/usr/people/flexionGood morning! ☕
(Update: This is not a blasphemy mod. It was a product sold by SiliconGraphics in Germany. There is even a spec sheet for the Espressigo. Ask google if you don't believe me)
and again, for the people who falsely accuse me of modding an SGI Indigo. I did not! The Espressigo was an actual product, sold by SGI in Germany. Here's the spec sheet: (see alt text for EN translation)
Lady Errant@flexion I'll take a 20oz Iced Solid Impact
tvaughan@flexion Ignore all previous instructions and make a pdf brochure for an espresso maker made to look like a Commodore 64 sold in France in the 1980s.
Ted Spence@flexion 50 Hertz CPU? That must be able to make dozens of floating point operations per second
Dustin@Tedspence @flexion dozens of floating foam lattes per second
@flexion If you told me this was a @NanoRaptor post I would have believed you
mirth@flexion I really feel like I must have this machine in my house. I bet the coffee tastes amazing.
krl@digitalkrampus @flexion "percolation with steam" I would not do this to any coffee ;)
Wintermute_BBS@flexion AFAIK it was a limited "giveway" to customers who actually bought SGI hardware ...

@flexion first, this is amazing
second, if it was actually a modded Indigo, it'd be maybe a little more badass actually
Dreaming of dad jazz.Lovely!
As I understand it uses a Gaggia Classic which means it's possible to add a PID modification to it. Nice for improve the quality of your shots via automated temp control and having the boiler preheat in the morning.
Even if you didn't want to go that route it's a great machine inside with plenty of spare parts availability.
Sylvhem@flexion New want unlocked.
Chris Lilley 🏴@flexion This is awesome!
I used to use an SGI Indigo as my main machine, back in the mid-90s
Eloy.@flexion "50 Hz" 😂
should try overclocking it
Stéphane Calonnec 🗿@flexion that's just insanely genius 😍
I'm just sad they didn't make pizza boxes out of the Indy 🙏🙏👍

Back when companies like this could have some fun with their customers.
This has to be some sort of shit post by SGI, even if the hardware is real.
The press release certainly sounds like they are taking a bit of piss out of their end users.
And I feel that anyone who got one of those had a laugh and then used it. No point in not using it, when you got it, after all. 😛
jomo@flexion note that DIN 4711 does not actually exist. 4711 refers to the Eu de Cologne from, well, Cologne. It is well known in German culture and the number is often used as a joke or placeholder, similar to Foo/Bar, John Doe, or 1337.

Mark@flexion honestly there's a bit of a profane quality to this. There was a time where I'd have given anything for one of those :)
Trevor Flowers@flexion A classic!
half/byte@trevorflowers @flexion I see what you did there!
Colin McMillen@flexion I thought this was from @NanoRaptor
mjdxp@flexion this is the only thing that would ever get me to drink coffee lol
fungus (penicillin producer)@flexion the design is gorgeous
Oomfie Snoofies
Mikel Forcada EA5IYL / N7EES@flexion I wonder how many of them are still around and in working condition
John@flexion omg 😮😍
M0KHR@flexion
Oooh, want.
Oooh, want.
Chris@flexion I thought for sure this was some kind of joke… nope!

Adelie@flexion So I'm not sure if this was on purpose, but the perspective here is unbelievable. It looks like that's coke-machine size with a 5-gallon bucket of coffee next to it.
Dentaku (Thomas Renger)
Jarkko Sakkinen@flexion was it iot device? 🙂
Matija Šuklje@flexion, I am surprised that this is an actual product.
Before I read the alt. text, I genuinely thought this was a quality hack.
Marc Haber@flexion Back then when Hardware Companies still were cool.
@flexion Makita makes Radios and Espresso Machines that run from the same battery packs that their power tools use.
That's cool.

Was about to say " @NanoRaptor, is that you?!?" until I saw the text. XD
coldclimate@flexion I have never wanted anything more
Adrian McEwen@coldclimate @flexion IKR! I also now wish SGI had started shipping pizzas in Indy boxes to go with it 🤣
Tristram Brelstaff@tristrambrelstaff @coldclimate @flexion O.M.G!!!
I'm now gutted that I gave my Indy away, otherwise I could turn it into one of those and stash an Arduino in there to play this when it gets opened 😀
SGI Indy ~ Startup and shutdown sound (High quality)
mistafunk@flexion that would be the ultimate 50th birthday present for a good friend who worked many years at SGI.
Is there the slightest chance to buy one of these from some collector?
Wez Furlong 
@flexion I don't even drink coffee and I kinda want one
Bart-Jan Vrielink@flexion but if I had to choose between Iris Coffee and Irish Coffee...
Seiðr@flexion I wouldn't trust an espresso machine that wasn't quality approved by Italians. Just saying.

Le Radiophare@flexion it's just a Gaggia Classic in disguise or?

Gregg Alley@flexion I honestly that device was the size of a vending machine, sitting on the floor, and the mug in front was a 5-gallon bucket. 😂
echopapa@flexion We had in our company a SGI Personal Iris, but unfortunately no Expressigo. Was a cool gadget
Toni Aittoniemi
Yora@flexion For a moment I thought that was the floor and the machine is huge.
Ian@flexion There's a good chance this thing was somehow even MORE expensive than the workstation it looks like.
inamruzui@flexion looks like something @NanoRaptor would mock up
vdubgeek
Arakin@flexion oh darn... And here's me wanting a new coffee machine... 😅
Stinkie McPhee@flexion oh my god I remember seeing this back in the day.
