The coffee machine at the office where i work makes a lot of noise during the 30 seconds it takes for it to brew one cup of regular coffee. The recording was made with my h2 an early morning in january 2009.
The ambiance recorded inside starbucks coffee around silom are in bangkok, thailand. Not crowded. Soft background music. Recorded with a cheap omni-directional condenser microphone.
I recorded the sound of my keurig disposing coffee into my glass mug using a zoom h4n recorder and a rode m3 microphone. I imagine this recording would be used nicely in an audio documentary as active sound, or as background noise beneath a conversation.
