I looked forward to the arrival of this coffee maker that I could use in my travel trailer. Unfortunately, the first time I poured water into it to make coffee, the water began to leak out of the unit and all over the stand that it sat upon. If it weren't for that problem, I would have probably have gotten much good use out of it. I returned the item for credit.

The only other comment I'd like to make is that I thought the unit was bigger than it actually is. You might get 2 or 3 cups of coffee out of each brew cycle.

I received this as a wedding gift and was very excited to use it, but I couldn't get it to work to save my life. I will just have to go back to boiling water and pouring it into a french press, which just doesn't make enough coffee for me.

This was one of the most disappointing items we have purchased. Expecting to make a convenient cup of coffee from the pickup or boat. "Brews a pot of coffee in minutes", yeah 30 of them, and even then the coffee is only warm. Advise never purchasing this item if you are looking for a great camp item. 1 star is giving this item the benefit of the doubt. We also have the 12 volt blender(unused so far) and my expectations of that item are low, very low.

Honestly, I was looking for the 12 volt DC hot pot but the store of out of them so I bought this. It needs a strong battery or don't run anything else at the same time since it needs 15 amps to do a good job. I suggest getting a cheap adaptor that alligator clips directly to the car battery to plug this into thereby bypassing all your fuses. Another rater wrote that it leaked. The water tank is removable - s/he probably didn't have the tank fully seated. p.s. Don't bother removing the water tank - it's a minor pain to put back.

It took about 30 min. to produce less than 1 full cup of coffee, and then it just continued to blow my trucks fuse for the cigarette lighter. I was very disappointed and I would suggest that if anyone is considering buying this to save their money!

We were excited to have good camp coffee while we camped and sadly the very first time we used it the coffee pot shorted out a fuse in our van. We have used the converter for watching TV, playing videos etc and never shorted until now! We will continue our search for good camp coffee!

it seems to take for ever to make coffee I waited 30 min and it had only made one cup of coffee, maybe i need to jurry rig mor power to it?

We were excited about the prospect of having freshly brewed coffee on our camping trips. Decided to try out the unit before putting into fulltime service, glad we did! Took about twenty minutes to drip all the water in the carafe, the capacity of the coffee maker. The drip was very slow. Perhaps it relates to the fact the coffee maker runs off 12Volts. In any case, we decided not to risk being stuck with an appliance that doesn't get the job done and returned it to our target store.
