Phoenix 12/800 or 12/1200 which one do I need?

All I need the inverter for is to run Keuring coffee machine in the morning in my travel trailer. The power consumption of the coffee machine while brewing is around 1450W and it will only run for 3 to 5 minutes at the time. Is the Phoenix 12/800 sufficient or do I need to go to 12/1200. My preference if possible would be to stay with the smaller one.

The 800VA is definitely to small. The 1200VA can handle it maybe but not for sure.

The 800VA has 650W of continuous power at 25°C and 1500W peak (for a few seconds not for 3-5 minutes)
The 1200VA has 1000W continuous and 2200W peak.
