Crew Review: Jura GIGA 5 Automatic Coffee Center

When we asked Sam and Shiami what we should write about Jura's super-fancy GIGA 5, they replied, 'well, it's pretty balla.' When we think of 'balla,' we think of the Notorious B.I.G.'s seminal debut single, Juicy, in which he paints a dreamscape of how he envisions his life before and after making it as a rapper. Written and recorded before he actually did make it, rhymes like 'Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, when I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this' and 'Birthdays was the worst days, now we sip champagne when we thirsty,' provide insight into what he considered to be hallmarks of financial success. And if the GIGA 5 had existed back in the early 90's, we're fairly certain it would have merited a shout out because it is just that awesome. Not convinced? Watch Gail's walkthrough of its features and specs, including a demo of its interface and one-touch cappuccino functionality. If that doesn't convince you that you should be rocking this bad boy on your countertop, well ... maybe you're just not ready for it, baby. But don't worry -- you'll get there. We believe in you.
