Vietnamese facility caught producing coffee from used batteries

---

Cool! I didn’t know you could do that. And what a great way to recycle batteries. :-D

[Flatus I. Maximus]

Well, at least they aren’t making it from partially digested coffee beans picked out of civet cat poop.

Vietnam is also the home of the notorious Ba Mươi Ba (thirty-three) beer, said to have used formaldehyde as a preservative.

workshop bought rejected coffee beans from large facilities at a cheap price, ground and mixed them with other materials including dirt and rock dust, then used the black powder found inside D batteries to ‘dye’ the mixture to produce finished products.

Or as S.F. liberals call it, "Organic Fair Trade Coffee"

I’ve heard of coffee referred to battery acid before but this seems a bit extreme.

If they're making it out of battery materials it's a pretty safe bet that

IT'S GOT ELECTROLYTES!!

I like to recharge my batteries with a cup of joe. But this is taking things a little too literally.

“Dirty Coffee” sounds like it could be the latest coffee-snob/greenie fad in California: “It tastes earthy and is good for the earth too because it has earth in it ...”
