I have an espresso machine I never use. Are there any alternative uses for an espresso machine?

Can you answer Gidget’s question about Coffee?:
I do not drink coffee and don’t want recipes for using espresso in any way, shape, or form. Surely there has to be some cool use for an espresso machine besides making espresso or hot water? I can make hot water for oatmeal or tea in the micro. If I’m going to keep this machine around, it needs to fulfill a purpose. Is there, perhaps, some practical use for its parts?

Coffee Feedback: ??? I’m sorry, I don’t know what to tell you as far as gutting the parts and building some other practical machine or anything, but I would consider using freecycle.com to find someone who would love to have it.
If you feel the need to keep it, I guess depending on the attractiveness of the machine, you could remove the inside parts and use the casing as a planter. Just a thought.
