Nespresso Machine off Leisure Battery?

[GrumpyGranddad]

Has the whole country got the coffee craze? I wish I’d bought shares in coffee companies a few years ago.

Jar of Douwe Egberts, hot water, milk, stir, drink - job done

OK, I’m a heathen.

I guess it could be worse, you could be drinking decaf! There’s hope for you yet

I do appreciate a really good cup, I really do, but we do seem a little obsessed with coffee these days.

When did it become essential to buy a pint of coffee to take on the train? Or carry a cup when walking along the pavement whilst staring at a phone with the other hand?

Now you know why I’m Grumpy Granddad

See your point, me personally have 5oz in the morning and a couple of 3oz during the day.
The larger stuff is a hangover from the Americans and Starbucks

I have used one of these with pods- but never even thought about taking it in the van.
I have about 10 assorted batteries so the capacity is ok & batteries can be recharged from 12 or 240v
Machine also works from 240v if available.

Funny how the OP's questions was answered in the second and third posts, but still this has become another 3-page coffee thread. People love their coffee(makers).

Just missing a built in radio

Got one of them as well....

Just missing a built in radio

Also have loads of the usual tools but for the cali/camping the tyre inflater & the LED torches & floodlights take some beating.

@ThomasHJ , yes this has gone waaay off-topic .

In fact THE coffee thread is thisone

The coffee thread

Looking into getting an espresso machine in the Cali. I use a nespresso machine at home, and think the simplicity would make it ideal in the Cali. Looking on the website I see that there are 2 small machines, the pixie and the inissia. Just wondering if any of you can spot what the difference...

Tried the Nanopresso, it was lots of fun twice. I went for this:

It’s an EcoFlow delta teamed with the mini Nespresso. I had considered adding a second house battery but when I added up the cost with split charging, wiring, inverter etc, this made way more sense. It can be charged ac dc or solar with 1800W output and is portable. It gets used often, both in and out of the bus. Love it!

Admittedly the first cup of coffee was expensive, but the second one was half the price!

Edit:

It also runs the ice machine and the compressor fridge for days so I can also have iced coffee!

 

[ThomasHJ]

Yeah, although the different very long coffee threads seem to show that people take their coffee very serious, I believe spending 1400 euro's and taking up about half the size of the van to make a cup of nespresso might not be everyone's prefered solution ;-)
