Expert Reply:

Watts divided by volts equals amps so 1400 watts divided by a 12 volt battery would be 116.67 amps. That would mean that you would need a battery with an amp hour rating of at least 116.67 amps to run your coffee maker for an hour.

The closest amp hour rating we carry to this would be with the Power Sonic RV Lithium Battery # PS44FR, which has a 125 amp hour rating.
