They’ve got one now. When the camera takes us into Leo’s
office. There it is in the far corner waiting to have its buttons pressed and
to spout out its delicious loveliness.
However, there is the problem of noise. When I make a coffee
early in the morning it’s hard not to wake the children, which sort of ruins
the point of waking up early to attempt something creative. For example this is
being written upstairs in bed, where I can turn on my computer and write in relative
silence.
If I had ventured downstairs and turned on ‘the
machine’, first of all there’s the
huge clacking and whirring of it starting up and then there’s the grinding howl
of its actual coffee making.
It’s a lovely machine; we got it as a combined Christmas
present from both of our families four years ago (and even then we had saved up
half the money, so for us it was not inexpensive).
Yes, it’s a wonder of nature and thoughts of it even now
fill me with joyous expectation. It’s really good, but it’s really, really
noisy.
In Silent Witness, in Leo’s office, they’ve added a coffee
jug, which they walk over and pour coffee from. There’s no heater to the side
of ‘the machine’ so their all drinking cold coffee, but then again they’re
actors so that’s what they do.
I guess they added the coffee jug due to the fact that if
they actually pressed the buttons they’d have to stop filming for three minutes
while everyone watched the coffee being made and listened to the cacophony of
noise that this action entails.
PS: Maybe the newer one (which they have) is quieter?
PPS: Is their coffee drinking a homage to Scandinavian Crime
TV and Books?
Bye for now.
