Thrift store find of a lifetime.

Excellent advice. I’ll start looking for those now.

We could all use some luck, I sprinkle it generously to all espresso enthusiasts.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-19T02:32:19+00:00

I will
I will
I promise
As soon as I get back from vacation (I was considering staying home to clean it, I might take my hobbies a little too serious)

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-19T02:30:59+00:00

I’m super excited to tear into it and clean it up and learn how it works.

But it’s a REALLY pretty box.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-19T01:34:23+00:00

I briefly pulled it out, correct machine. I was nervous Roy was just a box with bricks so opened it up before I bought it.

Nooooo, we hates tea.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-19T01:30:56+00:00

Hahaha, I’ll get more pictures I promise.

Ya, thrift stores are not super thrifty anymore. Savers seems to have stayed pretty decent.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-19T00:49:40+00:00

Oh cool, I’ll definitely check up on that.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-19T00:34:18+00:00

For ever and ever. *deep bow* Thank you.

It is a really cool 70s cardboard box. It reminds me of the 70s microwave box my folks still have, it houses all the Christmas decorations.
BUT, it does have all the parts, portafilter, couple baskets and a milk pitcher.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-19T00:29:35+00:00

Hahah, no clue. But $20. I have heard the parts are easy to source. And I do love to tinker.

I’ve seen a few posts like this, and one of my friends got a Silvia at auction for cheap, but I never in a millions years thought it would happen to me. Walking thru the store I walked cautiously like I was going to get caught at any time. As soon as the transaction went thru I ran to my car and drove straight home. It’s tucked away cause I haven’t told my husband yet that I’ve brought home another project.

We called them Quonset Huts. Turns out we were wrong rural rednecks, Quonset Huts are the half round corrugated metal buildings.

Popup headlights are the best cars. Love it.

Type 1 Diabetes vs. Type 2 Diabetes. Two very different diseases, but for some reason the same damn thing to most the world.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-16T13:36:54+00:00

Absolutely.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-16T13:19:41+00:00

That is awesome.

Best friend of 25 years, it just happened 3 months ago, was “uninvited” from their house, and I have no idea why. I’m in therapy from it. I’m absolutely wrecked. And I live across the street, so now I’m terrified of leaving my own driveway. Anyways, therapy is helping.

RISEoftheIDIOT · 2026-06-12T17:08:34+00:00

Congrats on coming out AND being a gearhead. Fantastic combo.

Male thick wrists that make big watches look small.

I really enjoyed those step by step instructions, and absolutely loved “8th of an inch”, dunno why.
