Makita’s Cordless Coffee Maker (on Amazon) solves one of the biggest dilemmas at any worksite: the lack of fresh coffee.
Small, convenient, and powered by Makita’s versatile batteries, this little powerhouse allows you to brew a hot cup of joe right where you are without hunting down a plug.
Unlike STIHL’s joke gas-powered coffee machine, this battery-powered machine is perfect for Makita tool fans who want their coffee fixes as dependable as their tools.
What you can expect
This compact coffee maker is 8-9/16 inches tall with a 3-1/2 inch clearance, perfect for fitting a mug but small enough to toss in a tool bag.
It’s compatible with 12V max CXT® and 18V LXT® Makita Lithium-Ion batteries, making it ultra-convenient for those already using Makita tools, such as their chainsaw range.
Here’s a quick rundown of its main features:
- Battery Compatibility: Works with both 12V and 18V Makita Lithium-Ion batteries.
- Brewing Capacity: Brews one 5-ounce cup in just 5 minutes using an 18V LXT battery.
- Filter-Free Design: It includes a permanent drip filter, so you don’t need paper filters; just pour in your coffee grounds or use a single-serve pack.
- Boil Dry Protection: The machine automatically shuts off if there’s no water, keeping it safe and extending its lifespan.
- Battery Life: You can expect up to three 5-ounce cups on a single charge of an 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery, or slightly less on lower amp-hour batteries.
- Portability: Weighs just 4.8 lbs with a 5.0Ah battery attached, so you can take it anywhere without any hassle.
- Colors: Available in classic Makita green, military green, and maroon/red.
Designed for portability and practicality, this coffee maker is an exciting addition to the Makita lineup, especially for those who need their coffee close by on-site.
How to use the Makita Cordless Coffee Maker
Using this coffee maker couldn’t be simpler.
Once you have your Makita battery, you’ll need coffee grounds, water, and a mug, and you’re ready to start brewing.
Here’s a quick step-by-step guide:
- Insert the Battery: First, ensure you’re using a compatible Makita battery (12V or 18V) and slide it into the battery port.
- Add Water: Lift the lid and fill the water reservoir. Be mindful not to overfill, as it can only hold enough water for one 5-ounce brew at a time.
- Add Coffee: With the permanent drip filter, you can either scoop in your favorite coffee grounds or insert a single-serve pack directly. Close the lid to prepare for brewing.
- Start Brewing: Press the power button, and the coffee maker will begin brewing a fresh cup. Within 5 minutes, you’ll have a hot 5-ounce cup ready to go.
- Enjoy: Once it’s done, pour the coffee, grab your cup, and get back to work. The maker automatically shuts off after brewing to save battery power.
This Makita cordless coffee maker is not just a novelty—it’s a real game-changer for anyone who works in remote locations or loves the idea of coffee on demand.
With no need for paper filters and easy compatibility with existing Makita batteries, it’s a practical addition to any tool kit.
