David Lynch’s Bizarre Espresso Maker Will get Taken for a Check Drive

David Lynch beloved his cof­payment. For many years, the movie­mak­er let cof­payment gasoline his cre­ativ­i­ty, drink­ing 5, six, even sev­en cups per day at Bob’s Huge Boy. Well-known­ly, Lynch cel­e­brat­ed cof­payment in Twin Peaks (remem­ber the road, “That’s a rattling fantastic cup of cof­payment!”), and lat­er direct­ed a complete mini-sea­son of Twin Peaks within the type of Japan­ese cof­payment com­mer­cials. Then, in 2006, the direc­tor launched his personal line of organ­ic cof­payment, bought at Entire Meals.

When the movie­mak­er died this previous Jan­u­ary, he left behind no quick­age of cof­payment paraphernalia—starting from a high-end La Mar­zoc­co espres­so machine to some run-of-the-mill units. Take, for examination­ple, a good­ly ordi­nary “Mr. Cof­payment” cof­payment mak­er that bought at auc­tion for $4,550. Or a Seventies elec­tric espres­so mak­er manufactured from met­al and orange plas­tic. Above, the cof­payment con­nois­seur James Hoff­mann takes the orange machine for a check dri­ve. (He paid close to­ly $2,000 for it, in spite of everything.) As for the ver­dict — no spoil­ers right here. You’ll should see on your­self.
