All that is wrong in the world, in just one machine...

So - a new coffee machine has arrived in the office. It has a touch screen colour LCD display with animated graphics showing the progress of each step of the process of making coffee and a 30 page instruction manual. It is significantly slower than the 2 button machine it replaced and the coffee is no different. It is also about 3 times the size so there is no room left to sit at the breakfast bar.
And it must make noises like a mortally wounded elephant. That's all part of the ongoing contest how far we can push the addicts before they protest. :-)

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns. -

From the same website in the post below[^]. As if they predicted all the problems CPians would face. Mr. Maunder's another business?

Step 2: Tell the addicts that the special flavor they miss from the old machine actually came from the moldy remains of old coffee powder.

I bought a new Keurig ( I know, blasphemy) with all the bells and whistles, and it is far worse then the first model they made year's ago. New technology is not always the best way to go. Sometimes things need to be done/consumed the way they were done 100's of years ago, if not thousands of years ago. :sigh:

This is why I use a French Press / Cafetière for my coffee needs!

So...have you got the IoT hooks figured out on it yet? You know it has them.

Yeah. I'm thinking about going back to that way of making coffee again. A little more time involved, but totally worth it.

We had our simple filter home coffee machine replaced with a huge "industrial" coffee machine once. We all complained and less than a week passed and it was removed and our old coffee machine was put back (as well as our simple espresso machine that only I use). POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!
I'd rather be phishing!

Hmm, OG I am guessing that me admitting to Instant Coffee is NOT going to win me any points with you. But it is fast, easy, and there is ONLY a cup to clean. :)

You can drink what you like - even Ribena! :laugh: But I find instant coffee disappointing - it just doesn't taste right. It's like having a microwave burger when you wanted Steak au Poivre because it saves on washing up...
