Hanks had famously gifted the White House press corps with an espresso maker six years ago, after visiting the break room in the press area of the White House and being appalled that there was no coffee maker.
Last month Hanks checked in on his gift, and joked that he was disappointed that it was looking a little run down.
“You know, you are supposed to clean this after every use,” Hanks remarked to reporters after picking up the filter from the old machine.
Just over a month later, Hanks sent a new “super deluxe” version of the same espresso maker to the press corp, complete with a fancy new espresso cup set.
