Being quite smug with my "high end" Sunbeam EM6910 (OK, ok, you can stifle your laughter now), I was visiting a new friend and he has a beautiful house.
Hes not much of a coffee enthusiast at all, as he only has a coffee every 2-3 days. Definitely not what youd call a coffee snob. However he has a beautiful designer home and everything is super expensive.
Anyway, we wander into the kitchen, and lo and behold, amongst the top shelf Miele dishwasher, rangehood and oven, a La Cimbali Junior is peeking out of the cupboard.
I nearly dropped my jaw in drool!

And this guy doesnt even know much about making coffees, except that his wife buys all the kit in the house and she just researches well and buys only the best, even if they dont use it.
Ah well, I had a small twinge of espresso machine envy then! ;D
Has anyone else had this sort of experience?
