# Smart Car Coffee Pots The 'RoadPro 5027S' Makes and Stores Hot Coffee for Roadtrips By Colin Smith | Published 2023-12-06 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadpro-5027s References: [amazon](https://www.amazon.ca/RoadPro-5027S-12V-Smart-Car/dp/B0000AXQE8/?tag=trenhunt0f-20)  'RoadPro,' an automotive accessory and in-car gadgets company, debuted the 'RoadPro 5027S,' a [portable coffee pot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kavago-k1) and [beverage warmer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warmer-concept) for in-car operation. This coffee pot is powered by a 12-volt plug that connects to the lighter socket in a vehicle's dashboard. However, the listing states that it also connects to a 'power socket,' so it may be possible to use an alternative solution if your vehicle does not have a lighter socket. The 5027S has a maximum 20oz capacity for storing liquids, and is rated to store not only coffee, but also hot water, soups, teas, and more. In terms of its safety features, the RoadPro only uses the necessary amount of power to keep the beverages warm once brewed, and it features an automatic sensor that kills its power if the fluid inside evaporates. The 5027S can be purchased from [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcoffee-auto-12v) or other third-party storefronts at varying prices, but each are around $29.99 USD.
