.

12V, must be a thick or warm cable when using it. Would be slow for sure.
