One of these for me (well, two actually, I have one in the house too). This one lives in the van in camping season along with a milk frother. All powered off my EcoFlow River 2 pro. I don’t do that tea stuff some of you speak of and the lovely Mrs Davison doesn’t drink coffee. 
Could be an expensive coffee this!
You'll need a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter, (presuming the coffee machine is rated between 1300 and 1500 watts) usually seen coupled with a 200/230Ah LB.
If you bring an extension lead I'll happily lend you some free electricity!

I've got a 200Ah battery. Isn't that OutIn a battery powered beastie though? 3 cups per charge? You'll be fine!
An Aeropress.
The connoisseurs choice!
Yes, no need for anyting fancier / bulkier / heavier or needing 230v
Yet to buy a coffee machine but the better half wants one and I too, am running a Clayton LPS. How much power does it take from the battery if you weren't on EHU?
Never thought too much about it to be honest, but can't be much as it's only running a few minutes
I reckon I use about 5/6% of my 200Ah per cup, I remember my Mrs filling up our induction kettle to boil on the induction hob which lost 12% of the available capacity! Not great on that trip when we found the solar panel had died!
Alpkit Brukit stove with an Alpkit coffee press, nice and simple.
What voltage checker are you using Wayne? Got a link?
BTW, invertors are surge-rated significantly higher than their constant rating, so a 2KW one should handle a peak draw of 1530W with ease. I was surprised to find out that my 3KW one is surge-rated to 6KW.
I keep one of those in the van too! Old school, but makes a great cup of coffee!
I'll have a look when I'm back home, but I am more than happy to send you mine, in an act of South/North reciprocal generosity! It was an Amazon recommended one for about £15. I used it once for my coffee machine. I have to go to the post office on Thursday with my T31 membership application forms for the DVLA!What voltage checker are you using Wayne? Got a link?

Reciprocation requires an exchange of some sort, be that ££, beer, tea... or even coffee
How about we cut out the PO/RM middlemen and exchange at Bala?
