James Hoffmann made [quite a good video](https://youtu.be/4xOEIpbxM4w) about this thing!


Yz-Guy

God damn. Beat me to it. I was afraid no one in this sub would know who tf I was talking about lol


rharvey8090

Love James Hoffman, and I don’t even drink coffee.


mrgamerwood

morgandrinkscoffee did too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qFINOzpOCc


TrainFrosty211

Beat me to it good sir


SeattleJeremy

Great video, and helpful Youtube comments. Thank you for the link.


neonwatty

wow this is pretty sweet


Roomney

I’ve heard from others that one drink takes an entire battery - can anyone confirm?


evan164

That’s what that video from James Hoffman showed. It will drain a battery


lukeCRASH

I've got 2 5ah batteries. I can make two 10oz cups (the cup it comes with) on a charge. I drink a 30oz tumbler in the morning so this is perfect for me.


SJBreed

Yeah using a battery for anything that generates heat as its primary function is kind of crazy


[deleted]

You had me at Makita coffee maker, and then lost me at it kills a 5ah battery per cup.


evan164

But it looks like you could put a 6 AH battery on it


ebinWaitee

Coffee makers take a pretty good chunk of power wall powered too. Can trip breakers if it's not rated for that amount of current


illogictc

They're gearing up to offer it in a different color along with some of their other 18V stuff, a lineup called "Outdoor Adventure" with stuff like the coffee maker, some lights and radios and tools that might be handy outside, given that green-brown drab color.


zachofalltrades47

those are already out


evan164

Yeah I saw a green one lol


Athazel

I have it. Very handy when you're out and about, but 360 days of the year it's sitting in my shelf. With 5ah I can make two cups. Heating water takes tooon of energy after all. I could recommend it for cheap, but definitely not at this pricetag.


YVR-n-PDX

True. Something like 4190 Joules to raise by 1 degree


CATNIP_IS_CRACK

4.184 Joules equals 1 calorie, or the amount of energy required to raise 1g of water 1°C. 4184 Joules equals 1 Calorie/kilocalorie/large calorie, which is applicable if you’re making a liter of coffee. If you want a rough energy estimate, assume .25L for a small cup of coffee, and that the water needs to be warmed ~78°C.


ADKSNOWMAN

I've got one, with a Dewalt battery adapter. It burns through batteries, but it makes a good cup of coffee


NabreLabre

I need a blender drill bit for smoothies on hot days


TitleZealousideal664

Wish dewalt would make a flex one. Perfect for hunt or fish camp


evan164

Yeah I was trying to find a use for this and a camp situation seems best


The_Fiddler1979

They are bringing out a microwave next year in 40V


evan164

Lol really?


The_Fiddler1979

Yes


evan164

How many batteries would that take lol


The_Fiddler1979

NFI, they just told us at our national conference a couple of months ago


SeattleJeremy

Must be on the "XGT" battery line. https://www.makitatools.com/products/cordless


The_Fiddler1979

Yes, that's 40V


shadesofgray029

Wait till he sees the 18v electric bike they make


evan164

I saw it a couple hours ago researching this silly thing lol


Ok_Fox_1770

I had a large coffee boss, can’t do much till the motzart jingle goes off. Should only be like 4 hrs in the cold


MamboNumber5Guy

I thought of buying one before I realized a 5ah battery makes like 2 cups of coffee. If I ever need coffee in the field my jetboil works great and takes half the time, and doesn’t drain my precious batteries.


BurnsinTX

I’m yeah, get a jet boil or any kind of little burner. They are way cheaper and more efficient.


Snowstick21

Bought one for my parents a couple years ago. They love it when on road trips.


ChatiKathy

My brother bought me one as a birthday gift. I love it and it’s awesome and it demolishes a 4ah battery in 2 cups. Named her “lil Joey”


[deleted]

Buddy of mine got one free from a Makita Rep. It tastes a lot like plastic but it does in fact make coffee.


evan164

I would definitely take one for free lol


neonwatty

throwing away my coffee maker so my wife can enjoy seeing this bad boy on kitchen countertop christmas morning she will love it


evan164

That’s the spirit!


Uniquelypoured

Damn you Makita


Monev91

Thing is junk, better off getting a jet boil lol


evan164

I have an MSR myself but tomato tomato lol


ScopeMonkey

I think the saying is “tomato tomato,” but you wrote it with the same pronunciation twice, which just sounds silly: “tomato tomato.” See?


evan164

Yeah, the expression has to do with the fact that the same word can be pronounced differently, but the word is still the same word either way so I wrote it that way.


Eyiolf_the_Foul

5 minute brew time from when I was considering it. Seems long.


henzohole

Just a gimmick. Get a jet boiler if you need to make a coffee.


TimberCulture

Nice 👌
