Jeremy, << What to look for? >>
Unfortunately, probably a different coffee maker. I've gone through this with several different appliances over the years on sine wave inverter output. Washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers it could be anything with electronics. Specific manufacturers typically cannot be avoided in order to solve this issue. Year to year manufacturers may change the design of their appliances, so blanket statements on what works and what doesn't are unreliable. All appliances (excepting a few) are designed to operate on utility power, not inverter power. Inverter power (excepting Exeltech and possibly others) typically has more distortion than utility power. Some appliances cannot tolerate the simulated inverter sine wave power. I always council my inverter customers that I cannot guarantee that all appliances with work flawlessly and that some may not work at all. I advise off-grid clients to buy appliances where there is a liberal return policy.

Has anyone heard of this lately. We have had no problems with appliances and sine wave inverters. What to look for? Sent from Jeremy's IPhone.
