What is this concept based on, or what's the target for this? Is it like a temporary or summer house? Is it just a place to come back for sleep? No current water nor electricity. On a rainy day/night the sound inside this will sound like you are living in a acoustic guitar. Not that I'm against this idea, but I am.
Ergonomic homes are awesome, but not this 3x3m box.


I am not sure if you watched the video, or read the description.. 'portable cube prefabs are being used across France as rural hotels','this vacation prefab was designed for stargazing', 'it's assumed they'll be used as vacation rentals'..

Also if it had a shower, toilet, electric fireplace and plugs for things like the coffeemaker.. and a working fridge, it does have running water and electricity.

I mostly agree with the fresh coffee theory. The best section in Whole Foods is undoubtedly the coffee booth/counter, with every bin marked with the roasting date, and none of the more than 3 days old. It's an amazing experience to go through and pick up 1/4 bags of 5-8 different coffees and compare them. The flavors will blow your socks off, if you're used to the normal commercial products.

Then, I remember Illy. Illy turns out some of the best tasting espresso I've ever made. Yet it's not actually fresh... That's when I get confused.

Sadly, my Jura espresso machine finally shot craps, and I'm not in a position to replace it right now (or even to buy a decent grinder, which was built into the Jura). So I'm back to a drip coffeemaker. After all, even bad coffee's better than none at all. The good news is, I found a remarkably good commercial coffee. Seattle's Best - Henry's Blend. Don't laugh, but I'd wear it even gets hints of the flavor of a real espresso...

My first purchase when things improve is definitely going to be a decent grinder, combined with an Aeropress...then I'll see if I still like the Seattle's Best as much as I do right now.
