Title: Did I do it wrong?

And here's the link to the blockchain.

"Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction is trying to double spend. Input 0 is already spent."

I didn't see an option for a fee?

What do I do now?

More information: this was done through coincafe.com.

Whoever actually made the transaction (either you or coincafe) made it incorrectly and it spent from an output that was already spent by another transaction. This means that it is a double spend. The other transaction probably confirmed thus making your transaction completely invalid. Blockchain.info removed your transaction from their database because it is pointless to keep invalid transactions. You may be able to find your transaction on another block explorer, but it wouldn't help anyways if it is a double spend.

So what would my next step be?

Are you the person who sent it (as in you control the private keys) or did coincafe send it (as in they control the private keys)? If the former, make sure your wallet is synced and send again. If the latter, contact coincafe's support.

"So sorry for the trouble. Our engineering team is working on the bitcoin servers this weekend. Some users like yourself are experiencing incorrectly calibrated outgoing transactions. We anticipate a fix to come soon from our dev team. Certainly everything should be back to normal by end of day Monday at the latest."

Just my luck.

Looks like the blockchain  has it updated now, is the fee too low?

Is there any way I can speed up the process?

This transaction now has six confirmations. You should be able to spend the coins from it now. If the coins were sent to a web service then that service should have made them available for you to spend by now. If a web service is withholding them then all you can do is contact its support.

Who controls the address from the screenshot you posted? Does a web service control it, or is it from a wallet installed on your computer, or mobile?
