Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My lovely espresso machine was a splurge, but one of the best ones I have ever made. Great coffee, I often consume a cup in place of a dessert. (Caffeine is much less harmful to me than sugar.)
After I retired, I realized that using my new found time to eat good food and drink was not only good for me in terms of health, but also in terms of my enjoyment of life. Like others above, I find that most gadgets are a waste of time - good basic tools are the most useful. But, the espresso machine is an exception to the rule.
There is a social aspect to the local coffee joint, and I do enjoy wandering down there for a cappuccino (they do it so much better than I do) and to see who is around for a chat.
