Har! My K2 heat sink never gets warm to the touch. I like my coffee warmer
than that! Now, the KPA100... that heat sink IS on the top. Maybe they could
feature a cutout so a coffee cup would snuggle right into the heat sink
itself. When the coffee starts boiling it's time to start listening and
sipping a bit...
