Coffee, a wonderful start to the day, is also a popular art medium. Now, coffee has graduated from analog to digital, with the Coffee Drip Printer.

Brought to us by Ted Kinsman, the printer borrows from the technique of pointillism. Dispensing its ‘ink’ one drop at a time in varying sizes, along with coffee’s natural hues, give each print its tonal qualities.

Although, any colored liquid can be used to create some point-art, coffee would be better for anyone looking to lay down some earth tones. I hear that drinking coffee ink will also help make mornings tolerable.
