Nespresso Machine off Leisure Battery?

[WelshGas]

Loose, bagged or pods?!

Loose of course and from Fortnum & Mason.

Bravo. Can't beat F&M Royal Blend

you can get a nano presso that is designed solely for nesspresso capsules no mess at all

You're right. The MINIPRESSO NS must be new since we bought our Nanopresso.

What’s the best, easiest, mess free way to heat milk up when off grid ?

I'm intending to use a small non-stick milk pan.

I have a 12v Handpresso machine which takes Lavazza capsules, it makes a lot of noise and can only make 50ml of espresso at a time but works well off grid, and I prefer the coffee to my Nespresso machine at home.

The only version I could find was the 'ESE' pod one which gives a better choice of coffee here though: https://www.handpresso.com/en/handpresso-auto-13.html

You could always mix your own pods and have whatever coffee you want:

We love good coffee but are a bit lazy when it comes to making it so use Nespresso at home. Just wondered if anybody has experience of trying to use a Nespresso machine off the leisure battery? I know it's a no go for a normal kettle but wasn't sure whether you can get away with one of these smaller machines....

unfortunately not...

however we use a Nanopresso with a capsule adapter when off grid and keep a Krups Essenza mini in the Cali for when we do have mains...

These coffee machines are an environmental nightmare. For the best coffee in the world I would not go near one, rather have warm water than coffee from one of these.

Unlike your Diesel engine?

 

[Romke]

FYI was about to order but that is the GR (grounds) version not NS (pods)

You can get the base model and add the NS Adapter. Best of both worlds!

Stove top Moka for me. Pods create too much plastic, whether recycled or not.

Grind London do fully compostable pods, and deliver. They work well in Nespresso machines and the coffee (imo) tastes good.

 

[John Slater]

Roar Gill NS pods for me. Ethical coffee in compostable pods.

Another vote for aero press original here... it makes a coffee as good as my sage ‘the oracle’ really happy with it !

I installed a 1500 watt inverter and 3rd battery connected to solar exactly for this purpose. It works well and I can make coffee and then recharge the batter during the day.

Nespresso and milk frother no problem. 2018 Ocean- added 1.5 kw inverter under cooker and it runs just fine with loads of cups a day with no battery issues, engine off, even when parked a couple of days with the fridge on I even run a 600w elec toaster or 800w 1 litre kettle - 6 mins to boil a litre. Only one thing at a time though. I don’t know why some people jump on the solar band waggon so quickly. Unless you are stationary for a week without running the engine.

 

[Tomatoman65]

I installed an inverter for exactly this purpose 4 years ago and it has served us well. As a precaution, I have the motor ticking over if making more than 6 cups on the go.

 

[SteveWR]

We use a Cafflano. Combined grinder and filter. Any beans you want. Great result.

 

[MattBW]

A few folks have done it and report success with inverters (pure sine wave I suspect) but personally my view it will hammer your leisure batteries which will impact its lifespan , will need capable wiring fitted (the standard will likely overheat at this power level) and simpler solutions just make sense on a cost basis.

For coffee we grind at home and use an oomph or sometimes a leverpresso. Aero press are good too.

Can even buy a cheap stove top steamer if you want milky drinks.

That said if you use hookup the it should not be a problem and if you want your coffee fast then fair enough.

2 teaspoons of Mellow Birds mixed with warm water and loads
of milk will put you off coffee for life.

Move on to Kale and Avocado smoothies then.
I do love a good coffee though, i don't feel right without
my good morning coffee, so it must be bad for me.

Haha I can’t face instant coffee anymore, not since i got myself a Sage Barista express at home.

I've installed two lithium batteries, with Victron Solar, Victron Inverter and Victron DC-DC charger. I now have full 240v with 1600 watts to run kettles, hairdriers and nesspresso coffea machine. All monitored via the bluetooth. No modification to the van. In essence, we should never need hook-up again.

Lithium Battery Installation

Hi. My 2006 VW Cali needed some upgrades. I've installed a solar panel via Mppt controller and have been impressed at how little I require hook-up. I've taken the plunge to replace the AGM batteries for lithium ones. This should double my capacity and allow the installation of a 1600 watt...
