Making coffee on a yamaha

[mraz72]

I'm thinking of getting some sort of single server coffee maker for the boat. I checked the smallest kurig machine and it still seems kind of large.

here is an off brand on Amazon that is even smaller, but does it brew well?

Any thoughts?

We had a small Keurig in our travel trailer and it used to make the 4000w Genny crank up to high speed when it was heating the water. Be careful.

Does Starbucks not have a on water drive through? T

@ b0at1n, lol, they might want to include that in their future plans, I think it would do pretty well on the water....
@S1LV3R4D0, are you saying the kurigs draw too much power? converting a 12v to 100V and then running a mini kurig might cause issues?
@giroux68, that's a good idea, I do a pour over at home (chemex), and I could do that on the boat, just looking for the lazy way out

I'm having a bunch of people on the boat this weekend, and I know after I grill there are some that would want a nice cup of coffee

I had issues when camping and trying to use a Keurig. My car has an outlet for such things, but I blew the fuse for it twice. Not sure if there's anything else on that circuit, but I was done replacing fuses LOL

We went a different direction though. Make some cold brew beforehand, and then add some heated water to it. We did a "concentrate" based on something we found on the internet. Maybe you could use some of your cooling water output ?

Yessir thats what im saying. Its not the volts, its the watts/amps when the water heater kicks in on those keurigs. Found this on the web from keurigs website.

When heating for the first time after being off, peak usage is 1,500 watts. If the power is kept on, the brewer will keep the internal tank up to temperature using between 200 – 400 watts when heating. While idle and not maintaining heat, the brewer will use the average electricity of a 60 watt light bulb.

My coffee maker on the boat is as follows: 1) pull out a bottle of cold water from the cooler; 2) take a drink; 3) drop a packet of your favorite Starbuck's Via into the bottle; 4). shake and drink. Makes a good "iced" coffee when it's 100 out on the lake.

I once made glass in a desert combat zone when the two coffee pots were plugged into a 10 gage cable coming off of a 10kW generator. The watts and amps are what kill you. Plug a coffee pot into a Yamaha and you are asking for electrical trouble and most importantly an enormous fire risk. If you are using the gas grill, might I suggest boiling water and then using a French Press?
