Coffee isn't just meant for powering our mornings - it can now power our homes as well. In October, Dunkin' Donuts revealed the first-ever home to run on coffee, a 275-square-foot structure with a full kitchen, bathroom, and king size bed.
The home was first unveiled in New York City, before being made available to rent in Nahant, Massachusetts, a town just outside Boston.
The home was formerly listed on Airbnb, where reservations immediately filled up. Bookings were limited to two guests, who received unlimited access to coffee - all for the low price of $10 a night.
There's still a chance to see it for yourself, thanks to photos and a 3D tour. Take a look inside.
To come up with a coffee-powered energy system, Dunkin' partnered with Blue Marble Biomaterials, a company that takes wasted resources and converts them to fuel.
Blue Marble took the oil from 65,000 pounds of coffee grounds and converted it into biofuel.
