I use a Chemex. Mind the photo, it is an old one. Will post a new one when possible.
Fantastic idea and a very nice setup to get the ball rolling, I'm envious of the space you have there!

With a nice setup like this Shrink, I gather the process is almost a meditative one for you? My setup is a lot simpler, but it is definitely a ritual process for me. Not quite as elaborate as the Japanese tea brewing ceremonies, but heading there.
You hit it right on the head. The well practiced, almost choreographed, movements involved on making espresso is certainly ritualized...if not meditative, it is calming!
Stunning setup...
Thank you, Mate. It took a long time, and a few $$, but it now is pretty much in good shape.
No machines here. Chemex with a Hario hand grinder.
I like to use dark roast coffee from local roasters such as Baltimore Coffee & Tea, Mayorga, and Zeke's.

I actually love and prefer the Coffee Bean to Starbucks on many occasions..
I love my Chemex!!!! Such a great way to make coffee. I don't have a grinder, so I grind my beans when I buy them. Then I freeze the grounds to preserve them. It works great, but I would prefer to freshly grind my coffee. I usually get my beans from World Market. I love their Italian Roast..

I totally agree with you. I am permanently stuck with The Original Mocha now, probably because I like my coffee with a very slight tinge of bitterness.
My favorite drinks from there is the Original Vanilla and Chai Mate Ice Blended. Such deliciousness. I don't mind the tinge of bitterness, but usually I prefer something sweet. I prefer bold coffee in general however.
Awesome to see so many replies!
Thanks for keeping the coffee spirit alive here at Macrumors
I didn't quite like my current setup (It was a bit too dark).
So therefor please welcome my personal, and a bit ligther, setup 2.0
FYI my name is Sebastian (regarding wall text)

Nice setup. Looks like i have seen it somewhere before. Have a shipment of coffee coming
Never seen one of those mounted sideways on the wall before. Good job. Must be fun getting that first cup every morning.
Not even one Nespresso-machine. I'm surprised! Are they unavailable in the US or simply not popular? (I don't drink coffee btw).

I've seen them in the stores, but not seen one in any of my friends' homes. Guess it's just not popular here.
