A new coffee machine

Great news, clear the frontpages...

The office has got a new coffee machine. The old one had its service lamp blinking for at least 9 months - so it probably was due for a major overhaul.

The new one is very much like the old one - except for the bit with the service lamp. To be fair, it's also noticeably cleaner, the filter holder is black plastic (which probably hides month-old coffee coatings better than the previous metal one), it seems quicker to brew a pot of coffee and the second heat plate on top - which may hold an extra pot warm until the coffee really, really is reduced to syrup-like consistency and foul bitterness - actually works.

Oh - and it's got a little knife-thingy on the side so you don't have to dive into the drawers for unsafe sharp instruments to open the pre-measured bag of coffee that goes into the filter.

The coffee is about as lousy as ever... ;)
