Bad: the artist must have had to much espresso the day he made it. (Click for larger image)   Coffeenoobie Buying advice: GRINDER GRINDER GRINDER. Don't cheap out on the grinder.

If those were mine I would probably burst out laughing every time I use those for my espresso. Or maybe that's just me having a very weird humor. I've never really tried shopping at thrift stores and garage sales since I always have this nagging doubt that the "salesperson" is trying to one-up me with his/her items in terms of price and quality. Yeah, that's me sucking on buying and haggling. Maybe I should try, eh? back to top Coffeenoobie Senior Member Joined: 11 Dec 2011 Posts: 2,368 Location: PNW Expertise: I like coffee Espresso: N S Oscar Grinder: Vario W Posted Thu Apr 26, 2012, 1:19pm Subject: Re: Best Thrift store/garage sale/ebay/craigslist coffee find   It can't hurt to look.  Something like cups you can tell if they are chipped or cracked so no risk buying used.  Here in the US you don't haggle in thrift stores, you can in garage sales.  It is a crazy looking cup it says "pizzaespresssssoooo" And at first I thought the man was a pirate.   Coffeenoobie Buying advice: GRINDER GRINDER GRINDER.
