Panini machine

I have been wanting to get a panini machine from either William Sonoma or Crate & Barrel for awhile now, but both my mom and Yi (my older sis) insisted that we have one already at home. I kept forgetting to ask them to show me where the Panini machine is until Sat, when I bought bread & cheese & deli meat. Both mom and sister went different direction to get the machine, when they came back, mom was holding the George Forman grill and Yi was holding a grill cheese machine (the triangle one). I guess I never fully explain the concept of Panini to them. I wonder if it is a Wash U thing that I like Panini so much. But in the end, George Forman actually works fine, I guess I don't need a Panini machine after all.
