This is awesome. Anyone remember that simpsons episode where Homer eats the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper, goes all trippy, and discovers himself?
Forget Guatemala! According to CNN, the inmates of the HillsoborughCounty Jail are making hot sauce – and you can buy some from www.jailhousefire.org. Don’t be surprised if you find a sprinkle of crack in there, though! I mean…it is prison and this ain’t no license plate!
Not sure how appropriate the Ad campaign is, but…whatever.
So according to our all-knowing and extremely handsome reader Elhanan, apparently there are actually a couple of companies that make this type of coffee maker. Remember – every day is an opportunity to learn something, kids.
The beautiful baby above is the Eagle model from Bezzera – http://www.g.bezzera.it/prodotti_ing/eagle.html. The looker below can also find be purchased brand new from Elektra at – http://www.elektrasrl.com/belle_epoque_2grel_ro.php. In fact, they have several models depending on whether you want one that is chromed out, gold, old-timey gold, or old-timey chrome. Coffee in STYLE baby:
Now, the ‘Merikan in me has gotta wonder what these Italian companies are doing putting images of my National Hero/Bird on their coffee makers. Who do they think they are? It doesn’t make sense anyway – like their crazy, human brain eating, robot coffee makers could possibly escape the wrath of Majestic Bald Eagle Talons. Pssshtt! As if!
Those who know me know that I certainly enjoy a delicious cup of coffee every once in a while (every day, all day). So imagine my glee when I stumbled into a coffee shop at the corner of Touro and Royal St in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans (this place apparently doesn’t actually exist since it is impossible to find on Google maps/anywhere on the interwebs). Before me stood the coolest coffee maker…ever.
I asked the girl working at the shop where they got this thing – apparently it had been used for years as a movie prop and the owner found it, fixed it, and now uses it to make one mean cup -o- joe.
This place also definitely had a great vibe…
