Sue and Art Cohen always take their coffee to go — and they need the towing capacity of a Ford F-150 to do it.

The Squirrel Hill couple serves java out of a 12-foot-tall, 8-foot-wide moka pot. There’s room for two people inside the enormous stovetop espresso maker, which kicked off its first full season on Saturday outside of Alternate Histories in Greenfield.

People lined up to get La Prima-brand coffee and Enrico Biscotti from a percolator that could keep Godzilla caffeinated for weeks.

You can find Silver Perk Coffee Co. by following their Instagram page or keep your eyes peeled for “steam” billowing from the spout. (The Cohens figured if they were going to spend their golden years in an aluminum moka pot, they might as well go full throttle and install a smoke machine.)

Sue is a psychotherapist (a service I think they should add to the business) and Art was in the catering business for a quarter century.

“I thought I was retired. After about a month, I realized I couldn’t,” he says with a laugh. “My wife and I both love coffee, and this is something we could do together on our own time.”

But where does one find a colossal coffee pot? It’s not like Home Depot stocks them next to the giant skeletons.

The Cohens saw a similar concept while they were in Florida and, after some internet research, enlisted the help of Gary Mazurowski of Cleveland Custom Trucks.

After dabbling in the culinary arts, the longtime metalworker decided to build his own food truck. He soon realized he’d make more money making and selling them than operating one.

Since 2013, Mazurowski has fabricated hundreds of food trucks that are essentially big rolling boxes. Silver Perk’s pot took him about a year to build, but he enjoyed the challenge and hopes to tackle more unique projects.

I’m a fan of programmatic architecture and novelty vehicles, especially when they dispense food and beverages. From The Snowman in Portersville, Pa. to the free-wheeling Divine Swine barbecue pig rig, bigger is better.

I wonder if Mazurowski can make me a massive coffee mug.
