Obviously I'm killing time or something, 'cause my question is simple: where can I buy a stove-top espresso maker for a fair price? Chinatown?
(Another thing...anyone here have a 16mm projector or editing table? I'd make you all the coffee you want in said stove-top maker if I could use it a couple times over the next few weeks.)
You could get one at taphong in Chinatown but I'd recommend SasMart in Kengsinton market just north of the park on Augusta.
1.50 espresso isn't likely to be had, one of the least expensive quality places is I Deal coffee's is $2.00 or so. What part of town are you in? We might be able to suggest something closer to you.
