Y'know, Mark, one thing I have noticed in my long and convoluted life
is that when a convert finds the One True Religion, such as coffee,
everyone else's sect is just *wrong*. In this case, roasting your own
coffee is the One True Religion, which allows you to discount Nexis'
espresso machine as "useless." Mark, you've been around here as long
as I have and you know I mean you no flame here. Just remember that we
all have our passions, and getting "serious" about *whatever* is in
the eye of the beholder. Just do not discount another's level of
seriousness or level of interest vis a vis your One True Religion.

I *love* my Capresso espresso maker - zaps espresso out two at a time
and allows everyone to have hot espresso within minutes after dinner.
No waiting :-)
