[@rosseryn8216]

I do the same, Aeropress, hario hand grinder and some type of heater (gas/electric12v,120v) depending on where and when.. I also use the hand grinder in hotel rooms and campgrounds because it is much quieter than the electric. This year I got a Khaw-Fee Portable French Press Hand Pump Coffee Maker as they call it. It is basically just a small single cup filter basket with a plunger. It works really well though, not as good as the aero press I have been using for years but pretty darn good if your time and temps are in the ballpark. It is very small and very convenient for a single cup. I have been meaning to tear a paper filter and shove it in the the basket to see if it works as well, I suspect it wont though, would be even more convenient if it did..

My dad has a kettle almost exactly like the one you pulled out in your 1979 kit, not sure what he does with it but he probably does instant/coffee in a teabag/tea. I don’t want to inquire further. But as far as effectiveness is concerned, you’ll find that it would boil a lot quicker if the engine is running. As my dad spends a lot of time on the road I imagine that’s convenient for him. On another note, when I was in the Middle East, our tour bus driver had a camping stove and kettle/coffee set which he would pull out every time we stopped and make tea or coffee regardless of how hot it was. I kind of think he had the right idea for car coffee.

[@norasyikinali6283]

The ideal for car coffee is always - 'have the right equipment to brew it when we pull for a stop midway through'. Any in-drive crockery sounds like an accident about to happen, which is probably why no one thought to pursue improvement on the in-car brewer design.

So a little math an average in car lighter port is 12v (Battery medium voltage) and supposed to be rated up to 10amps. That means it is only able to produce about 120w of power at lower charge. However when running most cars should have the battery at closer to 13.6-14 5v. (Alternator power being fed in.) So that is 10a x 13.6-14.5v = 136-145w of rated power draw on a near full charge battery or running car port. So at the 120w for a lower battery to raise 1 cup (8oz room temperature water (64f to 200f) it would take about 11 minutes. (Without counting any thermal losses or needing to heat up the coffee maker itself.) At the 136-145w of a full battery it will take between 9.5-9 minutes to heat that cup of water. If 100% efficient (which it is not going to be) it will take 21wh to heat that water in energy. The average car battery (Lead Acid) is supposed to be 1323wh. Divid that by the 21wh for brewing and we have about 64.50 cups of coffee we could brew with a full charge. (For 8oz water from 64f to 205f.) However taking the much more conservative cost of 35wh to brew that cup for losses in the electrical system and thermal losses to the maker while brewing and such... We more realistically could probably brew about 40 (8oz) cups on a full charge. The 170w maker he uses would theoretically take 7.5 minutes in a perfect world for 8oz. But again most car lighters are only 10 amp and that means only a max of 145w. So unless your car is a 12.5a or 15a that maker could blow your fuses or cuase damage to the wiring with prolonged use.

Dude, you wear the 70s look pretty damn well!

[@LeftyPem]

That film title bit looked amazingly authentic! Also, the tash is spot on.

I use a bodum insulated travel French press and a thermos of water works a treat and no electric faffery

[@conormclaughlin5811]

How much of the 70’s wardrobe did you have and how much needed to be sourced for the video?

[@jameshoffmann]

Honestly, I had to buy everything in. The more shameful truth is how much I'm keeping in rotation going forwards.

My father had a Dodge GTX back in the 70s and we went all over the country drinking coffee off the car coffee maker! Awesome!

"I don't see why it couldn't be bigger... comments" It roughly takes 6 minutes of room temp 150cc water at 150watts to reach coffee temperature (fact check my joules and specific heat of water calculation). If you want more cc's of water, it will take a linear amount of time to heat, plus additional amount of time to drip, plus more space in the device. Someone had to draw the technology line at all of those variables to come up with that cute little 150cc coffee maker.

[@geuros]

sure we need more watts, that's it :D

[@clard52]

@@geuros at 150w you're already liable to pop fuses on some cars. Those little cigarette lighter ports usually get a 10-15amp fuse, and this does 12.5 or so

[@Iisakki3000]

@@clard52 Yeah. You could also have it wired directly to your battery for more amps but installing would be involved enough that it wouldn't sell very well.

[@hdashg]

Most in car points have between 120-180 W in C segment cars so the coffee maker would stay at that wattage to serve the largest market!

[@Derek-df3sd]

I would say it's down to price. It's a gimmick Christmas present for people that like coffee. It's probably not going to get used much. In reality you would make coffee at home and put in a thermos or park up and go to a coffee shop or just have a can of coke.
