I never thought I would see the day when there would be a tool review for a coffee machine. But for real though, having good coffee while working is important. And I can understand the need for a “portable jobsite coffeemaker that’s tuff”. It’s probably extremely important to workers to have hot drinks available during the day. And the makers of this coffee machine have obviously taken the job site into consideration. Everything seems to fold up. The tray, the spout. There is a water filter to help keep contaminants out of the water. On the downside, I have an awful lot of grievances against k-cups. Firstly, they are terrible for the environment. Separating the packaging and cleaning out the container is a huge hassle that you must do in order to recycle the plastic. Instead of dealing with that, most people just throw away the cups. Yes it is convenient to let everyone chose their own flavor, but no worker is going to have the time to recycle the cups. At the end of the day, there is a huge amount of trash that could have been prevented. Coffee machines like these are also almost impossible to clean inside. Over time, mold can grow and get into your coffee. Personally, I’d stick to a traditional coffee maker.
Besides the fact that I just watched a video about a coffee maker in a work shop this product actually seem pretty cool. Many working people in America rely on some form of coffee or tea daily and when it’s not easily accessible, people get grumpy, and the last thing you need is grumpy worker on a job site. To be completely honest I’m surprised it took a company this long to come up with a product like this. I think that the video did a really nice job of doing an overview of the product and the only other thing that this product needs is an onboard battery pack that can make cups of coffee in places that don’t have AC power. I can honestly say that if I was to be in a situation where I needed to have coffee in a portable place I would be instantly sold on this product.
This is one of the worst tool review videos I have seen. They don’t know the product, they don’t know how it works, and they don’t know the specifications about the product or the company. One of the guys in the video was reading off the box. They should have done more research before shooting this video. That being said, I think this is an interesting idea but probably not one I would go for. If you want coffee that bad, bring it yourself. Or go get your coffee on a break. I’m also not sure exactly who the target audience for this product is. If the target is for construction workers who work on high-rise buildings who don’t have time to come down on breaks or for lunch, I can see where this would be appealing. I appreciate the fact that it is built for portability and enduring a rough environment, but I’m not sure it is work the cost.
