Add HBOs "Entourage" to the List: Last nights episode had the new Saeco Super/Full Auto in the opening scene in the house when they were eating breakfast talking about going to Napa valley. "E" is getting coffee right by it. It was one of the newest designed super auto Seaco. Sharp machine....on a great show!!! I wanna be "E"

In the latest Sopranos episode the other night, they showed Carmella trying to use a Krups steam toy espresso machine. She finally gives up on it and apologizes to Paulie for not being able to make him an espresso. Later, Paulie gives them an Elektra Microcasa Semiautomatica! She even says the name, and tells Tony it costs about $2,000. He doesn't seem too impressed, but considering how cheap Paulie is supposed to be, that's one hell of a gift. Someone who writes for the show obviously likes espresso.

Yeah, I practically jumped out of my chair when I saw the machine. She must have just pulled it out of the box because it's still in pieces with packing material swaddling some of it. But I knew what it was immediately. Then I thought, "They're gonna need a bigger grinder." Man, I'm such a geek.

Great screen shots. That machine should look awesome in Tony's kitchen, but I can see Carmella having a hard time getting a good shot out of it. "You mean we have to spend another $450 to get a grinder for this thing? Fugeddaboutit!" Last time I checked, the Microcasa Semiautomatica was "only" about $1,300, not $2,000. Maybe Williams Sonoma marks them up a lot.

Say hello to my leeetel fren. Saw Scarface for the first time the other day. In the first part of the movie when Tony and Manny were working in that little hole in the wall, they use a lever machine. Don't know what kind though.

Man likes to play chess. Let's get him some rocks.
