Get fresh brewed coffee wherever the job takes you with the 18V LXT® / 12 V max CXT cordless coffee maker. No paper filters are needed, just your favorite ground coffee or single-serve pack, water and a Makita 18 V Lithium-Ion battery. It will brew up to three 5 oz cups of coffee on a single charge of an 18 V LXT 5 Ah battery (sold separately). It is also compatible with both Makita 12V max CXT® and 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18 V LXT® system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18 V LXT® batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18 V LXT® and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. With Makita 12 V max CXT® Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, users get superior balance and ergonomics over pod-style batteries. For longer run time, 12 V max CXT® cordless tools are also compatible with the 12 V max CXT® Lithium-Ion 4 Ah battery (BL1041B, sold separately). 12 V max CXT® Lithium-Ion batteries are engineered with a battery protection circuit that protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating.
