Nespresso Inissia coffee maker doesn't work on my boat??

Were you using room temp water when it worked and water from the refrigerator on the boat? I thought my Keurig on the boat was broken, went and bought a new one then when the new one didn't work either, figured out it was due to having used too cold of water... We only use room temp bottles now.

If on inverter, do have true sine or modified sine? Some things do not work on modified sine

If on generator, check the actual frequency. We have an issue with a fisher paykel dishwasher which throw an error on Genset if th freq is a little higher when th Genset is lightly loaded. Modern electronics can be very sensitive to freq.

And it s an inverted issue. Your fancy coffee maker needs true sine

Me? I use a stove top Italian espresso maker with Cuban coffee .... None of that fancy snobby crap

I have had the same problem, and the cure for it is to get a true sine wave inverter.
I consider a Nespresso machine an essential piece of equipment, and even carry a spare on long trips! On my Friendship Sloop we sized the inverter to work with a Nespresso machine, but when I plugged it in, the Nespresso machine could not power up properly. We called the inverter supplier who immediately said: You must have a Nespresso or a Keurig machine as both of those brands require true sine wave inverters. As soon as we got a true sine wave inverter, the machine worked.

I will let you know tomorrow, but I know it is the exact same size as the previous inverter. The only difference is that it produces a true sine wave instead of an artificial one.

Those over priced machines are for people who don't know how to make real coffee...



You may as well wear pink pants and fly a rainbow flag

You are correct in saying that an individual can make better coffee than a Nespresso capsule can, but the Nespresso machine is faster, more consistent, never makes a mess, and the capsules last almost indefinitely. Indeed, I have been able to make espresso with my Nespresso machine when I was to hung over to turn the light on!

I have an old digital clock on my bed side.
It went ape stuff on the old square wave inverter. We also ate some coffee makers with a clock in it.
That ole inverter finally fried years ago. New inverter (true sin wave) works fine for everything.

My old digital clock (20+ year old) still has a problem with my gen-sets. It needs perfect 60 htz to keep time. 58 to 62 htz, depending on load, varys a minute or two, + or - each day deployed on the gen-set.

It's the only digital displayed clock I can operate (old stubborn school).
Da wife's bedside clock has worked with everything and keeps perfect time (crystal controlled), I can never shut that **** thing off in the mornings or set it. Takes after her I think.

We had one micro wave fried also on the square wave inverter, it took a year. Glad to see that beast gone.

Our artificial reef of fried equipment is on the west side of Great Sail Cay. 150 feet from the beach where there is a gap in the brush. Gargoyle #1, broken plates, equipment and that fried micro wave.
