Swords into ploughshares

I just stumbled across this article and I thought it was really cool.

I really wish I could afford one of these, not because I love coffee so much as I'd like to support this kind of business!

... my immediate thought was "Sword wants to change his login name again??"

I would love to own a coffee machine made from a mortar round! Though, I think my wife would kill me if I spent a grand on a coffee machine. But man - I do loves my coffee. :D

I think it's a great idea and if I were a wealthier person (and a coffee drinker) I'd seriously look into getting one.

Coffee drinkers unite!

Hey, if we pool our resources, maybe we can buy one for the FR breakroom. :thumbup:

That would be an improvement from using Dr. Man-Bot's old metal boot. ^_^

two things: one, this is really cool, and two, I don't want to change my username. Ploughshares isn't all that threatening.

I have to confess I (too) misread the title of this thread. I thought it was a discussion group about our friend Sword's new agricultural interests.

Good cause though certainly
