That USB cable behind it makes it look like it’s wearing a comms headset.
Also, I keep seeing ‘Mud Pike’ and now can’t not see it

The S is there - hard to see - black-on-black…perhaps like “Illinois” you just aren’t supposed to pronounce it.

Hey, that’s not a MUDSPIKE coffee machine! … hmmmmmmm …
MUDSPIKE is the perfect marketing word for a bunch of stuff. Is a patent available on that word?
I can think of a whole line of tactical gear branded with that name.

A trademark I think, as a patent is an invention. If there is a type of fish already called Mud Pike of course

Actually, there is a manual.
But it’s not quite part A inserts into part B. And there are crates of motors, switches, valves, pipes, hoses, and fittings. Over the Summer, my 13 year old niece spent a few weeks unpacking and organizing the various parts into tall roll-around parts racks. Yeah, it’s a family business. Not shown are the boiler (delayed due to rains in Cali), chiller, grist mill, keg washer, keg filler, 20x20 ft cooler (needs assembly), thousands of empty kegs, laboratory, etc. We built a mini test system out of stainless kegs and had a rack fabricated. There are temperature controllers and control panels. In other words, it’s way more complicated than one can imagine.
Speaking of logo glass ware, our first run was delivered.

Technically, as I’m sure you all know, MUDSPIKE is a term invented by, I believe by the USAF, to denote a hostile SAM radar - Mud = Ground; Spike = the visible “spike” on the RHAW gear. I do not believe that the government can copyright such terms.
Thus if we are able to copyright/trademark the term, then yes, we could produce all kinds of “MUDSPIKE™” products…
… plus, anytime any US military aviator said “MUDSPIKE” over the radio (obviously as he was being “lit up” by an enemy SAM) we would get royalties! ChaChing!

You sure about that? “Mud” and “Spike” maybe, but not Mudspike.
