So far can't fault it at all. Great product and does the job well

Hi everyone. I haven’t yet seen any reviews for the ‘Streetwize 12V Coffee Maker’ so I wanted to test this out. I'm a camper and want something for use during bad weather when using the camp stove is out of the question but still need the morning coffee.Please note that I tested this boiling water from room temperature.Also, I’m not an expert – just someone looking for an easy way to boil water on the road!The positives:1. It's simple to use - fill it up, plug it into power and that’s it2. It's light-weight and not overly bulky3. It's affordable - I wanted to test this as its relatively cheap. Most decent 12V coffee makers (not kettles) on the market are ranging between $80-$120 AUD4. It is a good size holding 600ml of liquid5. It includes 2 ... MoreHi everyone. I haven’t yet seen any reviews for the ‘Streetwize 12V Coffee Maker’ so I wanted to test this out. I'm a camper and want something for use during bad weather when using the camp stove is out of the question but still need the morning coffee.Please note that I tested this boiling water from room temperature.Also, I’m not an expert – just someone looking for an easy way to boil water on the road!The positives:1. It's simple to use - fill it up, plug it into power and that’s it2. It's light-weight and not overly bulky3. It's affordable - I wanted to test this as its relatively cheap. Most decent 12V coffee makers (not kettles) on the market are ranging between $80-$120 AUD4. It is a good size holding 600ml of liquid5. It includes 2 (different sized) plastic cups (once serves as the lid)6. There is a bracket to help mount this in the car/truck/van if requiredThe negatives:1. It's quite flimsy and it gets very hot when water is boiling2. The box says it uses 150W but this pulled 179W throughout and maxed out at 180W3. Not a surprise - it's a power sucker. I used a 240W power station with 16.8ah and this utilised 24% of the battery in the 20-minute timeframe it took to come to bring the water to the boil. To put this into perspective, my 20L car fridge used the same amount of power during a 3.5-hour drive in temperatures ranging between 29C-35C4. The power cord got really hot during the final stages of boiling which does not sit well with me from a safety standpoint5. There isn’t an on-off switch – you plug it in to start heating and unplug the power to stop it6. There is no spout – pouring can potentially get messy and dangerousThe verdict:I did return this for a refund. I’m not surprised by the amount of power it takes to boil the water or the time it took to do so but the hot power cord was enough for me to second guess the safety element. Someone more experienced might be able to justify this as normal but I didn’t want to risk it.Hope that helps

Use it twice a day in me truckIt take 5 minutes per cup but when your in the middle of nowhere cuppa coffee ☕️ is good
