T&T: 12 V DC small appliances?

[Elaine Reib]

Another good source for small appliances is www.campingworld.com

Even quicker than a percolator on a propane grill or stove would be a 
"coffee bag" or a French press coffee maker that does not take a long time 
percolating.  They just take boiled water and steeping, like tea bags.
