A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university Professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the Prof. went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and [...]

Are Apple Mac owners Latte sipping techno weenies? If so, what about Latte sipping, Vespa-riding Mac owners?
What kind of image are Mac owners portraying, and what about coffee snobs? and what about Vespa riders?

I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but lately I’ve been drinking pretty much a cup a day. I’ve only ever liked good coffee, the real stuff you get at the local cafe, not the crap that comes out of the packet. I’ve never thought about making my own coffee, until recently.
I did a little research [...]
