to be clear.....it is for the WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS ROOM.....

The new machine was accompanied by a personalized note from Hanks, which urged them to "Keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially the Truth part."

The espresso machine appears to be a Pasquini Livia G4, which retails for $2,219.

I don't know anything about Mr. Hanks; he sounds like a very nice person. It's ok to be kind, no matter who, why, what, where, when. It's a good trait, in the long- term scheme of things.

Sunshine, Thanks for clarifying. Why do we get tidbits and have to guess for ourselves? Maybe that was the intent. SMDH

It was for the Press corp and well deserved! The carp they deal with would require an espresso or two.

p.s. Sometimes we don't have to be a fan of something when we are kind. I do nice things for a variety of people, no matter what, why, etc., etc. Sometimes a person sees that a coffee machine needs to be replaced, and decides to replace it, no matter who, what, etc. Could be that a variety of employees use that coffee machine. EDITED: Thanks for the latest update. Guess I was typing as those posts were being posted.
