You also need to take into account the instant discharge current of your batteries, using the rule of thumb of 10 amps per 100 watts, a 1200w coffee machine would draw 120 amps (albeit for only a few seconds). Your batteries would need to have a combined discharge current of 120 amps
It's exactly the same Nespresso machine that we use and we love the coffee. So much so that we have a PSW inverter and 100Ah lithium battery, so it's available whenever we want!
I should have added that it came with a voucher for £25 for subscription, but the amount we drink varies so I did not commit to that.
I also get lots of free goodies when I buy the coffee online. I just wait for the offers... (free travel mugs etc).
Got one of these today. It actually makes 2 nice strong big mugs of coffee. Nice one

We like trying different brews, all part of the fun.
Looking for some non-supermarket ground coffee for the inlaws - any suggestions? They like it medium strength.
Bit of a thread resurection - anyone grind their own beans? Looking to buy a grinder and looking for recommendations. The Melitta Molino seems to get good reviews as an entry level burr grinder.
For anything but espresso the Wilfa Svart is about as good as your gonna get without spending a fortune
Lonton Coffee Company Ltd I get all my coffee from these guys. I've tried load but this is by far the freshest
I use this one in the camper:

I'm not sure if it would have capacity for beans for more than one cup at a time but it works well with the aeropress.

Hi, what size inverter do you have pls?

Thanks! Oh cool, so the 100ah lithium is happy delivering the current for the ~1500w surge for the minute or so of making coffee.
If you don’t mind , which lithium do you have?
I used a watt meter on my nespresso this morning and the peak is 1360w. Which is about 115 dc amps, plus headroom for inverter losses say around 130amps.
I was worried because all the 100ah lithiums I’ve seen have 100amp regular discharge. Some have up to 200amp startup surge… but I understood that was for a second or two max.

Traditional plug in watt meters generally miss the short lived spike that a motor or resistive heater load creates as it's too short, they are looking at average load over a few seconds.
Both Nespresso and Tassimo machines crop up in threads here as causing inverters to failsafe due to the surge. Be aware it's always a risk that a particular combination of inverter+coffee machine might not be happy together.
You need to separate the instantaneous surge load (which you need to check invert specs for) and sustained load (which you need to check battery specs for)
Even if your inverter says it's happy delivering a surge on the mains side if the battery BMS is not you'll trigger the over current shutdown on the battery.

@meza it’s an effectively matching NDS 3Lion battery. Particularly an L-100. Spec looks like max continuous discharge 100A, max discharge 30mins 140A. Your postulated current looks close to what we see on the NDS display. Sometimes we have a sort of electrical buzz which could be a peak load warning, but I’m not sure and the Nespresso delivers several cups of coffee in close succession.

Going to take a lot of coffees before that pays for itself!Great, thanks. Just looked it up… £1000 wow
I’m looking around £250!
