That's kinda like that IKEA thingy Mark has.

I checked these at REI... too small for me.
Just right if you like *real* espresso sized cups of coffee.

I know, I know, I'm spoiled by the one from Ikea... :-)

I have yet to purchase one of those Ikea jobbies. Maybe when I go to DeserSToc Mark can hook me up with one. I'll bring money!!! And Arabaca coffee grounds. Or maybe when I go to Tempe for the AZ Ironman Triathlon, Mark can show me where he got his and I'll definately be a wide awake camper!! BUT, maybe all I need is that little one at Campmor. I mean just a little of that expresso goes a long way!!! I mean that stuff is the Red Bull of the coffee bunch.

Will that gadget chill Mt. Dew?

Ah....caffeine in a can!:java1:

I don't know why you guys just don't dip with it.. do they make coffee dip.. just a little pinch between your cheek and gums.. LOL

I don't mind a cup of java in the morning..but most of the time, I just forget to make it... :eek:

I didn't read the link you posted, it looks identical to this one (http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?productId=57711&storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&langId=-1&color=&img=/media/773350.jpg&view=large&vcat=REI_SEARCH)at REI
* Made from lightweight aluminum, the European-style espresso machine is finely crafted with a brass steam pipe
* For use on low heat over your backpacking stove
* Tank holds 3 ounces of water and fresh ground coffee

The Ikea one makes about the same amount of espresso (~13oz) as one you show... the GSI version that looks just like the one you posted ( at REI again) says it makes 10oz though...

Mac,
If you'd like me to get you one just say the word... I'll deliver it to either DesertSTOC or the Ironman.
(My youngest (Jack) is in a HS choir, he informed me that the *best* performances of the years are the Friday and Saturday of DesertSTOC. I'll be there Thursday and most of Friday; but have to be home for the event).

Since we will be closer to your home at the Tri, I'll take you up on it there. I can get close enough to the high test with my percolator until then. Thanks for the offer though. Mac.

[Mark]

You got it.

Hey Mac,
I've got an IKEA model that Mark sent me from AZ, and lo & behold, I received a Pezzetti 3 cupper for Christmas. It's made in Italy by Pezzetti Caffettiere Company. Since I don't need two, the Pezzetti is yours the next time we meet up at an ST gathering.

BTW: what's up with those wimpy Dallas people who can't handle real coffee?

B.J.

[motomac]

Thanks BJ. I will never fault anyone and their tastes in coffee. I didn't start drinking the stuff until I made Chief Petty Officer (CPO)in the Navy and I was 30 years old. All my shipmates said you can't be a Chief if you don't drink coffee. I hated the stuff back then, but I persevered and now enjoy it.

Ahhh, memories... the coffee on both aircraft carriers was good stuff.
The USN hospitals never had the distilled water to start with, so it wasn't ever as good.
