I was browsing the site looking for Christmas ideas for my dad and came across this http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=DCM500Z

Thought it might be a joke but they’re in stock at Amazon. Who has one?

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Oct 27, 2015 9:07 PM CT

Don’t have one but it’s been pretty popular. Brews regular coffee not keurigs

DR99Member since Nov 2012Oct 27, 2015 9:21 PM CT

I think its kinda cool. Its the gift for the guy what has every possible power tool. Plus lets be honest who doesn’t like fresh brewed coffee!!!

comp56Member since Sep 2014Oct 27, 2015 9:41 PM CT

you would think Dewalt would have come out with it first seeings the close ties with Black and Decker……

JimboS1iceMember since Sep 2015Oct 27, 2015 10:07 PM CT

Doesn’t make enough coffee for me lol. I saw this about 2 months ago on eBay and thought it was pretty cool idea to have in a work truck but the size is too small.

Yeah 5oz doesn’t seem like much coffee. I think I’d have to drain an entire 5Ah battery.

NordrawMember since Dec 2012Oct 28, 2015 11:42 AM CT

Pretty cool idea though.

krutonMember since Jun 2015Oct 28, 2015 12:16 PM CT

I thought about getting one just for the novelty.

My thought process was it would be good in a work truck for a quick splash of coffee, if only it brewed a bigger pot.

Any information on how many cups you can make on one battery, assuming a 4.0.

I wanted to say maybe 2 cups on a 4.0 but don’t hold me to it. I think it would be nice to have in my office for a quick cup. I believe it can also plug into the wall which would be cool.

The wensite said 2 1/2 cups on a 4.0.

jbw55Member since Jul 2015Oct 28, 2015 4:48 PM CT

Not for me but I’m sure there will be some teal die hards adding this to thier arsonal……so to get a large coffee (15 oz) you need to wait about 21 minutes and burn a 4.0 battery if no AC handy……

krutonMember since Jun 2015Oct 28, 2015 5:30 PM CT

When it’s time to go to work in the morning all the batteries will be dead because everyone wanted a cup of joe before they get started!

I’d hate to have to tell the boss I didn’t get the job done because I burned up my battery at break time making coffee 😆 😆 😆

Cheng LiuMember since May 2015Nov 17, 2015 12:40 AM CT

18v coffee maker? I never thought I would ever see one of those. I guess it would be useful if you go camping somewhere where there is no electricity.

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Nov 17, 2015 9:05 AM CT

I hope Makita comes out with more appliances like this so I can get wifey into the Makita line 😉

Peter ArgyropoulosMember since Sep 2015Nov 17, 2015 10:22 AM CT

Not sure how I missed this post when it started, but yeah, I’d get one if I were into Makita. I bought a small pod coffee machine for my truck for those days when 5 PM rolls around and you’re nowhere near done work, and nowhere near a convenience store or cafe. If 5 oz. isn’t enough for you, you’re not a coffee addict and you’d probably take too long a break anyways 😉

BIGBEARJTMember since Oct 2014Nov 18, 2015 3:18 PM CT

5oz tuned me off, i normally drink 16oz, although for the job site i would totally get a OXX COFFEEBOXX and lots of deathwish coffee kcups. i usually carry backpacking gear to heat my water and brew my coffee. makes it quicker and much better coffee.

for the true working coffee addicts who want something stronger and still tasty i highly recommend deathwish coffee, http://www.deathwishcoffee.com/

I’ve been wanting to try Deathwish. I saw it online and have just never ordered any. So you recommend it?

Does that stuff actually taste good?
