Black Fuel

Just read a post on BOING BOING about a guy not getting his 500 euro espresso machine to put Crema on his Coffee.
Basically if I want crema on my coffee, I go to any cafe and order one.
Appreciating this isn't possible in the states, I do have to point out that I'm currently drinking a cheap industrial instant provided by my employer.
Which puts the caffeine into my blood.

I was working on dividing the planet into coffee drinkers and tea drinkers.
Coffee drinkers would drink coffee to wake up and keep moving, tea drinkers to enjoy the process of making the tea and drinking it at leasure.
Tea drinkers do embroidery, play cricket, and think life is about enjoying the scenery.
Coffee drinkers write cutting edge philosophy, don't ever play and focus on getting places.

Now I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm too much of a junk. Unlike people who only drink from the golden teat of the finest Italian machinery (hah!) I take my kick wherever I can find it.

Any other coffee roughers out there?
