This Coffee Maker Runs on Power Tool Batteries

Japanese power tools manufacturer Makita has released a new rugged coffee maker that runs on battery power. The CM501DZ uses the same lithium ion battery packs as various Makita tools; the company says the largest 18V BL1860 battery is good for brewing about 640ml, or 5.3 cups.

Makita released its first cordless coffee maker a few years ago, and naturally now also sells various flavors of coffee pods for the machines. You can, however, use them with regular ground coffee, in case you want to brew artisanal blends in the middle of nowhere.

The Asahi Shimbun says Makita expects the new model to be popular with construction workers on building sites. I expect it to be popular with me on my apartment's roof. It's out now in Japan for 11,900 yen ($112), battery not included.

Very cool. Almost 6 cups should at least allow you to be fuelled for the first three hours of hard labour...

Looks pretty cool, but hope the mug isn't lined with plastic on the inside. Hate drinking warm liquids out of plastic containers.

I took this from the bakkie as I was driving over the Crocodile river bridge in Broederstroom today. It is just before the river flows into Harties. The river pushed its banks so far that some venues on it is under water.

 

There was also an alert sent out to the farmers towards Thabazimbi to pull up their pumps from the Crocodile river. Harties and Roodekopjes were to open their sluce gates which is going to increase the level of the river by 5meter.

Those trees touching the water are fully grown willows and karee on the normal banks of the river, they are not brushes/bushes. The water here is 3meters higher than usual.
