Coffee breath. The downfall of the modern man. And possibly the modern vehicle. The Carpuccino is a 1988 VW Scirocco which has been modified to run off of coffee. Apparently this bad boy will run three miles per kilogram of ground coffee, making it oddly similar to the run time of an average human being. That’s about 56 espressos a mile. According to UK sources, driving the Carpuccino will cost about 50 times as much as it would cost to... Continue reading

Earlier, Ryan spotted some DIY speakers made from paper cups and a pair of headphones. Now Arms22 is one-upping designer Dimitry Zagga with speakers made from Starbucks cups.

If you’re one of those trendy little shits that camps out at Starbucks to steal their WiFi, you know that the cafes are crowded with others just like you. Notebooks in hand, ready for some free Internet access. A few pranksters from the comedy troupe Improv Everywhere set up house at a Starbucks, fully equipped with full desktop computers and monitors in hand. To our surprise, the pranksters weren’t thrown out of the coffee lounge. Probably due to the audience... Continue reading

One cup of coffee sometimes isn’t enough. In this case, it might be too much, but who knows? This really, really big coffee mug would be enough to last some people at least halfway through the day. Imagine the look on their faces after you walk into Starbucks and say “Fill ‘er up.” Would it be more expensive to do that or fill your gas tank? I guess it depends which you need more. Get your own huge mug for... Continue reading
