    Yeah, it's easier with an inverter. I used a cheap hotplate and a sauce pan to make coffee with. Just put a paper towel over a large mug to filter out the grinds. The hotplate and sauce pan took up less space than a coffee maker and could be used for something else.

    I think just an inverter would be ok, could make some coffe without needing to start the truck if you didnt want an APU.
     
  4. back when I had my own trucks and the big old Yanmar 3-cylinder diesel generator that powered the Black Rock APU on my classic. I was like a truckstop gourmet. Used to enjoy making meals in the truck.. now after almost 10 years of CSA and the fact that it feels more like a job now than ever before..I'm happy just to get out of the truck stretch the legs distress get a cup of coffee..

    I have a hot water kettle and a French press, make my coffee every morning, and a bowl of oatmeal, too.

    Had a cup of the beans to fluid this AM at a Loves. 2 managers were pointing out all the problems in the coffee bar area, empty supplies, garbage cans full etc. And sure enough the machine had several flashing screens of overdue maintenance.
    I will stick with the regular brewed stuff.
