At the 2015 Seattle SCAA show, Charlie Burt, a journalist from Kansas, drank almost all the coffee at the show, which is not easy. Charlie tasted 10 cups of coffee made with different utensils in a few hours. In order to satisfy us "curious babies", he naturally recorded them with his camera. Let's take a look at these coffee artifacts! Some of these machines are not even on the market yet!
