Add on a pack of filter papers. Simple cheap, effective, and no grounds to have to clean out. :giggle:

Moka pot. Swapped across from aeropress. Less faff, and leaves you free to do other things whilst it does it’s job.

For me the Smart Café mug is the best option. I've been using it for more than a decade. It's double insulated, has a cafetiere type filter, which is easy to clean with tissue, the double insulation means it stays hot for ages. I tried the aeropress, what a palaver, no taste benefit over the Smart Café, and it's a devil to clean. All those bits to hoik around. And you can buy an SC for less than a tenner. But each to his own.

All you need is an areopress, a decent burr grinder, some decent beans plus some hot water....

Either of those need an awful lot of nights without ehu to pay back presuming that there are sites that offer the option of with or without. It depends how much people think it's worth paying to run a coffee maker.

Wow, I am shocked at such a small minded approach to sharing information. What about medical machines that need constant power, being off grid for as long as possible. Not everyone does what you do.
In the words of my Mother if you can’t say anything nice do not say anything at all.

In what way do you think your reply was helpful in any way at all?

What is important to the individual posing the question is why you should reply with your advise. Nothing else, other wise you are a troll.

Well done for starting a pile in.

At home I use a bean to cup machine. In the van I use a moka pot, makes great coffee and is easy to clean too.

I've got a Aeropress which is fine but just taken a punt on this and really surprised at how good a cup of expresso coffee it makes. Only 700w so low power usage👍.

Had the OP asked about power for medical machines he may have got a different answer, but he did only ask about Coffee machines so majority if replies are on point IMHO 😉
how are the current replies ‘A Pile in’ ? No don’t bother answering that as the point of this site is ‘FUN’

Sorry, but I thought it a perfectly polite and alternative opinion to the thread.
We are NOT all the same , and thank goodness for a variety of opinions , advice and alternative suggestions.
Seriously think your classification of a funster as a TROLL, is way out if order on here.
Sorry, but thats how I feel.

Critical medical machines will have a secondary power source which will be supported by standby generators rather than a battery that will last a week !

Just in case you're not aware, the item you've linked to uses NCM batteries, which can be volatile.

If you are going to purchase one of these banks then one with a LiFePO4 battery inside would be much safer. You can read about the difference here if you wish:

Lithium Battery Manufacturer,LiFePO4 Battery,Solar Battery,Energy Storage System,Thryristor Controlled Industrial Battery Charger

EverExceed is a global leading manufacturer of customized industrial battery charger and a global leading provider of energy storage system with 20+ years battery manufacturing experience.

Another option may be to just have LiFePO4 batteries fitted into your van. For around the same price you could have a 230Ah battery (3000Wh) and improve your charging/add an inverter.

Sorry for expressing an opinion!!. As others have said linking power for a medical device to powering a coffee machine seems a bit of a stretch!. My reply was in relation to someone saying they were buying kit as an investment to save on ehu fees. I was making the point that it was unlikely to be a great investment!

It is arguable as whether it could be described as coffee though.;)

For me the joy is also in the process of preparation.

At home I have a Rancillo Silvia Espresso machine and a Electric Rancillo Rocky grinder.
Set the correct grind for the type of coffee. 13 grams of ground coffee. Warm up espresso machine, put grounds in the porta filter. 25 secs of water. Steam wand to froth the milk. Better than any Costa, Starbucks etc.

Areopress not the same but the best to authentic coffee after an espresso machine.

That looks interesting and cheap enough for an experiment. I'd be interested to know how well it works.

Instant coffee is the most consumed and popular shouldnt dis it too much. (Just to add I won’t be using an electric espresso machine in the MoHo) I use instant, buy ground coffee and also a grinder which at the moment has decaf beans in 13grams may be a little light 16 and 26-28 seconds to produce 60ml of espresso is about right.

There are plenty of roasters about but Darkwoods are pretty good and based in Yorkshire. They also produce brewing guides https://darkwoodscoffee.co.uk/choosing-and-brewing



Here is my Grinder, can produce single double or triple shots or continuous grinding. Adjustable for filter to espresso.

A bit harsh and totally out of context to the discussion.

I use a Breville SmartGrinder on an inverter and a Bellman espresso pot on the stove. I haven't looked for a source in the UK. It does a proper espresso (not at a hugely high pressure) and proper steamed milk. Bit of a pain to clean, but it's about the only way to do a proper espresso based coffee in a motorhome (short of a home machine on inverter).

Aeropress here too. Makes a good coffee easy and no mess.

We used to carry a Nespresso machine but, as space is at a premium in our PVC moved to one of the hand pumped Nespresso things which was way too much faff, to a mocha pot, (good, messy and needs to be watched like a hawk so as not to boil the coffee). Now settled on the aeropress, great coffee, able to vary number of cups, clean up is very easy.
