I'm a long time lurker, sometimes poster. I learned how to do espresso right

I'm to be a SAG or van driver for an 8-day bicycle tour for 20 adult
cyclists. One of my (many!) responsibilities is organizes morning &
afternoon breaks and lunch. I assume some cyclists will want (crave?)
coffee.

Without reliable AC power, I could get a 20-cup aluminum percolator and put
it over my little Coleman camp stove. Or a large thermal carafe and buy tank
coffee on the road.

Any other ideas? I won't have a lot of time during stops to deal with
moka-pots or presses, so I need a more or less set-it-and-forget-it
solution.

GO to an RV store and get a unit that converts DC to AC and put a long
pigtail plu on it. When you stop, brew.

Although, I agree as a bike rider, that coffee may not be high on the
rider's wants mid-ride.
