It's not every day that we get to write about tough gear and durable airsoft guns as we also want to bring with us some tough appliances to the field. Previously, we wrote about the Coolest Cooler, a tough cooler that almost does everything you need to feed and entertain a small crowd during camping trips, festivals, and airsoft events. However, it does not do one important fuel we also need a lot of at airsoft events, coffee.

COFFEEBOXX, claimed by its designers to be the world's toughest coffee maker, is here to take on the punishment of the outdoors, construction sites and milsim events. Rather than bring an expensive coffee maker that breaks once it's exposed to the elements, why not make COFFEEBOXX part of your wishlist of tough gear to own this Christmas? The catch  is you'll have to pledge on Kickstarter to help fund this project and become a reality.

Designed to be rush-proof, dust-proof, spill-proof, rust-proof, water resistant, impact resistant, COFFEEBOXX uses single-serve technology anywhere you go. Construction workers, lumberjacks, military units, and airsoft event organisers would love to have this in their tents to serve up the perfect fuel for their people in the mornings, or when they need their next caffeine hit.

Even for its toughness, it weighs 11lbs or almost 5kg empty. But with its 2.5 liter capacity leak-proof water tank, it can readily serve coffee to a small group. Apart from brewing coffee, the COFFEEBOXX can also provide hot water so you can have tea or an oatmeal too without leaving coffee residue when you pour hot water into a cup of instant noodles.

The COFFEEBOXX has already raised over US$20,000 with a target funding goal of US$50,000 with over 30 days still to go. The problem for those outside the USA is that OXX, the makers behind COFFEEBOXX, will only ship to the U.S.  Thus, international backers will have to think twice before pledging to fund this project as they are not guaranteed that they’ll get a COFFEEBOXX once it achieves its goals and goes into production.  But if you want to support this project without expecting a COFFEEBOXX then feel free to select especially the pledges below US$200 and you still get some merchandize such as the OXX Thermos or Work Jacket.

Now, if only OXX can make the COFFEEBOXX available in different colors (the Coolest Cooler has 6 colors), or offer some custom colors, then I just wish they can have it available in other colors apart from Lime or the Limited Edition Black such as Olive Drab, or any color that can be considered "tactical" like the way airsofters want their gear to be.

The COFFEEBOXX crowdfunding project ends on the 29th of December 2014 at Kickstarter.
