Yah...I guess I'm too lazy to sit around and disassemble and reassemble an entire coffee maker for a couple of sips...but that's just me.
I'm also too lazy to make my coffee outside the truck every morning and hold bare wires on battery terminals.
All good suggestions by the way, but for other people.
Best 12 volt Coffee Maker?

Forget 12v, JETBOIL stove and coffee press.

It may be unorthodox, but I know for sure you could buy a secondary deep cycle battery to keep in the cab, and run an inverter directly off that to operate your coffee maker... then you could use the 12v cigarette lighter to trickle charge your secondary battery.
You'd have to buy the battery, and make or buy the trickle charger, but its certainly possible and wouldnt require direct access to your trucks actual battery, in order to comply with company policy or whatever. -
If you can get an inverter in the truck. I personally have a Keurig and my K-cups.
But something to consider with most 110v stuff. Wattage is not the deciding factor if something will work or not. It's AMPERAGE. (I.E. a 700w microwave meant for the house that has 15 or even 7 Amps won't work in the truck without a massive Inverter to handle the battery draw) There are basic calculators on the web if you want to look -
