My Breville Cappuccino machine has lighted vandal proof switches and LED illuminated acrylic water reservoir. It's a PC Modder's dream caffeine machine!

Pavoni Pro + Conti Valerio grinder + Rwandan beans

Really? I usually go by the criteria:

- Is it black?
- Is it hot?
- Does it pour? (thus cleverly avoiding the Beyoncé-not-coffee trap)
- Does it make me jittery?

Hasn't failed me sofar...

You do need a coffee appreciation crash course ;)

Re: N800 vs iPod touch
 

(seriously, but only for a moment) I do understand people appreciating coffee or wine -- I happen to have a thing with beer (although real beer people don't have a truck with that p*ssy-talk about "maltiness" and "tastes of peet"; we just compare alcohol percentages and belch a lot) -- but I've tried coffee- and wine-tasting and they don't work for me.

I like good coffee and I can distinguish a fine espresso from yesterday's percolator leftover (not that it keeps me from downing aforementioned leftover if I'm jonesing!), but that's about it. Same thing for wine: Give me a fine merlot and some vinegar and I can name the right one every time.
