Will continue to run Mr. Genny anyway for coffee. Oh I use a 2KW true sinewave inverter for AC for most of the boat plus an old Heart 24v inverter/charger for the 24v bank.
Does that mean AC current, or air conditioning?
With all that power, why do you run the generator just to make coffee? Pretty sure I've seen 12VDC coffee makers. I do use an electric drip brewer at home, but propane at our off-grid cabin and in every RV morning I can recall.
We do pretty much the same -- start the genset for morning coffee -- at least 'til our inverter install finishes up. But that's also the same time we cook whatever (electric cooktop, toaster, microwave), charge the batteries, top off the temps of water in the heater, run the fridges on AC (current), etc. Repeat, for dinnertime, plus maybe cool the interior of the boat down a bit with AC (aircon) if necessary.
