Hey everyone! I'm curious if anyone knows if there's a compact coffee maker, like a Kurig, that works with the Milwaukee M18 Top Off? Also, I've noticed a lot of fake articles claiming there's an M18 portable coffee maker, which seems odd since it doesn't actually exist. Why are these articles floating around, and when can we expect a pack out coffee maker for $299? Lol!

Unfortunately, I found out that Keurig machines use a ton of power—about 1,500 watts to start up! So, they’re not very compatible with the M18 Top Off. If you're looking for alternatives, maybe try a kettle for instant coffee? It's far simpler and requires way less energy.
Most coffee machines draw too much power for the Top Off to handle. Typically, a coffee maker can require up to 1,500 watts when it first turns on, which is way beyond what the Top Off can supply. Marching on, those articles about a portable M18 coffee maker are likely just April Fools' jokes or maybe some poorly researched content. I’d think twice before trusting them!
You might want to consider a Makita coffee maker and use a Milwaukee battery adapter for it. An old-school thermos could also save you some hassle—but, I get it, carrying one isn’t for everyone. At least it’s a feasible option without the tech headache!
