This 19.95$ toastmaster combination toaster coffee maker is on its second season and also makes hot water for the admirals tea.
It fits perfectly on the galley counter. Stores well in a plastic bag under the port seat and makes toast and coffee in 3 minutes!...Hard to beat this fine imported product !

Looks pretty nifty, and fits right in! Glad it's working out for you.
I will say I tend to avoid multi-purpose devices as a general rule, since invariably one function fails before the other(s) and then you're left having to either replace the entire unit (and likely not finding another that does quite all what that one did), or you have to add another component that does the function of the failed portion of the old unit (like a toaster, for example, if the toast portion fails), and then you have more bulk than you would have had it you just had separate units.
That being said, if it's working for you, great! For 20 bucks, how wrong can you go?
I don't know how you guys keep all these AC thing working on a boat. When ever I get AC on a boat I end up getting shocked. Maybe I should have done something about the 2 inches of water I was standing in before plugging in that toaster!
I am from the old school, I can't afford a 1500 watt inverter and the battery drain your system demands. I use a 8 inch diamiter flat plate that has two fold up racks to toast 4 breads at once over a single burner stove. I use a 12 cup Black and Decker household coffee maker glass and the holding grain cup on top with 3 filters and folger coffee. I pour hot water on top and makes 8 cups (12 if I lift filter cup) and put remaining in Thermos.
The 12 cups boil water in 2 min. on the butane stove.
Takes 4 min. both sides for the toast (if covered less than 2 min.)

Spot of tea anyone from a non coffee drinker. Cousins and brothers and I had coffee drinking contests when we were 6-10 years old, cured me of that habit. Rob
