caffeinated-carp indeed. Link please!!
What's your favourite coffee accessory?
Mine, for now, is my Sworks funnel. A joy to use, and even just hold.

I bought two of their walnut tamper stands to make the US shipping worthwhile but I just noticed there’s a few UK retailers now:
caffeinated-carp yes, see my post on it.
Has anyone used the Espazzola grouphead cleaner? Any good?
Had one,
Waste of time really
Esp on a lever haha
Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

We probably all have a few accessories we use and don’t think about much so here’s one I always use, the simple cellulose sponge. I cut them into 3” x 2” 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 don’t need bigger.
You know the sort of sponges, packet of 4 for £1 or so from most supermarkets like this example https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-cellulose-sponge-wipes-4-pack/p/0269792

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.
Amberale Sounds like Weber took the same approach…
Amberale hah that’s awesome, and yeh does look like the weber one. i must admit i do like the look/function of the weber, very cool
I have a Chinese knock off and the original one. Strangely rhe knock off seems to work better.
caffeinated-carp the weber spring clean works brilliantly on the Decent. Have yet to try it on an E61 group head.

Amberale Not as pretty perhaps but about $30aud on Ali
Not sure how this works. Would you have a link to the manufacturers demonstration video? And a link to Ali.
Do you find it beneficial, relative to a blind portafilter backflush?
@MediumRoastSteam I would think that the backflush on the Lelit E is good enough? Do you see any benefit to this for a Lelit E?
