Batteries read 12.1v at rest. Plug in coffee maker and it alarms for source too low. It should at least be able to get started, correct? I know this worked once, toaster too. Batteries getting tired?

Possibly, or should I say likely. However, you could have a bad connection between batteries and inverter. Or a bad inverter?
Before replacing batteries, do a simple test to rule out other problems. Put a voltmeter across your battery terminals, and then have someone turn on the coffee maker. If batteries are bad, voltage should drop right at terminals.
You’ll have to check both batteries one at a time because cable connections at batteries can be bad/weak, preventing a battery from doing its part.
