Indiatlantic, Florida residents woke up this morning to an usual sight: thousands of coffee cans littering their beachfront.
As reported by local news outlet FloridaToday, the bright yellow and red Cafe Bustelo cans began to wash ashore overnight, and continued to appear throughout the morning.
The vacuum-sealed containers attracted the attention of local caffeine fiends, who were spotted collecting the coffee by the bagful.
Authorities believe that the coffee originated on the Puerto Rico-bound shipping vessel Columbia Elizabeth, which lost as many as 25 shipping containers earlier this week. According to the Sun Sentinel, the lost cargo may include a potentially hazardous load of batteries; the Coast Guard is actively investigating the incident.
Coffee is a beach.

Dagum young whippersnapper beat me!
I must be getting older.
That’s what I was wondering.
Wreckage of the El Faro?
You’re going to be roasted.....................
It’s relatively cheap here, in cans and bags. All K-cups are expensive......................
For a good strong coffee time, dial 1 800 Bustelo.
GOOD ONE!..................................(took me awhile).................
Dangit it- and here I just sold my empty coffee can business- talk about dirty rotten timing-
...........and you can strip paint with it!....................
How come cargoes of Moet & Chandon never get ‘lost’?.....................
or crates of Lamborghinis- I never stumble across lost Lamborghinis- I was just born unlucky I guess
“A woman asked me to go to the beach for coffee. Turned out she really meant coffee!”
Bustelo - the all purpose coffee!
Escaping from Cuba...?
Several shipping containers fell off a barge on Sunday. The Columbia Elizabeth was en route from Port Canaveral to P.R. and lost the cargo before reaching the Port of Palm Beach.
