Boxing Day Guess what it is?

PartySausage

I’ve been somewhat of a stranger to coffee forums of late although it’s not like I’m a top contributor. I thought I’d reintegrate with a little guess what it is quiz for a little quality of life project I’ve been working on, which was dreamt up whilst indulging in one my other fav pastimes. Enjoy😊

Adrianmsmith

Compression tester maybe?

Adrianmsmith

Or 2023 inception spinning top

PartySausage

Good guesses, both wrong I’m afraid, though it does require compression of a sort in use

Adrianmsmith

PartySausage maybe you can dimension it and tell us is the dot on Top of the spike a hole or a rendering centre.

MacPhisto

Hmm, looks like trying to isolate/reduce vibration. I’d go with something to slip over the feet of a record player.

Platypus

Golf ball tee for windy weather?? 😳

PartySausage

Yes a bit of sizing would give some perspective. The large part is 75mm diameter & 25mm tall with pointy bit being 35mm long.
The dot on the point is just a result of the radius on the tip to make it less fragile but other than that it doesn’t have any special function.
The 2 parts are designed to be dismantled when not being used to make it more compact for transporting & prevent the spike from getting damaged & as a clue it is coffee related

Systemic

Is the spike removed when in use?

PartySausage

Systemic It could be used with or without the spike but would normally be used with it

Adrianmsmith

Coffee cup holder when out fishing on the river bank

Systemic

Do you put ground coffee in it?

Systemic

I wonder if I am overthinking this😀

dfk41

Is it a token to be used in a board game ie Monopoly the Scottie Dog, the Boot etc

PartySausage

Some great answers here. @Adrianmsmith is the closest so far

MacPhisto

it’s an adapter to turn a bigstep tamper into a deadly weapon.

PartySausage

MacPhisto 🤣

Adrianmsmith

PartySausage
@MacPhisto is correct then??!! 😎😜

Adrianmsmith

Ok it’s not a cup holder, it’s to keep the heat in, lid for the cup? ……. Whilst fishing maybe.

Platypus

A holder for the Fellow Prismo to steady whilst outside? I’ve counted the sides panels😆

Platypus Bingo🎉 Top of the class 👏 Much better than playing Russian roulette balancing it in a hiking boot
