I'm just throwing this into the ring:

As alt substitutions, until you purchase that "dream grinder," you can always use some Cafe Bustelo (10oz can) espresso grind or Cafe Llave (12oz can) espresso grind. I know some will turn up their noses to these, but, if you're on a budget for now, the Bustelo is available at one of the ***Mart stores for about $3.88 for a 10oz can. I like Cafe Bustelo myself, and its a nice pre-ground coffee to throw into your "espresso" rotation

Damn it! Why didn't I think of that?!? I mean thanks, great sugestion.
I used to live on Bustelo, and anothet one that I think was a Goya product. Thankfully, my budget isn't back there yet.

I found the serious stark white interior nothing on the menu but 20 varieties of rare exotic beans and teas (if you go that way) shop. Their espresso is marginally better priced, properly ground at request, but its in a simular good damned luck finding parking edge of a city I had going into area. Getting coffee at either place a an 1.5 hr Round trip commitment.

I guess I am coming to grips with the price even though I could be introduced as "the notorious cheapskate, The MacDonald." But the trip, the time, the parking, I guess I am becoming soft in my suburban bunker. Prehaps I'll quit complaining and man up, right after this cigar...or the next one.
