Vans, trucks, SUVs, RVs, boats, and semis will normally have stronger outlets that are rated for up to 20 amps.<\/p>\n Read more about how to tell how many amps your vehicle’s 12V outlet is rated for in the FAQ section below.<\/p>\n Why is the amp rating on my 12V DC outlet important?<\/strong><\/p>\n It takes a lot of power to boil water quickly, and even the strongest 12V outlets rated for 20 amps can only output a max of 240 watts.<\/p>\n To put that into perspective a small coffee maker used about 700 watts to make coffee and an electric fast boil kettle will use as much as 1500 watts of power.<\/p>\n That’s why 12V coffee makers and kettles take way longer to do what a regular wall outlet appliance can do, and it normally doesn’t do it as well.<\/p>\n Now that you know what to expect in a 12 volt coffee maker here are your best options.<\/p>\n Some of these are true 12V coffee makers that can heat water and make coffee while others require you to use a 12V kettle or stove to boil water first.<\/p>\n You can find more info on the best 12 volt kettles later on in the article.<\/p>\n No matter what you choose make sure you check how many amps your 12 volt outlet is rated for before you buy.<\/p>\n Getting a 12 volt coffee maker that uses more power than your 12V outlet can output may result in damages to your vehicle or boat’s electrical system which can be an expensive repair.<\/p>\n See Also:\u00a0Best 12V TV For RVs, Vans, Boats & Campers<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
