today we're going to take a look at the Makita coffee maker and i'm going to take
some convincing because i've seen it being used over the last six months a lot of mopping up and
a lot of disastrous coffees so stay tuned time to smell the coffee. Gary good luck
oh this should be fun yeah well do you want to see that well i'll crack straight on so this
is the makita coffee we've featured it a lot in our live streams and a lot of people have asked
me a lot of questions about it gary and so i thought it's time to let's do a proper review
so i'll crack on okay yeah lovely it comes with a nice cup yeah and because it's a makita coffee
maker it's actually powered by a battery isn't it it is it's a battery power copy and how does the
electricity get into the battery oh yeah it means power charger you still okay so it still went on
the mains effectively then so i'm going to plug this so this is a three amp hour battery okay yes
54 watt hours of power in it and how many watts is the coffee machine itself so this will work
it's up to 300 watts on this lxt battery which is the ones we used on our first generation of ketup
tools also uses the cxt which we don't have but let's get down today count the guts i need to put
some water in first tiniest chamber in the world how many cups of coffee can we get in that one
it'll do 240 millilitres okay so the question was how many cups of coffee am i gonna get that's one
of these ah so we're gonna get one cup of coffee huh yeah no it's going to have to top it up
very generous of you to make yourself one yeah yeah okay so that goes in the selfish water
for the one cup of coffee yeah oh no it's he fix uh tackle and springs i thought it
was selfish flavoured yeah okay it goes in the top there so you've got it right
normally most this comes out onto the table and the floor doesn't it you know it tends to leak
a lot doesn't it and the feature little spoon okay yeah here's where i put the coffee oh right filter
here i could you also use this version if i wanted to put a bag in there have to put tea bags in
there in the past okay which i think was probably responsible for the water what we've got there
ah tailors very nice though yeah the yucky's back that's all about quality coffee that's gary
dump that in there okay so the coffee goes in there Taylor's our lover Taylor's normally with
cheese and biscuits are normally one that's more than ten years old yeah is that the sort of tail
as i'm talking about port gary that's something oh right is that something else it's an old
man's drink okay right so i'll just pop that in there nice satisfying click that goes in there
and then switch it on wow and what we're talking 20 30 seconds for it to be ready it's gotta
build up your brew you know that's what happens on coffee so you've brought along your traditional
uh method there what's what you got there that's right it's called a kettle yeah okay so i've got a
kettle here uh they work also on electricity and it's the mains variety that charge your battery
up so you could almost say that this is battery powered as well in reverse isn't it because yours
is mains charged as well so yep turn it on and what happens is it boils the water quite quickly
and then you make yourself a beverage yeah yeah okay okay let's picture this
we're on site let's not i don't want to be on top with you yeah it'll be a miserable day
you're moaning no i won't be mine because i've got coffee my coffee's blown away
your kettle's useless there's no power to charge your battery up i brought i pre-charged it just
like you would do for your power tools how about if i uh preheat my water if i'm
allowed to preheat stuff this is called a thermos flask it's a fantastic invention so it's really
see that that's a cow i can't have that you're telling me it's really clever so this thermos
flask here if i put something hot in it it stays hot however it's that clever and intelligent it's
a smart thermo thermos flask even minutes yeah because if i put something cold in it
it stays cold how does it know what's going in there as well that's a mystery
that we'll have to do another review on the thermostat so i'm going to make something
scientific here okay so what so no you want me first what's this that's this is the temperature
meter okay i'll open my flowers let me bring the camera in so let's see this then yeah here we go
oh no i like this yeah yeah and you see how hot that water is so i can check how hot my water is
and how long the journey was hold on you've got a filter in there you can't get to it
ah sorry about that so i wouldn't have any old mucky water in there would be
that old wrist trying to get it undone here we go so let's see that there's your water there
let's see let's see look at that put the right probe on it might help
okay and what we've got here is another new invention gordon it's called the coffee bag made
by Taylor's so what happens is all of the coffee you need is contained within that bag you just
pour hot water onto it no spooning into a filter when you finish with it you just throw it in the
bin that's what you do with that one so my water's nice and hot so i think it suggests that maybe
maybe it's time i made myself a cup of coffee yours ready yet is it brought my thermos flask
to work with me i'll get my coffee bag Taylor's again not the 10-year variety no cheese and
biscuits going on here gordon oh i just undo it drop it into there and i take this boiling water
well 90 what is it 92 degrees i'll just pour it into then i like black coffee yeah okay i just put
this almost sounds like filtered coffee doesn't it fast filter oh don't mind this is off your
age is it causing you any inconvenience you're going to need to nip off and use the bathroom
because i know often running water causes quick exit there's in the colder this year look at this
14 degrees in here i'll just uh hold on how long does it sound the instructions it says
because i've read them because i do like a coffee bag it says to squeeze it straight away
and leave it in there for two minutes so we'll uh we'll get our spoon out and i'll just give it a
little squeeze oh he's broken the spoon genuinely brunch so i'll recover that later sorry joe sorry
joe broke Spoone okay and then you lean in there two minutes yeah you do okay gutted
absolutely that was the best back the you know the best thing about this was the spoon okay the rest
of this was no good to anyone are you ready it's nearly there is there any more features you want
to bring to our attention yes it doesn't have a man's lead it doesn't have a mainstream because it
works on a battery how do you change the battery uh off the main okay off the mainstream so there
must be a lead for that somewhere that you're not showing me yeah a little bit of science here
obviously we can work this back and see afterwards obviously let's see how our tap and spring here
okay so we're going for for what temperature that i can't believe i broke Spoone here we go
yeah so let's have a look in taplin springs 12.6 degrees 12.6 so that's our ambient temperature
of our kaplan springs yes yep now obviously what should we try the definition of a what a what um
yes to raise a liter of water by one degree celsius okay so in that battery
54 watt hours yeah it's probably enough that's enough so that's enough to raise a litre of water
yeah by 54 degrees okay in one hour uh in one hour no just enough energy no
no there's 54 you could power 54 watts for an hour okay okay but that's uh yeah so this is obviously
a 300 watts so yeah there's probably something for jo he could probably work that out and we'll do a
complex equation to tell us what's going on so i found these in your uh rucksack for work are
they uh you know because you obviously leak regularly but is this your because they're
pretty quilted as well so what i'll do is i'll take mine out because i'm i think my two minutes
are up on my uh taylor's bag i still can't believe i broke spoonie remember that i broke spoonie
today write it down so how's yours going well yeah yeah oh yeah let's have a look your chamber's
nearly empty okay so let's have a look yeah so when all of that's gone oh i can i can feel well
smell it how's that yours have you done something again i don't know i can't i can't work it out
i can taste mine i can't taste yours yet can we so we're still waiting so imagine you have you
know you don't have an extended coffee or tea break on a construction site maybe you've got
a limited amount of time maybe you work for an employer that gives you maybe 15 minutes
are you suggesting 15 minutes in yet wow you've got to drink it yeah you've got to obviously do
all the other bits is it ready it's getting there we've got all these other great makita tools we've
reviewed the fan before on the channel that was a great bit of fun that was the first time we used
the new bit of software we didn't quite get the sound right but we had a lot of fun doing that
we haven't reviewed this drill yet and it's immense isn't it we've been everywhere with
that yeah that is uh yeah that's definitely worth it and we've also done the square hole saw if you
want to call it that from uh triton tools um check out that video as well so that might be a little
bit of a gimmick but again yeah good reason to own is it ready is it ready maybe it's just
on the last bit just doing that last gurgling when the light goes out okay shall we shall we
brace ourselves for the light going out so here we go lights are on okay just making that nice oh
yeah it is isn't it can't smell yours though
is that i thought it might be the bell calling us back to work after a 15-minute break
okay oh here it comes here it comes is that your stomach
huh here it is here it is
oh hang on it's it's condensation just just leaked yeah something else you in
common with it so we're nearly there pop it out then we are we need the air come on
meanwhile back at the coffee machine and poisoned some milk i'll take the temperature
first right it's done it's done so it's gone out right okay take its temperature what we're
going to be about 15 degrees it's actually dropped one degree look at that muddy water
ah tepid no i call that gary in the coffee world a european temperature okay well i would call
it the temperature that you'd have to have it to quickly drink it because your tea break so
it's going to make even colder so put the milk in give us your broccoli
it's just a spoon now it's lost it's uh mechanical devotion now check the temperature again well
that's just going to drop with a little bit let's see how cold it is now so where are we at now oh
wow yeah wow while you're waiting for yourself to cool down you haven't got plenty of time tonight
she's a bit hot for me well just just kidding i'm going to transfer it to another cup and
make another one all right okay now no i'm not gonna i've experienced the uh second cup before
haven't i you've gone to me gasps i've made myself a coffee i'll make you one okay enough yet to have
a cup of coffee it doesn't always uh keep up with the uh ability to make a second uh beverage
show of course a lot of chaplain springs going in there mate you can't give it away it's not water
right here we go so i'm gonna cough it up swish it on while i finish my coffee
yeah okay i'm still drinking monster it's on oh hang on a second whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
stop there let's bring hand cam it what turn it on there we go okay it's nicely on oh there we
go all right okay it's bubbling oh did you put your coffee in now am i using your coffee again
yeah you're getting the drinks going okay so we're off and running so second cup's underway
so we'll see how long it takes to make the second cup so can you imagine the tea break
you're sitting there with your fellow colleague you're suggesting a beverage you've knocked your
first one out coffee that is and then obviously you're waiting for the second cup how long are
your tea breaks how long your coffee breaks oh you can hear it it's underway it sounds a bit like you
though
you must need to go now you must
will it get to the second cup we might we might dissolve through
at this moment in time while we wait and see if we can get cup number two
it would do flashing light what does that mean uh oh i don't know do you think flashing light
so i can't hear anything now so let's just whip the battery out the side then let's press that
little button on the side that indicates whether it's got any electricity in it
battery's warm anyway okay maybe we're going to hold a cup next to it so you ready yeah ah
that would suggest to me that this is flat okay so we're not getting a second cup are we
uh no and it was fully charged before we start wasn't it it was yeah it's warm i mean you've got
a hand warmer you'll see that that battery's not a lovely little yeah yeah it's similar to a hole
you can hold your coffee and i can hold this battery now can't i think i'm having a hot drink
thank you for cross pollinating my coffee with another coffee giving you a top up
so you can make one and a tiny bit of coffee on that battery yeah on the
well the battery you own so is there a bigger one that we can get for this
makita coffee maker yeah is there a bigger one uh i think there's a yeah you can get a big you
can get a five ampere hour okay and then is there another i might do two i might do two
perhaps you have a dozen of these yeah okay maybe maybe i could just bring one large thermos flowers
and get a whole day out of it and you'd bring four of these to work to make four cups of coffee with
that are we suggesting then gordon that we might think that it's uh let's call the word gimmick uh
yeah i mean yeah would you if you were a self-respecting electrician still serving out
there in industry every day yeah would you waltz onto site with one of those under your arm and
suggest you're here for a day's graft no no you wouldn't would you no i'm not i'd go on with the
i go on the battery drill i'd go on with their multi-saw for definite and maybe in the summer
i might even take their fan on because that was quite powerful wasn't it i wouldn't be seen on a
construction site without making a coffee maker not because it doesn't make a cup of coffee
because it doesn't make two cups of coffee and that doesn't make it very social does it
no we're always interested in your feedback and there should be loads on this have you got a
makita coffee maker and we're doing something wrong i don't know what we're doing wrong but
please leave those comments below so the community can join in were you considering buying a makita
coffee maker okay and now maybe after this you're desperately going to rush out and buy one because
of all the great features it comes with or maybe you're reconsidering it maybe you've decided that
the thermos flask that can hold hot and cold so in the summer and have cold drinks yeah is a better
way forward or do we have a kettle and eventually find something on site that actually can
charge up the electricity in there to boil water we're always interested in those comments
leave them below and he's getting back to all of them thanks a lot
