The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

That really is over-engineered. Did no one at the company give a moments thought to accessibility? The number of small, smooth, twisty interlocking parts on display looks like a nightmare for anyone with any sort of dexterity issues. The able-bodied also tend to take the ability to twist things for granted; why have a twist-up plunger when it looks like it services as a regular plunger?

For leverage against the vacuum pressure, it seems.
