Their new Espresso-Tea-Maker. Wait, what? That's not what it said on the tin!
No one was more surprised than the new state-of-the-art coffee machine itself when it simply prepared the perfect cup of tea for its new owner called “Angel”. Obviously it wasn’t built to make six shots of espresso all at once for the "Dearest" one either, and yet... Needless to say that neither option was actually in the manual.
Please excuse this silly little random Good Omens LEGO one shot, brought to you by 'ineffably-queer-book-lover was recently asked to create a LEGO MOC of an espresso machine as a wedding gift'.
Apparently the happy couple (enthusiastic LEGO fans) in question was getting a certain kind of espresso machine (not a coffee machine, as I learned) as a wedding gift and their friends thought it would be fun to include a little LEGO miniature. So, yeah, I built them a MOC as close to the real deal as I could manage.
That got me thinking of Aziraphale and Crowley (a surprise to exactly no one) and what shenanigans they would get up to if someone gifted them a coffee or espresso maker. Obviously I couldn't resist to build a nice new sleek state-of-the-art machine for our ineffable duo and get them some appropriate cups!
Bonus 1: Cut scene (sort of) that actually shows Aziraphale's custom-made tea in his cup:
Bonus 2: The MOC as shown here if you want to build it yourself (most parts are original LEGO or at least available from LEGO in similar colors; the connector rings obviously aren't, but it would work without them if you attach the handles the other way round or just use simple 1x1 round plates for a coffee machine instead of an espresso maker). If you only want to use the smaller cups (for espresso, you know?), just leave out the 1x2 plate in the back:
You're welcome to build it yourself! 🤗
I tried to use very common parts, so it can be recreated in various colors, too (the one for the wedding was bright red)! 🤗

Tagging the usual crowd with the customary addendum to please let me know if you want to be added to or removed from the list! 😘

Cafflano Kompresso Hand Espresso Maker. Makes a good dose of cold coffee. The secret is that it squeezes harder and steps for one minute. The results are amazing and the Espresso is perfect.
