I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy. - Marilyn Monroe

The evolution of espresso, Doctor Who style!

So I was hanging a really, really cool poster in my living room this weekend...
Java Dreams by Chris Cosani
Really neat, huh?  James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Elvis and Marilyn all in the same image and it's one of the better fantasy images I've seen of dead icons.  And since I work as a barrista, I was naturally checking out the vintage espresso machine behind James Dean in the pic.  And then it struck me...
Maybe the creators or Doctor Who were drinking too much espresso when they came up with the design for the Daleks?  We just need to add a coffee grinder and a steaming wand!  Come to think of it, has anyone created a Dalek espresso machine for Whovians?  That would be so incredibly cool!!!
