text: While it’s never a guarantee that the press will get any juicy scoops during White House press conferences, Tom Hanks has made sure they get at least one thing: good coffee. 
   
   In keeping with his tradition of the last two administrations, reporters, photographers and cameramen arrived to their break room surprised by a new espresso machine courtesy of the Oscar-winning actor. 
   
   “To the White House Press Corps,” a note left by Hanks read. “Keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially for the Truth Part.” 
   
   Hanks first treated the corps to his generosity during the Bush administration, when he visited the White House during a film shoot in Washington. Upon noticing the Fourth Estate was sustaining itself from vending machine coffee, Hanks quickly came to the rescue and purchased a brand new machine with instructions: “I hope this machine will make the 24 hour cycle of news a bit more pleasant. Add water, insert pod, press button and report. All good things. Tom Hanks.” 
   
   Upon a March 2010 visit to the White House for a screening of HBO’s “The Pacific” with Steven Spielberg, Hanks saw the machine to be in a state of disrepair. Or, at the very least, very dirty. 
   
   “You know, you are supposed to clean this after every use,” ABC News reported Hanks wrote in a second note. 
   
   So he sent them a replacement, this time a “super deluxe” version of the same machine, paired with a brand new espresso cup set. 
   
   At least one corps benefactor knows how to get good press.

   Hanks has sent the White House press corps a new espresso maker, replacing the one he gifted reporters in 2010. 
   
   The new machine was spotted in the break room of the press area of the White House Thursday morning along with a note of encouragement.

   Hanks first purchased a machine for the press during the Bush administration, when he toured the break room and noticed there was no coffee maker. 
   
   The “Saving Private Ryan” actor replaced that machine for the “poor slobs of the Fourth Estate” in March 2010 after noticing the machine looked run down during a stop at the White House.
target: – America's Dad wants to make sure America's Fourth Estate doesn't run out of steam. Members of the White House press corps arrived in the press area break room Thursday morning to find a brand new espresso machine courtesy of Tom Hanks, the Hill reports. The actor left behind a note reading, “Keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially for the Truth Part.” According to Variety, this has actually become a bit of a tradition for Hanks, starting when he was at the White House for a film shoot during the Bush administration. He saw the press corps getting their coffee from a vending machine and bought them their own coffee machine. He later replaced it during the Obama administration when he noticed it was getting a bit rundown while at the White House for a screening of The Pacific.
