04.30.06 by Widge @ 2:31 am  Weren't we just talking about the concept model of something like this the other day? And here it is, but quit it with the concept versions. We want it. More importantly, we need it. The WMF espresso machine sits in the Roadjet concept car from Audi and is ready to pump you up. How much longer must we continue to be teased like this?

04.13.06 by Widge @ 12:38 am  Gizmodo has the skinnee on this design project, which won second place in a contest to see how the "coffee rituals of today might evolve and fit into future lifestyles." The result? A coffee machine that fits into the middle console of your car. Where the hell do we sign? "Wavey-wave, Starbucks, I'm making my own this morning! Later!" Bring that noise. Thijs van Cuyk and Lavrans Laading of the Netherlands--we salute you. Categorized as: Coffee

10.31.05 by Widge @ 8:44 pm  Personally, I have no problem with Starbucks. While I love me some indie coffee, I'm an equal opportunity coffee purchaser. "Oh, you have coffee? I love you. What was this place's name again? Who am I?" Still, it's funny as shit to see an indie coffee's folks dressing up as zombie Starbucks employees. Absolutely brilliant. I have yet to see somebody take me up on my zombie Smurf idea, but this will do in a pinch. Found via Boing Boing. Categorized as: Coffee

09.24.05 by Widge @ 4:50 am  It's about damn time somebody started hacking coffee machines. Granted, the machine is a Wittenborg FB7100 and we've never been, to our knowledge, anywhere near one...but it's the principle of the thing, dammit. Found via MAKE Blog and image from our previous Coffee Pirates post because we just dig it. Categorized as: Coffee

06.03.04 by Widge @ 11:25 am  The following report was filed from the SCAA Conference & Exhibition in Atlanta, held 23-26 April 2004. When I arrived on Friday, I saw on the schedule that the exhibition hall was prepping all day Friday and then until noon on Saturday. What in the high holy hell can take so long, I wondered. Then I looked into the exhibit hall of this portion of the Georgia World Congress Center and my bottom jaw did a Tex Avery ricochet off the floor. Eighteen rows of booths being set up: giant crates, machines, a ginormous cherry picker setting up stuff in the ceiling--this was going to be amazing. I was going to need reinforcements. Before I left that day, I checked out some of the United States Barista Championships. Apparently the winner goes off to the world championship in Italy later on. I was a bit offended I hadn't been asked to judge--I who probably funded a good chunk of the conference considering the money I put into this industry through my own consumption.
