So the famous cappuccino coffee gradually makes people forget its original meaning. Now the cappuccino has another meaning, the Car-puccino, a car powered by coffee. Maybe a few years later, when it comes to cappuccinos, people think of cars that smell like coffee.

This is no joke. Under the influence of Top Gear's three nonsensical colleagues, BBC one host Stansfield created such a cappuccino in his home and completed the 338km maiden voyage.

The new energy car is based on the cool car made in 1988, with raw material buckets and heating devices installed in the trunk. The raw material bucket is not coffee beans (brewing coffee is much more expensive than gasoline), but coffee grounds left over from brewing coffee. Coffee grounds are heated to produce combustible gas, which is powered by pipes mounted on the roof of the car to the engine. Why do you want to use coffee grounds as a power source? He quoted him as saying, "my mother used to use coffee grounds to ward off pests that steal carrots." So I had an idea. Thousands of kilograms of coffee grounds were poured out every day, and I thought I might be able to do something with it. " Using waste to get energy, Stansfield is worthy of the host of popular science programs, and this coffee car is environmentally friendly enough for new energy vehicles.

After completion, Stansfield began to drive the first journey from London to Manchester. The coffee truck on the highway can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour and seems to be very feasible, but the fragile power system needs constant maintenance. Coffee grounds should be filled every 64 kilometers, and the engine temperature should be more careful when there is a traffic jam.

After 17 hours of careful care, Chebuchino successfully arrived in Manchester, using 70 kilograms of coffee grounds, the equivalent of 11760 cups of espresso. Stansfield was warmly welcomed by the local people when he arrived at the finish line, and maybe people were actually waiting for Stansfield's coffee car to hand out free coffee to them.
