Makita. The Japanese brand is best known for its power tools and for a while guitar shredding. But do you know, it also has a coffee machine? In fact, it has not one, but two and the latest is the Makita 18V LXT/12V max CXT Cordless Coffee Maker. Perfect for your workshop bench or anywhere where power supply isn’t available. And if you don’t mind, it is perfect for camping too.

Perfect for Makita power tools owners. Who would have thought that one day your power tools‘ batteries could be the source of power for making a cuppa?
I believe the machine was released over a year ago, but thankfully it is still available though. You can find it on Amazon.com selling for around US$118. Not awfully expensive, if you ask me. It will make for the perfect gift for any handyman, DIYers and power tool users. OK, maybe just Makita power tools users.
