Automatic Coffee Maker

Aili Battery was used in this video to monitor the battery bank capacity and amps drawn during the brewing of coffee. Finding the best coffee maker for RV Travel trailer. In this video, we compared two coffee makers! The BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup and the Bonavita 5-Cup BV1500TS. These two coffee makers ranked very high in many online reviews! They just keep popping up on our research. We closely monitored the battery meter during the brewing process. Anyway, We purchased both with our own money! This is NOT a sponsored video! CNET favored the Bunn! We love the Bunn too! And, we will keep it for our home… But for this coffee maker shootout for our camper, the Bonavita is the winner! Taste is subjective! But if you go by temperature alone, the Bonivita produced a hotter coffee! This video is very detailed (and long). This video includes AMPS drawn by the Bonavita BV1500TSand the Bunn Velocity coffee maker.
My Travel Trailer’s Solar Power System:
300 Watts Solar Panel, a 3000 Watts Pure Sine inverter, Furion Automatic Transfer Switch, 140 AH AGM Battery Bank by VMAXTANKS. Please search my channel for my Solar Panel Playlist ( how I put it together).

Now back to the Bunn and Bonavita comparison video:

This video is about finding the best coffee maker for our travel trailer. Finding the best coffee maker for our RV.
Requirements:
1. The coffee maker must be able to give us a water temperature between 195 degrees to 205 degrees. *If you do not know about water temp and brewing coffee… google: “What is the proper temp for brewing coffee?”
2. The coffee maker must be able to run on 3000 watts inverter (pure sine) and a 140 amp hours battery bank!
We found that coffee maker just below 1400 watts would fit our requirements for our solar powered travel trailer rv camper.
