Ristretto coffee mouse brings the beans and the ugly

by Darren Murph posted Feb 8th 2007 at 10:45AM

Thankfully for us, the world's ugliest phone has already been faced and dealt with, and while we've seen quite a few unique mice in our day, this one practically roasts the compoetition for the most unsightly. The Ristretto coffee mouse is a minature critter designed for -- c'mon, you got this -- mousing about in your favorite beanery or java shop, and while we suppose you could view this as a symbol of your unwavering love for entirely overpriced cups of caffine and sugar, we doubt it'll score you any solid conversations outside of awkward Amway plugs. Still, these devices appear to be at least somewhat hand-crafted, as the designer has a bevy of custom desgined models for show, and while we've no idea where you could spend your hard-earned dough on this thing, this looks like a private DIY project ~~at its finest~~ at best.

Why would a person who does macrame, jewelry making, beading, macaroni sculpture, or the like, insist that they would excel at industrial design?
I hate to go off on the creator, I mean this is a cute idea, but one seemingly inspired more by crack then coffee.

Highly Ranked

I'm pretty sure I made one of these this morning, but I remembered to flush.

You know, this probably looks brilliantly tasty and well worked-out to someone. And.. I think I'm at least slightly glad I'm not that someone.

That's not a mouse...it's a roach!

Thank god, it's only a desktop version; otherwise, it would be a laptop roach...and mobile, too!!

That's a real fun to see, how the tone of an article can deprive
some readers of their own attitudes and opinions. :)

Maybe it's a good idea to consult the source first?
