    You go for a ten day tramp (bush walk) in New Zealand, and you take your cute little stove top espresso maker with you - you turn the knob one way, and out comes steam to foam your milk - then you refill with coffee, and turn the knob the other way, and presto! Instant espresso! (is there such a thing?)
    Indeed, there are such things:



    Or you can do it in style and go for an Atomic ($300 - $800)

    You are far from home (and your own espresso machine) and you go to five different cafes in a row, and order the same coffee each time, until you can find one that makes it right!

    Your fists tighten every time someone says La Marzocca instead of La Marzocco ;P

    You open your desk drawer to get a pen to write yourself a note to order new shower screens. Theres no pen in sight, but you have a ten-pack of shower screens that you forgot about.

    Cheers,

    Luca

    You rationally and logically present your partner with an argument to justify spending $14k on a Synesso for home use, on the grounds that you wont have to upgrade again.....soon.

    when you spend every evening for three weeks fixing your newly acquired second hand machine then drill a hole in the kitchen bench for it and fit a twin cartridge filtration system to protect your baby...

    you start talking, again, about the wonders of roasting your own beans and your partners eyes glaze over and you can see that they are bored sh**less.

    Your host is embarrased to offer you instant coffee and you are embarrassed that you are snob enough that you wont drink it.
    Or alternatively they dont even bother to offer the instant because they know what the response will be. : ;D

    Another one for you...

    You know youre a coffee snob when...

    You walk into the roasters to pick up some beans and he points at the coffee machine and says "Quick! Get behind the machine and watch the barista at work!" ;D

    or

    You know youre a coffee snob when...

    You avoid certain franchised coffee places like the plague.

    and

    You know youre a coffee snob when...

    Your host is embarrased to offer you instant coffee and you are embarrassed that you are snob enough that you wont drink it.

    (Yep. These are recent experiences! )
