Mixing hot water with a moving vehicle is probably not the smartest idea ever, but that didn’t deter German company Hertella from producing and marketing a coffee machine specifically designed for the Volkswagen Beetle.
The Hertella-Auto Kaffeemaschine could be mounted straight onto the dash of a ’59 Beetle, providing occupants with a steaming hot cup of coffee as and when they desired.
The Kaffeemaschine as having no on/off switch. When ready, the coffee dispenses straight into a porcelain cup fitted with a metal base that attaches magnetically to the Kaffeemaschine helping to keep things secure and safe.
Little known is of the Hertella coffee maker, only that it was available in either 6- or 12-volt versions and that it cost DM65 (Deutschmarks). For context, the price of a new Beetle in 1959 was DM3790.
