Will A 12V DC to 110V AC Converter Run A Coffee Pot?
Question:
In my LQ of my horse trailer there is a cigarette lighter or whatever that thing is called, would this inverter work to plug my coffee pot into? My trailer has its own battery.

Using a 12V outlet like you mentioned, the Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter - 225 Watts - 12V # 34280173 will not be able to run most residential coffee pots without issue. Coffee pots draw a lot of power like up to 600-1200 watts on average at start up with a Keurig being closer to 1,500 watts, so you will need a much larger power inverter to use your trailer battery to power that coffee maker. I recommend the Power Inverter 1000 Watts with Three AC Receptacles # WC3720 which is rated for up to 1,000 lbs continuous power and 2,500 watts peak surge.
It will run a coffee grinder too, although running both at the same time may not work because of wattage draw.
