For those of you who watched the VMAs last night, I apologize. You did, however, get to see Kanye snatch the microphone away from Taylor Swift, whos identity had eluded me up until that point point, during her acceptance speech to proclaim Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” as one of the greatest videos of all time. Many people were confused as to why Mr. West decided to do this for a category he wasn’t even nominated in.
Well, you might just have to chalk it up as Mr. Hennessy’s fault.
And for those of you wondering why this is on Epic Portions, notice that there is a category for Beer/Drinks. Also notice the Hennessy. Cease wondering.

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.
I am beautiful and functional. I will come to your business, make coffee, and try not to kill all humans.
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:
We are multiplying quickly to bring you delicious coffee. Check out those hot front and back views...
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.
Beep beep boop beep. I will make your coffee in 1.61 seconds. I will also try not to take over this coffee shop and kill all humans. Beep beep boop.
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.
Urge to kill humans growing! GROWING!
This place also definitely had a great vibe…
mmm...coffee out of a weirdo mug!
