How in THE hell did it manage to get into what should be an enclosed space?
For the record, the coffee I am serving this morning is absolutely free of mammals, flying or otherwise.

Unfortunately, I've heard of roaches (in FL, of course) in the coffee filter, but never THIS! Bleah, blech, ptttu, and brackkkk... (shivers)

Did this happen in Gotham City?

Quick, Robin! To the Bat Cafe!
Posted by: Mike Marsh | September 28, 2008 at 11:39 AM
This is exactly why I don't drink coffee! I have been warning people for years about the dangers of drinking that stuff, and this is just one of them. I'd tell my parents, "You shouldn't drink that. You never know if a bat has gotten into your coffee filter."

On the plus side, the company is now selling new "Coffee Maker Bat Traps". Bats go in, but they don't come out, thus saving yourself the trouble of exterminating the creatures, and have yourself a fresh cup of coffee to get your day started right!"

Schade -- seems to me it could happen with that Postum stuff, too... ;-)

Poor bat must not have found a bra to sleep it off in.

Wow, mosquito-free coffee!

Oh, with bat-free milk, thanks.

New Starbucks flavor: Bataccino.
From now on, she'll order the "debatinated".
On the plus side, she can now see really well in the dark and has already chosen her Halloween costume.

We've replaced these diners' Folgers Crystals with coffee made from bats. Will they notice the difference? We'll ask them as soon as they stop retching...
Posted by: Lairbo | September 28, 2008 at 01:17 PM

Slinks in®
For Lairbo.
For Siouxie. (Technically, they are mice, but when I saw these in a mall yesterday, you came to mind.)
Posted by: Cat R | September 28, 2008 at 02:20 PM
Gee, guess she'll have to brew the coffee in the morning like the rest of us from now on.

By coincidence we were watching an episode of One Foot in the Grave last night where a cat got in the Meldrews' freezer and died there!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 28, 2008 at 02:25 PM
watch me pull a bat out of my coffee pot..... ewwwwwww. double latte-ewwww.
Posted by: queensbee | September 28, 2008 at 03:02 PM
Considering some of the previous posts about coffee, which would you rather drink if forced to? The monkey $h!t coffee, or the bat carcass coffee? I'm thinking the rabies shots would be worth it.
Posted by: Margaritaville | September 28, 2008 at 03:14 PM
Or was it cat $h!t coffee? I can't remember. All I know is they collected the beans from some form of animal turd and made coffee with it.
Posted by: Margaritaville | September 28, 2008 at 03:15 PM
Civet. (type of cat)
Posted by: Cat R | September 28, 2008 at 03:29 PM
I think I refuse to drink coffee from this moment forward... (Nods to M'ville and Cat R...) (RUNS to BR to RETCH GUTS OUT!!)
Posted by: frodolives | September 28, 2008 at 04:13 PM
Cat R: Why, yes. I would like change with that.
Posted by: Lairbo | September 28, 2008 at 05:25 PM
Cream with your coffee?
Posted by: frodolives | September 28, 2008 at 07:47 PM
Oh, man, it hurts to think about that bat's wake-up call. 8-(
Posted by: ScottMGS | September 28, 2008 at 09:32 PM
Big deal. My aunt smelled something dead for a couple of weeks every morning as she made breakfast. She decided to clean out her toaster one day and found a dead mouse at the bottom of it.
Posted by: kittyinasock | September 29, 2008 at 01:55 AM
ACKKKKK!!!!So how did the bat get in? My coffeemaker closes and won't brew properly with it open, timed or not (I'd have coffee all over the kitchen). Was she drunk or in the dark when she prepped the coffeemaker the night before? AACCCCKKKK again.....
