For the coffee lovers in my life

This should be required viewing for everyone in my office, especially since they just added an espresso machine to the kitchen area near where I sit:

Clicky clicky - couldn't get it to embed. 

No worries, it's work-safe.  :)

I cannot imagine how fast I could type if I had easy access to an espresso machine here at my office :)

So, is it a real espresso machine, or one of those mixey type machines like at QuikTrip?

Ohhh, it's niiice. It's the Jura Capresso Impressa Z5. Something like a $3500 machine that makes cappuccino, espresso, regular coffee (with a nice layer of crema), latte, or just plain ol' hot water. Grinds the beans fresh for every cup, pulls milk from a side thermos that stays cold for 8 hrs, etc. None of that powdered mix crap that sits inside the QT models. They got it for nearly half the cost, as it was a refurbished model, but we are all soooooo spoiled by it now, heh.

Oh, I am in genuine physical pain right now. Holy shit that's a nice piece of equipment. My brewed coffeemaker at home is a Capresso, and I love it.

I could do some serious damage with that thing. Is your company hiring, especially not-quite-over-the-hill ASP programmers? I might be in the market before the year is out...

Umm...I think we're always hiring on the engineer side, heh. :) And don't sell yourself as only ASP...you know you'd pick up any other language very quickly once tasked with something to accomplish. ;)
