I must say I’m liking what Evil Mad Scientist has been doing recently, such as this fine creation: a coffee bean cooler.
If you tend to buy ready-brewed coffee at Starbucks, buy ready-ground beans for use at home, or (shock) drink instant coffee, you might wonder what all the fuss is about.
However, if you take the trouble to roast your own beans, you might actually need some way to cool them down afterwards (they continue roasting for as long as they’re hot, apparently).
Well, EMS now uses two hot-air popcorn makers. One roasts the beans and the other has been modified to cool them down afterwards. I’m sure you can get dedicated machines to do all this, but what would be the fun in that?
The great thing is that hot-air popcorn makers aren’t really good at making popcorn (oil and pan method makes proper though slightly less healthy popcorn) but they sound as if they’re great at cooking up coffee beans!
You see what we’ll do for a decent cup of coffee?
I’ll stick to my low-tech metal strainer and spray bottle, thank you very much. Talk about pointless overdesign.
I guess it’s as much about “because we can” as anything else. At least it doesn’t have an Apple badge on it :)
More information about your product please. I am a bit confuse. Have to clear your thought up and know what are you really pointing out.
