    Ahh college. 10 to 1 that has Raman Noodles in it

  2. Thadius says:

    Note to self: Flash steaming coffee left me with one cup of extremely potent stuff. Head still spinning. Will try again on slightly lower setting next time so as not to scald hands quite so badly.

  4. Daniel says:

    Using the iron as a heat source is the least of it. Gotta love the pile to keep it upright.

    • dontbea says:

      Yeah, I don’t think the iron’s such a bad idea, especially if it’s a dorm or somewhere that you wouldn’t have a stove. (Those look like pergo floors to me.) But the pile is really scaring me. A little stability would be a good thing.

  5. MacGyver says:

    Does that shoe make this a Stench Press?

  6. treborx says:

    a cup of Joe and warm shoes. life is good. WIN!

  7. Brewski says:

    That’s a new wrinkle in coffee-making. I’d be hard-pressed to come up with a more clever solution.

  8. Anonymous Coward says:

    You mean iron is a good source of coffee.

  9. JB says:

    The new Ironman coffee maker by Marvel comic!

  10. Arr says:

    Didnt know coffee was a good source of iron? Looks like iron is a good source of coffee in this case.

  11. PragmaticCynic says:

    One wonders where the right shoe is. Is the coffee man walking around wearing only one shoe? Was the second shoe been ground down into the pot as the main ingredient? Is it being used to hold another rug over and support an iron that is making the toast? So many questions!

  12. Jompe71 says:

    At Starbucks I’ve heard combos like “Mocca-latte-non-fat-extra-syrup-whatever” orders.
    This is the first time I’ve seen a “Espresso-really-hot-regular-sweaty-sneaker-flavour”.

    This also works for Pizza!

  14. Steaming Pile says:

    My wife is a corrections officer, and she catches inmates doing this sort of thing all the time. Usually it’s grilled cheese sandwiches, though. The business end of an iron makes a handy hotplate.

    • kc/cc says:

      Why do inmates have access to irons, and if that is usual, why would they ever bother to construct a shiv from a plastic spoon? Because it’s too hard to sneak up on someone with an iron?

      • Anna Rexia says:

        The same reason they don’t use parts of their TVs. Plastic cutlery (see what I did there?) is plentiful, as are paper goods that can be rolled up tight, toothbrush handles, etc., and therefore expendable. It’s okay for that stuff to get taken away, but once back from a trip to the hole, they probably would like to have access to their iron and TV again.

        • kc/cc says:

          Rephrasing question: Why would you even need an iron? The police there are not the fashion kind. And I think human rights organizations will back me up when I say that wrinkled clothing is not a real concern in such a situation.

          • paulc says:

            1) some people , even on the inside, have standards… and
            2) press your suit for the court appearances as
            3) some people inside are not actually convicted yet, merely held on bail

    “barista, my espresso smells …..odd.”

    “Thanks mom, these new tennis shoes are smokin”!”

  17. Czernobog says:

    Nothing like a steamin’ cup of joe in the morning.

  18. Sihaya says:

    After you’ve poured yourself a cup, you fill up the iron with milk and then hit the “steam” setting – perfect cappucino every time!

  19. Dogmeat says:

    The name and rules for it vary from place to place, but what we have here is nothing more than some household items getting together and engaging in a friendly game of Buck Buck.

  20. marcos assis says:

    a shoes balm!
    and wow! it’s also a shoes warmer???
    i’ll would love my shoes smelling cofee opposite to my malodorousness!
    that’s how it works:
    the first absent-minded person who kick that stuff on the way will have nice cofee smelling hot shoes!!!

  22. Kana says:

    I think the coffee’s heating the iron. The fixer’s going to need it, what with the coffee stains that are most likely all over the rug.

  23. MaxArt says:

    Some “fixings” of this blog are often strange works that we don’t actually have a clue for what those are.
    But this is defintely an epic fix!

  24. Anna Rexia says:

    I could handle going to work with wrinkled clothes, but no way could I get there without my coffee.

  25. TexasDan says:

    Because when you set exposed, scorching bits of metal on the floor, it’s a fantastic idea to remove your shoes first.

  26. mindmelda says:

    The caffeine equivalent of cooking heroin over a cigarette lighter in a spoon. I guess someone needs their fix really badly.

  27. K says:

    The drunken bacon ironing society strikes again.

    No, seriously, google it. Drunken bacon ironing society. I’m not kidding.

  28. Jimofoz says:

    I used to do that in military barracks pretty often. We’d put some aluminum foil down and cook hot dogs on it.

  29. ReverendTed says:

    In Soviet Russia, iron is a good source of espresso!

  30. GrapeSoda says:

    5:30am: arright honey I’m goin for my morning run!
    (snore response)
    ah guess she too busy gettin her beauty sleep
    5:31am: AAAAAUUUUGH!!! WHAT THE…….?? WHO THE…..??? HOW THE….??? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY RIGHT SHOE????
    (maniac laughter from the bedroom)

  31. dono1 says:

    “Here at Kludgeco, we put the ‘press’ back into espresso.”

  32. Caitlin says:

    That is someone with a serious coffee jones!

  33. Ja says:

    That would work.

  34. Bildo says:

    I can’t even walk until I’ve had my morning coffee…

  35. Ant says:

    Oh my god this is actually a really good idea!

    Scott Adams _Dilbert_ cartoon: evil accountant, rejecting an expense claim for a meal: “You’re supposed to stun a pidgeon and cook it on your travel iron.” Dilbert: “I tried, but it was taking too long.” Evil accountant: “Use the ‘wool’ setting.”

  37. DrFreemanstein says:

    This makes me wish I had taken pictures when I was in college 12 years ago…I used to use an iron as a hotplate to heat canned food and boil water all the time (I lived in a shared house with an elderly landlady, which meant I couldn’t use the kitchen late at night without pissing her off!)…I made a stand out of a box and coathangers to keep mine upright!

  38. chuck says:

    Well…the hotel brochure did say coffee service in every room…
