Hahahaha. Awesome.

I love that!  However coffee should NEVER require manual intervention, it should be "always available".  CCR would be better, make coffee on both sides then don't use the excess.

How about setting Coffee Anywhere to help out your remote users?

You windows folk are so easily amused.  We installed Linux on a coffee maker 10 years ago.

I hope they are properly licensed.  I'd also add some redundant power supplies and fans, just in case.

Well I'm a guest at a Microsoft building this week for a training course and they've already implemeted a stretched cluster model for the coffee. One fully functional machine on either side of the break area. They also have redundant soft drinks fridges as well.

So simple to explain & to understand : Cluster for dummies
Have fun

Hopefully the admin was forward-thinking enough to make sure the coffee grinder was part of the cluster resource.

Nice coffee machine too ! what's brand / model? ;)

Do you think the Caffeine would upset the heartbeat between the two?

In this example though, you can have both machines brewing and serving up coffee at the same time - unless there's only one outlet back there.  In that way I'd say it's a better example of load balancing than an Exchange cluster.
