How about a compact electric tea kettle such as THIS ONE for any of the pour-over methods (Aeropress, Chemex, Melita, French Press, etc)? Will easily run off inverter and boil water in less than 2-mins. Would consume around 50-watts (4 Amps @ 12V). Appears to be pretty small, so easily stored.

That's a good point. Despite having at least one of those in the house, I forgot about electric kettles. The momentary power draw could be a challenge though. My house bank is only 400ah, so a kettle that draws 1000+ watts would cause a pretty big voltage dip for a few minutes and be a bit hard on the batteries (even though total power draw isn't an issue). Probably manageable, but not ideal. The current small coffee maker only draws about 500 watts, so it's an easy load to power.
