Product Information

One of the items I liked about the Makita DCM501Z is that it comes with a beautiful, Makita-branded stainless steel mug. It’s a simple two-step process to make coffee: one, fill up the water tank; two, add your favorite ground coffee and then wait five minutes. Special event, club or membership offers, third party promotions or prices not available to the general public You also get the pod holder, which is apparently compatible with Senseo coffee pods. this might be worth investigating, but being in Canada, these are about as common as hens teeth. This is a special edition of the DCM501Z Cordless Coffee Maker, in a striking red design! MAKDCM501Z FEATURES

It does come with a basket plus filter for coffee or could be used for loose tea leaves. It also includes a second basket without fine filter that would work for paper coffee pods or tea bags.

There’s no better way to start a hard day of work in the middle of nowhere than with the luxury of a hot cup of coffee.One of the items you’ll want to have handy if you plan to use the machine throughout the day is a battery charger. What about an extra cup? The included stainless steel mug is made to fit snugly inside the coffee maker, so you can easily take this product anywhere and you don’t get splashed by hot water. I was thinking this would be a good office coffee maker/road-trip caffeine fix/garage coffee maker. Since I'm already on the Makita platform, this seemed like a good fit for me. Thought this MIGHT be good to take on vacation, for my mother to feel at home. Not a big coffee fan, so occasional use would he ok. Not practical at all. 45 minutes to charge a 5mah battery just to mostly heat 1 or maybe 2 cups of coffee. Worse part is at first, water is coming out cold, then gradually gets hotter, but not suitably hot, and was very weak. Maybe this is ok for a really desperate coffee drinker. Not good for me.

Rugged construction:With terminal protection covers, and a very solid body, you can take your coffee maker anywhere without worrying too much about being careful with it.Comes with a dedicated coffee cup as standard and perfectly fits with the unit. The cup also comes with a lid that allows coffee to drip in whilst keep the coffee warm and dust out. Out of the box I noticed several abrasions on the top surface. I should have paid close attention in case this was a USED item. The box was taped up kinda funny also. I ran water alone first to hopefully clean out any release agents from moulding. Water pretty much started passing through seconds after pressing the ON button. This is above the standard for multiple coffee makers, and it shows how much Makita trusts this machine.
