The supersized option in a line of products is always funny for some reason.

Last week I chuckled upon seeing this online store's inventory of coffee makers: ...10 cups, 12 cups, 18 cups, 50(!) cups: https://www.bialetti.com/it_en/shop/coffee-makers.html?cups=...

(The 50 cups option turned out to be a decorative piece.)

Oversized things are fun in general. I’ve always loved Claes Oldenburg’s giant renditions of everyday objects.

It's a shame they didn't add a photo with another object for reference. Without looking at the price and dimensions, it looks pretty unassuming.

It's not even that large?

> Dimensions: 31.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 46.5 cm

I mean for a moka pot that's pretty large, but as a total size of an object? Maybe that's why they don't show it next to anything.

I managed to pick up a 22 lb Allen wrench/hex key for a good price a few months vack. Made for a great gag gift wrapped as a giant candy cane.

"Product designed solely for display purposes."

Sad. Although I am deeply amused that it's 'made' by Dolce and Gabbana.

Yeah, it's funny that they list how many cups this coffee maker could theoretically make if it were functional (and if you had a stove big enough, and were willing to risk damaging the no doubt hand painted artwork on your $3000 coffee maker).

Takeaway drinks, particularly coffee, have got so ludicrously large that it has me do a double take at times.

A litre of warm milk…

The 18 cup is good for car camping!
