12V DC to 120V AC Converter

[meant2be]

Still learning about the elctronics on this 240 DA. We do not have a generator and we do not connect into shore power. However, we would like to use our coffee pot while on the hook. We obviously can not plug it into the ac outlet. Is there a portable converter that that I can plug into the 12V DC outlet that converts to 120V AC? My coffee pot is 120VAC, 700W, 60 Hz. I know that I can get a coffee pot from WM that will plug into the 12V but we have a Kuerig Mini that we really want to use. Hopefully there is something inexpensive.

You can get a reasonably good 700W inverter for less that $70. However, any inverter capable of 700W load will have to be hardwired.

Radio Shack carries them........it might be an awful lot to ask of one to run a coffee pot though.....

I'll answer your question in a different way: Coffee Press. All you need is hot water. Very good coffee.

$15 to $25 at Target.

It looks as though I should at least be at 1000W to cover the coffee pot and also be powerful enough for possible other items as well. Does this need to connect directly to the battery or can I connect in to another DC source in the galley?:huh: I am an electronic idiot.
