Tell members what you got - pictures too if you have them

Lets kick off with some beautiful measuring equipment and it's even coffee related for some projects I'm doing. Micrometer (1 micron), depth gauge (1 micron) and calipers (10 micron). A pleasure to use, especially the callipers as my other set are Mitutoyo, but 60 years old (my dads) and in thou.

Not nearly as desirable as Dave's Mitutoyo triptych, but I my AliExpress order arrived, Timemore scales and tamping stand. https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/6quvgKo1/d1df3fad-2e19-4680-8ce4-1b3b2beda9c9.jpg https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/2NuPLY8D/e86b8e20-5899-4d8c-9d5f-c6d9f5ac229c.jpg https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/jkuEwdpG/3de85076-95b0-4234-8023-c13f2363b3dd.jpg Tamping stand reminds me of a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/7KuA5eZw/ab5f8c5e-ae80-4b21-9ca1-6eaf383dc281.jpg

Up and running again now 😄 .

@"Elcarajillo"#p228 Looks good Frank, especially like the PID, much better than the old one…you going to keep the longer legs :😉 And @"Gagaryn"#p405 at least it isn't a Vesuvius Evo?

@"Gagaryn"#p405 All the legs are intact for a change.

Cuprajake haha indeed! I have tone of the same brand, but I don’t think it’s the same model. In any case, nice! Welcome to the club!

LMSC Some nice coffees there. All my favourite origins in one place.

LMSC

DavecUK David is a good roaster and coffee from his’ is always good and doesn’t disappoint. The roasts tend to be a little on the darker side, though.

@LMSC i have 3 of those coming too

LMSC

Cuprajake Which ones please?

Cuprajake

I’m a bloody nightmare me 🤣

CoyoteOldMan

Cuprajake Isn’t that a bit small?

Cuprajake

CoyoteOldMan

Looks like a decent fit

I can always turn the oe 58mm one down

Cuprajake

Dunno will find out 🤣

CoyoteOldMan

Cuprajake I hope it works well - it seems to fit about as well as the ACS/Motta tamper in the stock basket, which is sometimes annoying for me - then again, the stock basket is ridged, which I guess doesn’t help with grounds getting stuck on the sides.

Well, these arrived yesterday. The decaf was £8.99 a kilo and the other £5.99. @Inspector is to blame for this! The out of date marshmallows at £1 per kilo taste ok though! Once I have had a play around I will start a thread telling you how I got on!

😃

Well, I enjoyed your recommendations before on decaf, I hope you enjoy this one.

What does it say about expiration date on the bag? Is it next year October or September? Most likely September if they arrived yesterday.

I am about to make cup of each now :)

Don’t forget to check for stones 😉

CoyoteOldMan

Inspector In the marshmallows? 😂

Inspector

Coffee bags I meant 🤪

But yeah for that price, also check marshmallows 😅
