especially on this page of the forum we are all very into the hardware of our coffeegeekness my guess is that a large number of us use Apple computers, iPods and maybe even iPhones! this is a bit off topic but on a more serious note it is interesting to find out what kind of person becomes/is a coffeegeek. -what kind of computer do you own? -what kind of espresso machine do you own? I'll start this off by saying that I have a Apple laptop, Powerbook and an Apple desktop G5 workstation. On the coffee front I have a Giotto Premium (and a Mazzer Mini E v. B grinder) thanks, alexander Mod note- moved to the off topics forum.

Hi: I, too, have an Apple desktop G5 workstation. I've been an Apple user since the beginning (at least 20 years). On my coffee front, I currently have a Gaggia Coffee and MDF grinder-

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, not Apple! =) I'm using a dual core AMD, 2 GB RAM and 1 TB disk space. For coffee I'm using a Pasquini K2/Anfim for grinding and a Gaggia Baby Twin and Bodum press for making the coffee.

MacBook for me. Apple user for the last 12 years. I'd go to Starbucks before I'd go back to a PC!

I don't see what this has got anything todo with coffee. I even have an argument of coffeegeeks againsts Apple computers. As someone who likes tinker-toys I speak for Linux PCs. If I wanted an Apple, I'd probably be somone who wants things to work out of the box, so I would need to have a super-auto espresso machine. Anyways, dual-processor Xeon at work (Linux), OQO02 (XP Tablet/Linux) for the rest of time, Linux file server (1.5TB total) for my home audio/video. And yes, I own several Apple Airport Express for Airtunes wireless audio. To speak for my hypothesis of Coffeegeek/TinkerToys vs. Apple/Non-Tinkerer: My wife has 2 Apple computers (PowerBook and DualG5) and eventhough she loves my Cappuccino and can tell good from bad coffee, if I don't make coffee for her, she'll drink instant coffee, cuz she likes things that just work without much effort. She says her work gives her enough puzzles (she's researcher in Genetics). Wolfgang

I think the true Coffeegeek should, be willing to do without computers at all, before even thinking *$ :)
