It's a coal-fired Wolf-Ferrari Cappuccino machine capable of 10,000 psi steam pressure filtered through an industrial plunger using 5 pounds of coffee for each pint of finished product. Using sea water, the resulting elixir produced from this machine has 11,256 times the amount of caffeine found in regular coffee. Originally designed by a team of out-of-work Italians in the early 1950’s, it was constructed by German industrialists hoping to establish a new market for the flagging European coal industry. Considered too big and overpowered for home use, a prototype was finally made for use in the mining industry. Finding no real use for the behemoth, it floundered in an industrial stockyard for 46 years until discovered in 1997.
