    My new used espresso machine for $15 off craigslist. $300 new. Works great just a little dust on it. Tampers, pitcher and everything.
    Espresso so much better than my old Krups steam model.

      @urbanwoodsman:

      Hope everything is ok or are you at work?

      I let this one sit for 24hrs. I think it says 12hrs in the instructions but that's what I did last time and it was quite weak.

      Just a long day at work. I might invest in some cold brewing options. I have tried using chilling aero press coffee and that works ok, but it's obviously not the same or as good.

          Did you make sure the coffee had gone to room temperature before cooling it? It will get quite bitter otherwise.

            This was left to brew on my counter for 24hrs. I used cool filtered water and coarse grinds. So it was at room temperature the whole time.

                  Very nice set up.

                  Yesterday I got to try the Mast Brothers new venture, the Chocolate Brew Bar. It was super weird. They do a pour over with their cocoa beans… it's like a bitter chocolate tea almost. Tastes exactly like their amazing chocolate but in a "red" coffee like liquid. I'm still not sure if I liked it or not but it was definitely interesting.

                    Here's my current set up. I also have a 6-cup chemex, French press, toddy cold brew system and Aeropress.

                          Great set-up urbanwoodsman! Loving the mug collection.  Haven´t experimented with the Aeropress yet.

                          The chocolate brew bar looks …erm..interesting.  The taste is like a crossover of tea with cocoa beans? Not sure if that´s a good thing?  I´m not a tea guy myself.

                              It's so weird and confusing. It tastes almost exactly like that specific origin chocolate but you can pick out the notes WAY easier. I would say it's more like a light and bitter coffee rather than a tea. Or potentially more like an over steeped tea? I don't know man, but I'm gonna try it again!

                                @urbanwoodsman took me to this awesome place right before hitting up comedy cellar…the cold brew coffee with milk was brilliant! guess it was the best I had so far...

                                      The cold press there was a letdown for me. I do a 24 hour coarse ground soak also but I refrigerate it the whole time.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        took a few more pictures with the Ricoh, which I'm gonna upload when I have the time to it (after the vacation is over I think)… @Snowy
