MAKITA COOLER ☃️ WARMER BOX REVIEW 👉 th-cam.com/video/FxT6TZtHf9s/w-d-xo.html
Although Makita may not tell customers this, the higher AH batteries are better at giving the high AMP output required for the 300watt coffee maker. It has to do with the Amperage required from each Lithium Ion cell. There are more cells in the higher AH batteries. Actually double the cells. My coffee maker works great on 4.0 and 5.0 AH batteries. Coffee is very hot and brews quicker than your machine did on the 3.0 AH battery. Too bad your review turned away some buyers. This little coffee maker works great.

That was a satisfying click on the Makita though! I’m glad i saw this cause i’m new to the trade, no chance i’ll be waltzing onto site with one; i’ve got a few cups to make for!
Great to have found this channel, wish you all the best for 2021 and look forward to following along
Hello from USA, Chandler, Oklahoma
You two are a riot! I enjoy your honest reviews! 🤣😁 I love tools & gadgets! Thank you!
Sincerely, GrandMa
An interesting illustration of how much energy boiling water requires, and why you should only fill your kettle as much as you need!
Tell my wife...
I endet up buying a waterheater that spits out boiling water insted of heating up a tank.
Cost me 200€ but i bet we made the money back after 2y
You mean you bought a kettle....
I was looking at the Makita because I thought it would be nice for when the power was out or for working outdoors. I wouldn't use it on less than a 5 amp battery. But I think I'll look around some more before buying. Great humor guys.
I just bought one for 30 squids, awesome with 5-6 amp
After working in a house with no heating and only a generator for power (not even bug enough for a kettle) we tried this and it worked great! The thermos didn't last us long enough so maybe needed a bigger one but both are viable options if you have no kettle!
I was going to buy one of these for my office as it would have been really convenient, but having seen its abysmal performance here I have visions of it running out of power midway through a brew! I'll just buy a kettle and a cafetiere. Thanks lads!
Seems like making a coffee with this would be a job for the apprentice 😂
Apprentice Gordon 🤣
Or the team bludger
How can I ever take you guys seriously again? lol. Happy Christmas and all the best for 2021
some good points you bring up. A small percolator and small gas hiking stove seems to me a better option
I almost bought one of these. Thank you very much fellas
Please let Gordon I managed to first fix the extension while he took his extended festive coffee break, am gasping for my cuppa now. All the best best for 2021
Cheers David 🍻
Bring more batterys, how many cups of coffee can it produce before the magic smoke comes out ?
Makita BATTERIES
before it got stolen, mine made about 6 cups a day for about 2 years off 3 batteries a day. Just swapped out in the car charger off the solar panel. Great for remote work.
Just bought one, pleasantly surprised 👍
Makes good coffee ☕️ just not many of them on one charge!
I'll wait for the brushless version
You're a bit off on your definition of a Watt.
The short explanation is:
I think you're thinking of a Calorie, which is a unit of energy, equal to the amount of energy required to heat 1kg of water by 1°C. Calories can be confusing because a Calorie (capital C) is for 1kg of water, a calorie (minor c) is for 1g, so 1Cal = 1000cal = 1kcal (k stands for kilo and means 1000)
The long explanation is:
A Watt is the SI unit of power.
Power is the rate of change or transfer of energy.
A Watt is the transfer of 1 Joule every second.
A Joule, is the SI unit of energy (or work done).
Energy can take many forms but it requires energy to apply (or overcome) a force over a distance. Like lifting a mass up, against the force of gravity.
Effectively, if you carry a sack of potatoes to the top of some stairs, you will have worked against gravity and that requires energy, measured in Joules. Or if you warm up some water that will require energy.
But power, is about how quickly you transfer that energy. If you want to run up the stair with the potatoes you will require more power, measured in Watts, but the same energy. Or if you want to warm up your water quicker, you will need more power.
(There's also energy loss to consider but that's not important here)
You can work out the energy required to heat 1kg of water by 1°C by search for its specific heat capacity (it's different for different materials)
For water it's about 4.2J/g/°C or 4,200J/kg/°C.
So to raise 1kg of water by 1°C requires 4,200J of energy.
A Watt is about how quickly you transfer the energy so if you wanted to heat 1kg of water by 1°C every second, you'd require a power of 4,200W.
And it all works with ratios so if you had half the mass of water (0.5kg) but the same power, it would increase in temperature by 2°C every second, and so on.
A Watt-hour, is a unit of energy similar to a Joule. But a Watt-hour (Wh) is the energy transferred by a power of 1Watt applied for an hour.
Because an hour is 3600 seconds, a Wh is 3600 Joules.
The big brother of the Wh is the kilo-watt-hour kWh. Which is 1kW (1000W) applied for 1 hour.
A battery with a 1000Wh capacity contains the equivalent energy to supplying a power of 1000Watts for 1hour. Which again with the ratios is the same as 2000W for 0.5hrs and so on.
Batteries get more confusing because they're usually rated with an Amp-Hour (or milli-amp-hour, which is 1000 times smaller) capacity, rather than Wh. To convert between Ah and Wh, one needs to know the nominal voltage of the battery. Wh is the product of the Ah and the voltage. Two batteries both with 10Ah capacities will store a different amounts of energy if they are different voltages - for example the Makita 18V Vs 40V.
It gets more confusing when you consider energy loss, but to raise 250g (equivalent to 250ml) of water by 80°C (20° to 100°) will require 84,000J of energy (4.2*250*80). Which is 23.3Wh (84,000/3600).
So 54Wh is about enough for 2 cups if there were no energy lost (there always is).
With a power of 300W, it will take 280 seconds (4m40s) to transfer the required 84,000J.
For comparison, a 3kW kettle - fairly common in the UK, would do it in 28seconds.
I didn’t realise a cup of coffee could get so so complicated lol fair play !
If your on a jobsite they might be worth it just keep working while it's brewing
Gary and Gordon's reviews are hilarious! 😂
As coffee bags contain a mix of instant and ground coffee they produce an almost undrinkable cup, at least for an Australian as we love our coffee ☕️
UK Coffee bags are ground coffee, that said I have an insulated mug with an inbuilt french press. Now that thing can make a decent cup of coffee at the same speed as instant.
spoon should now fit nicely in the chuck of the drill. rapid stirring and no mains required! ;-)
I'd need a dedicated battery and supply to keep that bad boy going all day on site. Thermas for me still 👍or 100ah battery 🤣. Great video chaps
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For me I have an inverter that can charge the batteries with it's charger. That's hooked up to a small solar array. I will have coffee in an outage.
We have the original model and it was not purchased for a job site but we use it when we are RV'ing to make our coffee before we hit the road at 5 am when we are wally world camping. Yes we could boil water on the stove and make it that way, but this is perfect as the coffee is ready by the time the trailer is ready to go. And 1 5amp battery does do 2 coffee's. I have not used a 3 amp battery on any of my numerous Makita tools for years. 5 or 6 amp only now.
yes , boiling water requires alot of energy. if you like coffee and in makita platform, you have plenty of batteries to boil some coffee. How many coffee you need? they say you are able to boil 4 cups on a 5ah battery
I’ve always been intrigued by this coffee maker in the stores - but, after watching ur video, it’s a total waste of money and time. I agree, a decent thermos or a premade coffee in a flask, is way more sensible.
Now, the makita heated / cooled lunchbox or cooler box would be amazing!
a 240v kettle works on 110, just boils slower , but does make more tea quicker than that makita thing ... Dewalt .. if you're listening, please make a flexvolt kettle :)
Hey guys i have one off these machines i think its great but i bought it to use with coffee pods as it is advertised to use but they dont seem to work canyou shed some light cheers
Merry Christmas ☕
Beer time not coffee ☕️
Happy Christmas cafe
Well done boys
Haha I got one cheap ( please don’t ask) coffee all over the place some in it’s cup too!! My excuse is I sometimes live in my un trusty rusty transit , and if I get the grind rite it oughta work ……ps not sure of your names chaps but one of youz is a dead ringer for Leon , Renee I don’t know his second name …great film btw
Guess I should stick to my wind proof lighter and metal cup 🤣 cant be waiting around when you need a brew
This just made my year
Why was this so funny
Selfish flavored
Thanks for watching 🤣 we had a blast making it 👍
I give them all their best lines! 😂 Joe
Big RIP to the SpoonE, looks like a great emergency cupper kit but not for every day to day use
The SpoonE will be back!
Will it get an epic upgrade 🤯
I'm clearly not sophisticated enough to be able to move on from a spoonful of Nescafe. Instant gratification!
Ill be getting one, I have a inverter and fridge in the back of the Ute, so coffee any place anytime
check out the new cooler / warmer box review - th-cam.com/video/FxT6TZtHf9s/w-d-xo.html
You've knocked your first one out, which canteens have you been in lol
Best not to ask - but I’m not having milk 🥛 in coffee anymore *Gordon
Thermos with hot water, beans and a handgrinder, brewed in a V60 or an Aeropress is my way of making coffee.
Best way of making coffee is to get a huge thermos, make a cafetiere coffee at home with a DECENT coffee like Teifi Coffee, and enjoy through the day.
This is not just a coffee maker this is a battery discharge benchmark.
Great point 👍🏻
How many cup of coffee if I use 3 Amps battery??
1
I like it to much u can take to the work and some cafe make u weak up
Just bought mine as a late xmas present to myself
Hope you’ve got plenty of batteries 🔋- send us some action shots when you get going!
@@efixx have an inverter in the van to charge the batteries on the go 👍
How much the price of makita coffee maker with the battery and the charger??
In Germany 77.89 Euros, VAT already included. Batteries are not included and the charger also not included. That are ~95 USD. Standard charger is in the range of 45 Euros (55 USD), Makita batteries are round about 70 Euros (5 Ah, 86 USD). Too much for a gimmick. The only Makita not-tool that I have is their radio, nice to have some music on site. Otherwise I rather use the batteries for my Makita impact or the hammer drill instead of wasting them for making a cup of coffee.
@@Marcel_Germann thanx a lot brother
Guz, may you compare that fancy smancy coffe maker with 110v kettle?
Awesome, but I dont think I'll bother as I only have 8 5ah batteries.
😂👍
I was just about to buy one but I think I’ll give it a miss now....
I am thinking of purchasing in the event of a power outage. Keep batteries topped up. There you go.
You’ll need plenty of batteries or one of these 👉th-cam.com/video/7nmI1TpjbuI/w-d-xo.html&feature=shares
Brilliant video! Thanks for saving me a days pay on this gimmick.
We’ll sell you ours!
Would be great when you have a power cut at home..... I have 6 x 6amp batteries always fully charged
Very funny Gaz 🥰
Thanks he sure is 🤣
Don't need to charge via mains power I charge my batteries with a 12v charger.
Also I agree with others here that 5ahr batteries would be better and faster!!
I had the 1st gen one used it a couple of times lives in the cupboard, was looking at the second gen but ill give it a miss lol,
Just ordered one ...Got 5 amp batteries .Sorted.....
I reckon that coffee maker would definitely come in handy so long as you got a spare battery that you don’t mind sacrificing one battery for the day…. Review was pretty good, don’t know if I could put up with the shorter guy on site, just a bit annoying, doesn’t he ever shut up, I wanted to watch a review not listen to a wannabe stand up comic, and not a funny one either. Anyway, thanks for the review guys 👍🏼
He’s back tomorrow in the Makita kettle review
@@efixx think I’ll give that one a miss, thanks 😂😂😂
I use a Thermos 1200 ml flask and I can get 4 large mugs of tea or coffee.l boil my kettle and fill the flask in the morning before I go to work and it stays hot all day and it would be hot enough for the next morning,so no contest,the makita is a gimmick
It’s almost like you have to down play because you’re afraid to say it’s good and hear others talk crap. It’s great for job site no power camping no power on the road traveling. Don’t be shy if it’s great it’s great
No one uses 3amp battery on that you stick 5 or 6 amp battery 2 mins its ready 😉👌
Battery capacity doesn’t increase the speed as the power is fixed by the voltage. You might get an extra cup on the sane battery.
As usual the Makita product did what was promised...it made a good cup of coffee !
Gimmick? Spot on!
Back to the drawing board for that one I think, too slow and a one cup wonder 🤯 doesn’t look that robust, not sure how long it would last with the apprentice’s using it😉
Thanks for the great message - turn it tonight at 8pm as we are giving out prizes th-cam.com/video/w0Fq-h7U4LQ/w-d-xo.html (hint 😉)
@@efixx already in the diary thanks for a great series of clips on tools 👏👏🤩
Just hope the public don't see this as if am on a domestic job and ask for tea or coffee. They will say don't you have one of them portable coffee makers.
Whens the drill review?
A few weeks off - just waiting for a suitable challenge.
Is that the guy from gsh electrical
It sure is - Gary Hayers
Never seen such hostility towards battery powered appliances!
The drill is amazing 👍
ill stick to a flask, im a ryobi tool user, they make just about anything 18v, if they havent made a coffee maker there must be a reason LOL
🤣 - Any random gems in the Ryobi range we should be taking a look 👀 at?
This was more the Gary show than a review of a coffee maker. Mans a mouthpiece. I’ll watch it somewhere else
Bet he put some hot tea in it then some ice cream.
Just use a 6Ah battery
Think you've got watts mixed up with calories lol
It was the excited 😆
I will stick with my yeti jug holds 32 oz of coffee. Hot all day
Camping stove is a better option
Sounds like it would be quicker and cheaper to go to coffee shop down there road
Almost be better to start a fire and use a percolator 😄
Lol the selfish water!
Please. Launch. Battery. Power. Pressure. Cooker. For. Easier. For. All.
A tiny mug half-full of coffee.
79 degrees is exactly the temperature it should be if you know anything about coffee.
If you pour boiling water on to it directly it burns the coffee and the difference in taste is very noticeable. So if you use a kettle and you drink black coffee …… you’re drinking burnt coffee. If you like it with milk ….. mix the milk and coffee together and then pour. Or just buy a makita coffee machine for £40 ……
When did Dr Fauci start flogging coffee machines?
Coffee bags... Whatever is tastes don't know but ain't coffee!
That bloke on left is a helmet
It’s quite worrying that they guy on the left doesn’t seem to understand the concept of a rechargeable battery. Yes you use mains power to charge it up, but once it is you do not need to be anywhere near mains power to use something that runs off that battery? I think the cup of coffee has a higher IQ than that guy.
Wait… you guys drink coffee?….😂
This thing is really bad it leaks all over the place. And doesn't work with 14.4v. Wasted 100$ on it thanks Makita
Lots of pee jokes
banter fest
That’s a joke. Get yourself a small butane backpacking stove and a small pot and a pour over type coffee maker. It’s cheaper, easier, smaller, lighter, most likely faster, can make 2 cups worth at a time, and last but not least it will taste GREAT.
Camera man talks to much
Painful to watch....... well the guy on the left. Must be a nightmare to work with
The tall one or the short chunky one...?
The short chunky guy on the left of the screen.......... Mr perfect always right lol
That short dude needs to chill the hell out
Too much caffine 😂😂😂
Too much preamble and general banter get on with the review
Tip of the day mute with subtitles 👍👍
Trying to listen but that guys whining to much.
He has produced over 500 free videos for U.K. apprentices on TH-cam channel GSH Electrical... hardest working man I know
It’s called humour 🥳🥳😊
Just like the Mikita kettle total rubbish and way overpriced, complete waste of time and money.
Tried to watch the whole video but the short bloke just annoyed me too much.
I couldn’t finish this video because he was too annoying. Disappointed
Pointless shizm
The short bloke is really annoying!
