My espresso bar. I had no idea that I could have such a thing in my home until I stumbled onto this thread. I love it!
Alas, I am moving, so it soon will be no more, but I'm keeping the equipment and I'll build an even better bar in a few months.

The machine is a Bezzera Duo MN, which has been fantastic. It's plumbed in through inline filters. The grinder, a Sette 270.
The bar itself came from Lowe's hardware. I bought an open-box kitchen cabinet for about $100, and the butcher block top for another $100. I put it in my breakfast nook, because there wasn't enough room in the kitchen. It was very simple to do, and I'd be happy to explain to anybody who's curious. I love making coffee every morning, and I appreciate everyone here for all of their advice.

Temporary setup... Inexpensive stand from Lowe's. Cut the legs on the stand to 34". 1-1/2" Acacia wood butcher block with some teak oil...and voilà temporary espresso machine stand!

I finally made a shelf to organize the hell that was my coffee counter, so I figured it's high time I finally post a photo here. I still have to tile the backsplash and also figure out how to cram a brew grinder in there, but that's not likely to happen any time soon.

Oh, nice! I'm curious to hear your impressions of this machine.

Wow, great idea and well done, amazing.

Gaggia Classic Pro with stainless steel dispersion block, IMS shower screen and basket with a dimmer hooked up to the pump for flow control. Also modded the solenoid valve to be 9 bars as opposed to the default.

Pretty happy with this setup and the Lido E and Gaggia give me great tasting shots.

Talk about urban sprawl... Just sold a Flair and potentially buying a microcasa mcal soon. Need to downsize, or figure out a more elegant way to organize it all
