| I bought a "Tracker" brand coffee maker and while it makes good coffee it doesn't get it very hot. Does anyone have a recommendation for a maker that makes good and hot coffee? |

What I used was a 12v submersible beverage heater and Folgers Singles.
Add water to a ceramic or metal mug, hat the water and the steep the coffee bag. Then I would dump it in my travel mug and off I would go.
When I was at a truck stop I would simply take my travel mug inside and fill it with hot water from the coffee maker and then make the coffee when I got back to the truck.
I never had much luck with 12v coffee makers, Between them not getting real hot, they seem to take forever to brew a pot. |

| I use a 12v, 2 cup (thought it was a 5er) Tracker that I picked up at Petro. It fills my travel mug and takes about 15 minutes to brew, which is perfect for doing a Pre-trip. |

Thanks guys, I finally bought a Burton brand 4 cup maker and it works great. Although I don't know what 4 cups they're talking about. It just fills my travel mug.
It still takes about 30 minutes but it gets it hot. |

| I just bought a Cuisinart 4-Cup,12-Volt Coffeemaker. I saw these down in Laredo some time back, about the time I started driving. I wanted to buy it, but because I was so new I couldn't talk myself into it. Besides, this was at a Pilot, so every Pilot will have them. That line of thinking was so wrong. I never could find them again, I look for them at every truckstop that I go into. I even emailed Cuisinart, they say they don't make a 12-Volt version. Well, I'm back in Laredo tonight and they have them again. I bought one and I will let you know how it works out for me. I sure does look like a Cuisinart, it even has the usual propaganda inside including a warranty. Now I have to stop by Starbucks to get some coffee. |
