ok, ok, so they're not evil

thanks for all your nice emails and phone calls today, dear readers! avid followers of the new york times no doubt saw today the little article about superautomatic home espresso machines, where the reporter so kindly quoted me and many of bccy's closest coffee pals.

i'm really not as against superautos as the article makes me sound. they are great for the house-proud; for those with small children who don't want a lot of hot equipment around; for those with tiny kitchens; and for those who want a good cup of coffee but lack time in the morning.

i've played with a cute spidem divina myself in my own house. (thanks again to jim of 1st line!)

like all things in life, there's a trade-off between coffee quality and ease of use. you have to decide what's best for you. . . .
