I don't think I posted this to this thread before, but I found an old fashioned fireplace popcorn popper years ago at a thrift store that I keep in my tent trailer. I got to use it this past weekend with some Ethiopia Haro Sana and it turned out great.

At the end of my espresso machine list, a Starbucks Barista for $9 & a Gaggia Espresso for $6 from my local Salvation Army store, basically like new! {:-D

Eric's post reminded me of a Newco plumb in drip brewer at Salvation Army for $20 but it needs a new control board :( but they had brand new, unused glass pots for commercial machines at a buck each, I picked up 6 for all of my other drip machines.
