The picture might fool you into thinking that this device is some weird mis-shaped wood Gilligan’s Island phone, but it’s not. This is the HeartBeans coffee-grinder. A grinder for those who are slightly insane and intimately attached to their coffee. It operates according to the user’s heart-beats.

It’s made from quality mahogany, and has a built-in motor that is controlled by an apparatus that measures the pace of the beating heart. Included are some peripherals that bring the whole experience together and make it work. The design requires you to hold the grinder as if you are about to lovingly tongue your slab of wood. Since it operates on the heart-beats, it produces a different taste with each use, but never fear you WILL look like an idiot every time.
