Woah , you are serious about your coffee Someone gave me 2 kinds of Vietnamese coffee but I only used them for making ice cream

Hah. I love coffee and brewing. I want to eventually try out roasting my own.

What kind of drip machine is that?

It is a fully automated coffee maker. On top you put in beans and at the back is a water container. Once you press a button on top, an adjustable amount of beans get ground, and the boiling hot water is pressurised led through the grinds and comes out the front spout as coffee. Made in Switzerland by Jura but there are other manufacturers and models that basically do the same thing.

Had to look it up. Looks like an awesome "all in one" type machine. If you can give more insight, how does it compare to a quality coffee shop?

As I can choose my own brand of coffee and control the strength I prefer my own over a good coffee shop. But in general it would be just as good as the process is more or less the same: hot water pressed through freshly ground coffee.

True, what about the foam for the cappuccino? Genuinely curious. The website and specs make it seem like a top quality product for the price point.

On the photo you see the little spout on the right hand side (next to the central column where the coffee flows from). You can switch to "steam" and heat/froth milk from that spout for cappuccinos. The machine comes with a milk container and tube that can be attached to the small spout. We never use that - too much work and too much cleaning after...) but you can if you want to.

I have a "Culinary" album on Flickr with photos of all the food I enjoyed (either at home or eating out).

Really depends on some variables -- spans anywhere from 3-8 hours depending on the coarseness of the grind and the drop rate.
