Most CPAPs, laptops... some TVs will run directly from 12v.
I added a 12v tv and Blu-ray for travel/boondocking.
That leaves the inverter to power the coffee maker... Plug it in to the inverter when needed, and no suicide cord for anyone to get hurt with...
(Yes I've done the backfeed at home for storms... Certainly the exception, and carefully controlled. I wouldn't do it as a 'normal' course of traveling...
Plug in the specific devices you need, wire it in with a switch like Tfryman did, or get one with an internal transfer switch...)

The inverter spec is 90% efficient and handles 2000W surge with 1000W steady state. Maximum load would be 600W. The K-Cup is a the smallest they make.
