Another Giant Coffee Pot?!?

I told you how I was impressed by the size of this giant coffee pot in Kingsburg (actually, it is a water tower, not a coffee tower*) that I received on a postcard, and I drew it on the envelope I replied with. 


Heleen (the Netherlands) read the post and, accidentally, she become aware that it used to be an enormous coffee pot in Groningen (the Netherlands). It was only 10 metres tall, and was an advertisement for a coffee shop, installed in 1903 at the entrance of the 1903 Groninger Exhibition Industry and Art Industry. They made it again in 1948.

Heleen sent me this postcard with a matching stamp.




But I have recently received more coffee & tea related mail, like this aerogram sent by Laura (the UK):




And this winter expresso postcard:

*It’s a shame this enormous coffee pot doesn’t hold actual coffee. If the  pot could tilt, it could pour 1.28 million cups of coffee.
