    Re: Had to happen.....

    I Guess its a smart/clever idea but like many items around there are more drawbacks than benefits.
    Printing a document requires you to phisically move the ink across the paper???
    Hopefully Mk II version will see it automatic and a decent holder for coffee grounds.

    But then again, i wouldnt buy one anyway until it could do the equivalent of what my current printers can do.

      That wasnt really the point Mal,

      Just that someone is trying to do this seemed great ;D

        I dont disagree that the idea is good and great for environment etc. etc. but lets face it, it has a practicallity value of about 2/10. Almost like fly screens on a sub.

        A little more development and they could be onto something.

            I can see it now, posts on what grinder setting for coffee letters!?! ;D

            Could it be the new coffee bag? Simply add water strain out the paper!

            New forum: Lettering notes.

            Maybe it will work for green beans as well? Could smuggle in some green Kopi Luwak into the country. ;D

            ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

              Given that coffee has been used to mask the smell of drugs from sniffer dogs, such letters may attract unwarranted attention from PO or customs officials :-[ ;D

                I dont think that ever worked.
                Even so, these days they detect drugs in many ways.
                I recently saw an episode of Border Security where they x-rayed the bags of a suspicious tourist which, turned out to have coffee over it to try and mask the drugs.

                  Speaking from experience TG?? ;D

                  I was going to add a "From what I heard.." line before it because I wasnt sure if it was fact, urban myth or Hollywood" but it tends to detract from the potential humour of the post

                  Disclaimer: Note the use of potential humour because I know what your next post will be :P

                  Irony: This is not a disclaimer.
