Good 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)

Iris Indigo Coffee machine. Genuine product, distributed by SiliconGraphics Germany.

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)
50 Hz Gaggia Espressigo 50Hz Gaggia CPU (Coffee Processing Unit) 30 ml primary coffee cache approximatly 1.5l secondary water cache regulation with thermostat brewing with water steam up to two cups per cycle fully compatible to all usual breeds of espresso balanced overall performance 3 cpm (cups per minute) 220V power supply throughput: 1 l/min coffee grounds: on the compost normed cup tray: DIN 4711 Espressigo is the newest product in an IRIS Indigo case. Besides the three senses see, hear, feel this appliance opens the remaining two senses: taste and smell. Espressigo is the Espresso-Machine in the classical and nice case of the Indigo. The inner life of the Espressigo is manufactured by the most famous italien producer of coffee machines. This combination guarantees optimal design and highest pleasure. The unit has an integrated water tank, which is sufficient for several cups of the best espresso or capuccino. With the integrated steam jet you can also heat other drinks such as water, tee, chocolate. The Espressigo offers therefore the best requirements for relaxed computer work. The Espressigo can be used in normal kitchen environment, she does not need any special cabling nor aircondition rooms - in opposite: the delightful aroma set free in operation is reviving tired programmers and users. Price: DM 1.790,- excl. tax

first, this is amazing

second, if it was actually a modded Indigo, it'd be maybe a little more badass actually

@Ifrauding yeah, I know the Espressigo. There has been also the Indy-Case (Aktentasche) and I think the Challenge fridge (although I don‘t know if that was official or just a customer built).

Another fun fact: when visiting SGI office in Frankfurt while visiting the Maya Beta First Access Training and to get the golden Maya Beta 3 CD (I was there with Tobias Richter from The Lightworks), you could see that the receptionists had SGI Octanes as their workplace computer to run SoftWindows emulator for their office programs. 😆

Thanks for the update. I was sad seeing the picture, but in this context it's very lovely. Even if it makes coffee. Which is horrible.
