Hey hey hey! SHE loves coffee too! See, I'm smart cuz I make sure I get stuff we both enjoy!
And, I always get stuff cheap!

Well, I'm finally getting around to mounting this new toy!



I'm considering mounting it here by my Engel. There is about 3 inches of free airspace for the Engel behind the coffe maker.



To make coffee I would need to flip up the back seat bottom, then flip down the plate and put in the coffee jug. Then just add water and my favorite coffee.



This unit is made for RV type installation so it's slim and saves space.
After I brew up a few pots I'll post a review of the unit...

Now that looks a neat unit, i'm not a fan of drip filter coffee, more a tea and cappacinno man myself, but i'd buy one of those just for the WOW factor and to impress the gang when camping

Good stuff

Hey Dave,

Waeco has good products, I believe...I have their 50L Coolmatic fridge/freeze which has worked great thus far for the 2 years I've had it. Now this coffee maker looks like it would be convenient and my lady is a big coffee drinker so this would be easier for me than my current JetBoil method (more of a one person thing)...BUT 200 WATTS average consumption?...taking watts/volts=amps...that's 16.66 amps...holy cow, it draws over 16 amps an hour? Yikes, my Coolmatic draws 1.3 amps/hour and it only runs about 20 minutes an hour. So this coffee maker may be convenient but it's gonna be a big drain on your battery...what kind of auxillary battery do you have, i.e how many amp hours? I'll be interested to hear how you like the product as well as the power drain issues. Thanks

From my experiences with Waeco products i've learnt that power usage (ie) amps per hour, are pretty good, and i think this is an item that would only be on for 2 or 3 hrs max, which you wouldn't even notice.

Thats a pretty slick set up



I ave been using this Coleman

Set it on your cook top put it on low to medium and let it go. Little bit of a packing problem but not bad. Not nearly as convient as the Waeco though.
