caffeinated-carp I ask this because I have a fairly fond attachment to the Grindenstein knock box. I know a knock box doesn't have to do all that much, but it does it exceedingly well and at a very good price! You can chuck it in the dishwasher and it comes out looking brand new. It just sits there doing its job without fuss š
Cuprajake my yuaga scales, there 3yrs old, on the original batteries, ive got a spare yaga scale in the box, but these just wont die
Ernie1 caffeinated-carp I have that knock box! It is indeed great. This is my fave - Artpresso group brush. Such a simple idea to combine a brush, short flat headed screwdriver and mirror. Makes cleaning/inspecting the LM group/screen an absolute breeeze.
caffeinated-carp Cuprajake they look good actually. Iāve got some smart weight scales, fairly similar in the sense they wonāt die. I soaked them yesterday, the LCD had water in it. Just put them on the warming tray for 30 mins and all is well!
caffeinated-carp Ernie1 now that actually looks quite awesome. Going to have to get one of those š
Ernie1 https://www.artpressodesign.com/product/espresso-machine-58mm-group-head-cleaning-tool/ I bought two of their walnut tamper stands to make the US shipping worthwhile but I just noticed thereās a few UK retailers now: https://www.shopcoffee.co.uk/product/cleaning-filtration/cleaning-tools/artpresso-58mm-group-head-cleaning-tool/
simonc Ernie1 sorry, hadn't realised the brand name was there. Cheers, will look and try to resist other goodies
MattH Ernie1 Damn had not realised there was a UK stockistā¦ā¦ I also fancy the sworks funnel - but not the shipping š Not sure I have a favourite yet - still collecting š
Admin caffeinated-carp Has anyone used the Espazzola grouphead cleaner? Any good? I use the pallo coffee tool.
PaulL We probably all have a few accessories we use and donāt think about much so hereās one I always use, the simple cellulose sponge. I cut them into 3ā x 2ā sort of size and wrap the others in cling film and change every few days, they last for ages and so no unpleasant cloth hanging around and I donāt need bigger. You know the sort of sponges, packet of 4 for Ā£1 or so from most supermarkets like this example https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-cellulose-sponge-wipes-4-pack/p/0269792
Amberale caffeinated-carp I have a knock off one. One of the few knock offs I own. I works well enough to use occasionally on the Bianca but not well enough to buy the real one. I have a Pallo as well and it gets used for deep cleans. I did make a back flusher out of an old PF and a double action pneumatic cylinder (sort of like this https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwiop53bkcf-AhVUVisKHacpBbEYABBLGgJzZg&sig=AOD64_1h1raZnY98n-3ucPJs3H8Zn3MkCw&adurl&ctype=5&ved=2ahUKEwjy95Lbkcf-AhX7odgFHTEnAb4Quxd6BQgBELcE ) It is really satisfying flushing 100mls back through an E61 after cleaning.
MattH Amberale Sounds like Weber took the same approachā¦ https://weberworkshops.com/products/spring-cleanp
