heh, still seems a novelty.

But can it make you a brew while your traveling

Since you can use the grounds AFTER they been used to make coffee (i.e. used grounds – dried) the cost should be next to nothing (like used fryer oil)

I guess you could say it runs on a Java platform.

If it runs on used grounds, it’s basically free – you just have to make friends with some baristas.

Bonus points for it looking a bit like the Back To The Future Delorean.

there’s alot of nitrogen in coffeegrounds. is that even necessary to the function of this car, or is it dependent on plant-oils..?
i think you’re better off planting Jatropha.
i wanted to plant coffee trees at one time, until i read that they take like 40 years to fully mature and start producing beans.
but if you can modify a vehicle to run on kudzu.. come to Mississippi, and take all the fucking kudzu you want. that shit is free, and it could terraform Mars. someone should drop some kudzubeans wherever they found water on the moon, see if it will grow in that lack of atmosphere.

@Hirudinea, you got’s yourself a yellow onion? Back during the war…

…That said, haven’t there been a shitton and a half of gasifier of late? I’ll admit this one is novel, but still…

@jim
there’s even a fan site for it’s stupidity:

I’m pretty sure Coffee is one of the highest yielding cash-per-square-foot crops around (legal ones), so this is the worst possible cost-per-mile for something that can basically take any organic junk. Like building everything in gold and then complaining how expensive it was.

A nice mk2 Scirocco ruined.

it uses USED coffee grinds. USED. but did they have to use a 16V scirocco? those are very scarce nowadays…

@NatureTM

That was not a fail, but a win.

I just saw this car on a street in Manchester just behind the Metropolitan University. It smells terrible! But looks great

Poor Scirocco? Ha… That car is BUTT ugly!

I saw this today in Manchester. The smell from it was quite awful!

What a very good document! I am seeking up stuff like this on yahoo the whole night, and this particular page made me grin!

poignant post. to be truthful i am not sure i understood it completely. but, wanted to step upand leave a comment anyway. are you a freelance writer by vocation?, because your posts are really good.

This would be my ultimate car. Am going to talk to my mechanic immediately about customising my Datsun.

I am staggered that this car can reach 60 mph! Bet it would wake you up in the morning though!

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
