It’s interesting how we forget the technologies that surround us. As we do this we rename them. In the fifties, for example, everything was Electro this and Electro that. In the nineties it was all e this and cyber that and those dot com. As we got used to electricity and computers we dropped the electros and the e-cyber dot coms. Perhaps the strangest, forgotten thingamabob is the coffee robot. These days we just call them coffee makers.
But make no mistake – Right now you have a robot in your kitchen. It might not look like one but draw a face on it and you’ll see a whole new side of your little friend. You’ll realize that you’re drinking the healthful excretions of a machine. It’s sort of like sucking on the welcoming teat of a magic cow. Except that coffee is better than milk. It makes you more open minded and does a bunch of other good things too. Milk is just sort of gross. And cows are idiots.
Do you really want a cup of idiot juice? I thought not. Have a steaming mug of robot piss instead.

Wouldn’t coffee be robot diarrhea? It’s brown and it comes from a solid (coffee grounds).
