Making a Cupa T, 12v kettle

[TPES]

Just having a look at a small kettle to keep in the van, I always buy them coffee sachets that are 3 in 1, milk coffee and sugar in 1, I quite like them..

Are 12v kettles worth buying? Do they boil enough?

I looked at getting an inverter and a normal kettle, just seems alot of effort and expense to go to just to make a drink

Anyone have a 12v camping kettle they can recommend?

Sod all that waiting, big flask for instant drink.

Yeah I used to do that but found by about 2:00 the water was just warm and not hot

Get a little gas camping stove , folds up to next to nothing and boils a cup of water in no time.

had one in my van years ago left st helens and kettle was boiling when i hit preston approx 30 min drive away.inverters are ok but you need a big one probably cost a few hundred quid large flask much easier.

I was given one, I soon found out why.

We sell them at our truk stop sites, there not much cop really, 24v ones are a bit better buy still not great although they are good at melting the plugs lol, we also sell lots of invertors ranging from 150w upto 2kw

I would recommend one of these

Shop | Jetboil - Personal Cooking System (PCS)

Got to agree the flask gets a little luke warm later in the day

little gas stove from asda or one of the other supermarkets. ASDA Portable Gas Stove | Camping Shop | ASDA direct
boils in no time and has its own plastic case to keep it in. oh and you wont have to wait 20+ minutes for the coffee
