What the hell type of coffee maker is so big it can crush you? This is why I stick with this maker....

A Chicago coffee expert has died after being crushed to death when a brewing machine he was trying to dismantle fell on him.

Jim Karr was a popular coffee guru who had been director of brewing technology of the city's Intelligenstia for years.

The 48-year-old had been trying to dismantle a commercial-grade coffee maker after an outside event at the city when he was crushed.

...and this is where the line goes,

"And he died doing what he loved the most"

playing with his coffee machine...

Within hours, news of Karr's death spread across the country's coffee community. Nicholas Cho, of Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters, which is located in the San Francisco Bay area, said everyone in the industry knew of Karr.

"In terms of the work Jim did, he was one of the very few in the country that was known as being a top expert at what he did," Cho said.

Cho described Karr as soft-spoken and easy to get along with but also very intelligent and passionate about his craft.

Might this be "the killer"?
