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. Especially for the Truth Part.” 
 
 The card containing the note was topped with an illustration of American troops. 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.

 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.
– 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.
