Reverse Still-Suit Coffee Infuser

doesn't do much for the flavour

The standard still-suit is designed for hot arid planets; the Coffee Suit is designed for planets of eternal winter.

It wicks coffee *to* the skin, providing:

- warmth where it's needed;
- caffeine through absorption;
- a persistent aroma of whatever coffee is being used;
- a bit of colouration.

Comes with an optional Coffee-Maker Helmet.

       That tannin stain isn't coming out. Eventually you would have leather for skin.

       That's why he said you'd get a bit of coloration. But what a way to get a tan, though, right? [+]

       adsorption should be the terminology: a surface event. Pretty sure it wouldn't work very well, anyways, as the skin is a lipid layer and caffeine is water soluble. I guess it's worth a shot and I like the coffee tanning idea.

       it isn't tanning, it's an uneven brown stain that makes your skin tough and wrinkly.

       wait, what am i saying, it's a brilliant way to "tan"
WcW, Oct 08 2009
  

       //brilliant way to "tan"// technically that would be tea which we could do, but tea doesn't really have the pervasive odour coffee does.   

       //lipids// sweat ?
FlyingToaster, Oct 08 2009
  

       That's not entirely accurate, FT. Some teas have a very lasting and pervasive aroma. I guess it depends on what other ingredients are mixed in with it, though. Spiced black tea can be quite overpowering.
21 Quest, Oct 08 2009
  

       No need to be spiced or flavoured, 21Q. Really high end Chinese teas have a strong aroma that can fill a room. Not as pungent as coffee though, granted.

       In Russia, coffee drinks you.
