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.

What did postman bring today ?

DavecUK Potential issues with nutty notes tainting flavour in the cup…

DavecUK

PortafilterProcrastinator I do not know what human ear wax tastes like…..nuts…hmmm😝

DavecUK Endoscope put another orifice into my mind!

On oneself is easy.

Exactly. It’s got lots of potential uses and the silicone rubber tips can be removed and changed so there’s no need to put a tainted one anywhere.

A new bee suit, this one is full of holes but they’re 5mm deep 2 mm more than a bee sting so in hot weather we won’t have to wear much underneath and will feel a cool draft

DavecUK

SurreyAlan Imagine that in the bedroom….

Mr Postie brought one of these today (review to follow):

(Boston Electronic Tamper)

DavecUK

tompoland How does it work?

tompoland

I’ll put a little video together but essentially is sits on top of the portafilter, you then turn it and it uses the lugs/wings to clamp onto and then auto tamps. The advantage is the eveness of the tamp by the using the lugs/wings for grip and the top of the basket to stay level. I believe this gives it an advantage over a puqpress style of electronic tamper. Quite clever.

DavecUK

That’s rather an excellent device. Amazing no one ever thought of it before. Could be the coffee lovers Xmas gift of 2022.

Inspector

DavecUK you mean 2023 :)

Unless @tompoland wishes to gift his one.

PortafilterProcrastinator

DavecUK Pre-order for April23 delivery and get 40% off - only £136 (which is pretty good, full price a bit of a stretch)

I’m just waiting for BOSE to take exception to the name.

It looks easy to use and almost fun - look forward to the review @tompoland

tompoland

PortafilterProcrastinator indeed it is a very good price. I paid full price before the new special was offered so I can confirm that it is a genuine price reduction of 40%.

Meldrew

Someone is keen, received this today.

dutchy101

Was probably posted last December and has only just arrived

Meldrew

dutchy101 Just like the wife’s pressie, I insist that it was lost in the post.

PortafilterProcrastinator

Looking forward to cracking into this.
