I can definitely help you determine the correct inverter for your TV and coffee machine. To figure out the correct inverter, you simply need to know the amount of watts your TV and coffee machine use. While TVs don't generally consume much wattage, coffee machines use up quite a bit of energy, often over 1,000 watts.

So I think you hit the nail on the head with the 2,000 watt Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278156.

This would be the best option for your needs, and for the on/off LCD panel that allows you to monitor your power with this inverter you simply need the Remote for Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34279999.

Then for the install you will use Installation Kit # 342GPDCKIT4. I have added links to video reviews as well as the instruction manuals for you to take a look at.

Since you have different power sources, and 50 amp service, you will need to use a transfer switch with the 2,000 watt Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter # 34278156. The correct part for that is the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch - Metal Case - 50 Amp # 34270278.
