Murray-

Cool setup! The only word of caution I have for you is to empty the wastewater container on a regular basis.  Especially if your dumping wasted coffee and milk products.  Leave it too long and the odor is something else!

Good idea I'll follow that advice. Maybe I can add a little chlorine to the waste tank after I dump it to keep it fresh. I'm just learning how this thing is going to work out.

I'm adding some shelves inbetween the 2 cabinets today for a little extra storage.

Thanks to all the Geeks for all the positive feedback.

I guess I'll take that as a compliment. I'm 40 yrs young and not up on the current lingo. Is being a freak a good thing now?

No, usually its not a good thing, but that is really cool...

So i called you a freak because (a) you thought of it and (b) you actually carried it out

I hope your wife appreciates this work of art as much as she enjoys your espresso drinks. I have to say there is a debt of gratitude owed to you from your dear wife.

To me it looks like a top-notch job, well done!

I say ditch the wife!  Tell her to put her toaster in the living room.


Seriously though, the setup has sort of an american art deco chicness to it.
