I tested this unit by running water thru it without coffee for one cycle. It comes with a hanger for attachment to your car door, so I attached it to the passenger door of my little pickup. This is a simple process; part of the hanger slides down inside the window well, and it bends to fit any car door. The cup holds exactly 8 ounces to its rim. The water reservoir fills to a maximum of 6 ounces; any more runs directly into the cup. The unit is clearly not intended for operation in a moving vehicle. The cup does not fully seat in the bottom tray and would easily slide off. And when filled to 6 ounces, the reservoir would easily spill if jostled.
So how's it work? It took 10 minutes and a few seconds for all the water to heat and run into the cup. The cup of water was hot. Not very hot and not kinda hot, just plain hot. I'm sure some people would want it hotter, but it would be fine for me (and Goldilocks). The water begins to drip after only a minute or so. This means that if you're making something other than coffee, like maybe tea or soup or instant oatmeal, you can place the fixin's in the cup and have it brewed by the time all the water has run thru.
For waking up to hot coffee at a campsite, I'd say it does the job. And that's what it's really meant to do.Get more detail about Wagan EL2307 Personal Mini Coffee Maker.
