    This^^^^^^

    The Cobra may be a fine inverter, but even one cup coffee makers draw 450 watts and up..., larger makers pull up to 1500 watts. Inverters, when plugged into the 12v power outlet are limited by the wiring and fusing to that outlet, so max out at from 150-200 watts supplied downstream to ANY inverter.

    There ARE 12v coffee makers available which plug into the 12 v oulets, but they take 17 or so minutes to brew, and coffee is less than steaming when ready...

    I had a 400/800 and loved it. I wish I could remember the brand, but that rating will run most things within reason.
