When your NRA club has a gathering, using a traditional burr or blade grinder to make the grounds for coffee just won't do. Instead, the guests will be impressed when you pulverize the beans by smashing them together at high velocity. This Coffee Smasher consists of two high powered air rifles aimed directly at one another, and positioned such that the pair of simultaneously shot coffee beans collide inside a clear polycarbonate sphere. Pull the trigger quickly to demonstrate individual shots, or hold it longer to fire bursts. Once sufficient coffee powder has been produced, open the sphere and use the badger hair duster to brush it into the coffee maker.

Careful adjustment would provide graduated degrees of roast. For entertainment purposes, very high velocities should produce ignition of the powder resulting in explosions that would appeal to the NRA crowd. <link>-- Whistlebritches, Sep 08 2011 I'm with [DIYMatt], where's the accelerator?!-- theleopard, Sep 08 2011 For Leo and DIY, see the linked Google Cache record.-- swimswim, Sep 08 2011 Coffee cannon.
