Comments on this: just one. Add your own.  So: assassins and coffee. They go together like...um...cobblers and chicken pot pie. But regardless Nescafe is putting out a series of canned coffees with can art starring the assassin Duke Togo from Golgo 13. But why stop there? I want Léon the Professional on Starbucks Espresso Doubleshots. Who's with me? Categorized as: Coffee

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  What happens when you cross an angelic version of a Dalek with a steampunk coffee machine? This. You expect it to come sailing along the floor, with its plunger bestowing life-giving espresso. "Encaffeinate! Encaffeinate!" Or the like. But no, this is instead a badass espresso coffee machine that we found while catching up over at Brass Goggles. As a commenter over there pointed out, yes, they make home models as well. I don't see any prices listed. But it's just as well. "Your Left Kidney" is best left unsaid. Categorized as: Coffee

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  So Starbucks is soliciting ideas from its customer base with the promise that they'll take action based on popular demand. Free wifi and customer loyalty programs appear to be the overwhelming leaders so far, although I didn't dig far enough down into the running to see all the obligatory completely mental ones, like "Orbiting Laser Cannon Platforms" and "Monogrammed Foam" and "More Kenny G CDs." But I'm sure they must be there. I'm all for the free wifi. Not having ready access to T-Mobile hotspots is about the only thing I miss after having jumped ship on my cell phone plan. You can contribute your idea here. Categorized as: Coffee

Comments on this: just one. Add your own.  As part of our ongoing coverage of Worldwide Caffeine Appreciation Month, we offer up a link that provides some ways to defend yourself against nags who might try to get you to believe that you should go off coffee, the fools: Apparently coffee improves your short term memory, which indicates that I'm not drinking nearly enough of it. Did I mention that coffee improves your short term memory? And an important point here: Drinking 400mg of caffeine in one night isn't the healthiest thing you could be doing, but neither is shift work. Well done. Found via Lifehacker, where the comments are rather amusing. Image from Lileks' The Adventures of Mr. Coffee Nerves, which we mentioned previously. Categorized as: Coffee
