The cafeteria in my workplace has a sophisticated bells and whistles machine which happens to dispense coffee at times. No wonder, this machine will end your coffee drinking habits. I always had a small hunch that this machine was originally invented for caffeine de-addiction.
The machine comes with fancy menu buttons like "Espresso", "Latte Macchiato," "Capuccino", "Decaf" etc that are internally wired up so that the default reaction of the taste buds is always "yuck" , no matter what buttons you press. The only menu that delivers as promised is "Hot water".
The level of sophistication is mindblowing - the milk is fed in separately from a refrigerated chamber , while the required quantity of coffee bean is crushed and extracted every time someone mistakes this gadget for a coffee dispenser. There are also options to set the correct temperature, pressure, gamma radiation constant, boiling point, freezing point etc of the dispensed fluid. There is also an user friendly LCD screen to display lame excuses for not being able to dispense coffee at times- like "Coffee bean dispenser jammed", "Water is not hot", "Please use only buffalo milk", "Try later. Very busy now", "User horroscope mismatch" etc.
All this circus for a cup of hot south Indian filter coffee.
