The idea of fresh coffee on the job site all day long is pretty appealing to most of us. A traditional coffee maker, however, isn’t going to survive. The glass carafe might make it to lunch on a good day and the rest of the machine would probably just as quickly get taken out by a bump or succumb to dust. Coffee makers just aren’t made for the typical job site. The Oxx Coffeeboxx changes that.
Oxx, based out of Michigan, makes rugged applicances, so it stands to reason that a tough coffee maker is no stretch for this company. Not only is the Cofeebox resistant to water and dust damage, it features an impact-resistant shell and what is described as a crush-proof core. It’s a single serve style coffee maker that is Keurig K-Cup compatible. The tank is spill proof and holds 84.5 oz. of water and the 3-foot power cord is retractable. The Coffeebox brews 8 oz., 10 oz. or 12 oz. cups and also delivers hot water out of a dedicated line, so your outmeal, tea or noodles won’t have a hint of coffee.
The durable box features a rubberized handle and stainless steel tie downs. You can expect to find the Coffeeboxx for about $300.

Interesting!
Ironic to see this decidedly (despite the color) anti-green coffee machine plugged at this ridiculously 'green-friendly' web site.
$300? Outrageous! Where do I get one? Definitely a WOOT sort of thing.
For home use, of course. Job site? Really? I've yet to see a site with adequate receptacles for the work tools. Heck, I can't plug in my charger half the time- where will I get power for this? For that matter, where do I get the drinkable water?
Plus, well.... where will I pack it into my already jammed truck?
The product idea is so flawed I wonder if either OXX, or the FHB staff, have spent mush time on job sites. Which, of course, is why I expect the product to smashing success.
