here's my contribution. please forgive the hilariously low resolution. this is taken with my only digital camera, the "vivitar capture 35" a hybrid digital/35mm thing that i bought on a whim. i had to buy it just to support the idea of hybrid cameras in general.

can anyone identify the rangefinder?
Hybrid? What is it , a phone tha uses film?:eek:
 
Dave, where is the coffee in the cup ?

Here is my coffee break - I like my coffee manual … fully manual that is ;-)
When all people, I know get themselves plastic made espresso machines in the thousands of EUR, I cook them away with my old trusty LaPavoni - makes the best coffee and has survived several generations of Juras, Saecos and others, that broke to pieces in other households.

This is the long, long wanted MP, preserved with some pictures for reference before using it in.
 
I like my camera gear black and my coffee equipment chrome :D

Sorry for the poor phone picture.

Fully understandable Jeremy ;-)

I could use one of the grinders, as I have a serious issue with consistency of grind level from the friendly Starbucks staffs, who help me out with ground coffee.

Yeah, too many people underestimate the importance of the grind consistency in making espresso or even french press.

I only ever intended to have the espresso grinder and the french press grinder, but as the old cuisinart wore out (giving me a more and more inconsistent grind) I replaced it and demoted it to a dedicated decaf grinder.

Which might be caused, that most people don't understand, how a good "coffee grinder" can cost as equal or more than an already well made mechanical espresso machine!

I was reluctant, to source one of the nice ones, as per my residency in China and very strange import taxing, but the point of need grows bigger every time, I open the bag and find coffee grained as coal bricks or coffee dust - both of which are entirely unusable for the machine.
