Thank you all! This could be more expensive than the cigar slope, but I have to say, myself and my family are enjoying coffee like never before. I think I am going to get one of those refurbished grinders and/or go the timing route.

Wow, that's a nice espresso maker. I am doing the research now, I'm budgeting about $1500-$1800. I am in the midst of a home renovation (the kitchen is not being touched), and I am talking to the builder about a wet bar where I can have a "coffee station" off of the main kitchen. I am running out of room on the kitchen counter for all the of "equipment". Anyone have any advice on their own bar areas where they make coffee?

I am just dying for the espresso maker...lol. I need to do a little more research.

I am very glad I invested upfront for the good grinder. I'd not change the taste of my coffee for anything.
