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 😄 .

Getting this up three flights of stairs was fun. 😫 https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/P8u84KYQ/8b682a6b-1150-4422-868a-c702db2c2a05.jpg

@"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 ?

Cuprajake awesome!

These arrived today, hadn’t heard of them until I saw them on Frank/Titus IG…thought I’d give them a try

Inspector

i thought they are coffee flavoured ice cream :)

DavecUK

Inspector i thought they are coffee flavoured ice cream :)

Me too….it’s like…weird man.

pipedreams86

Inspector Lol, makes me want to make an Affogato!

MattH

New toy !

DavecUK

MattH That’s the next UK government space shuttle.

MediumRoastSteam

Never disappoints….

@LeefromFoundryCR

LMSC

MediumRoastSteam Nice! Let’s know how you got on. Any reason, you got only these two, ignoring Rocko, Rwanda and so on? I ordered a half-dozen small bag today.

MattH

Hmm amazing how much stuff you end collecting in a short amount of time…

Did not like the funnel I got from Amazon - though it has magnets it does not fit onto the ims basket (on the 9barista) - just sort of sits on the curved edge..

So got these from bella barista - perfect for when I get a 58mm machine in the future.

Doram

Viton O-rings for the bottom of the E-61 mushroom.

If anyone needs those, the size is BS210 (Inside Diameter 18.64mm, cross cut 3.53mm). The pack of 10 pictured above came from here for a very reasonable price.

I got Viton (FKM) as they were recommended by @DavecUK for the flow control device and I have seen that they are holding up much better than the EDPM o-rings that I had before.

Here is a picture of the EPDM o-ring completely split after a couple years of use:

Elcarajillo

Doram For anyone buying ‘O’ rings for E 61 mushroom these are the wrong size.

I bought these as spec and they are too thick, they become displaced as the mushroom is tightened= water leaking around the head.

Igm45

A rather special delivery for me today…

tompoland

Igm45 very excited for you, such a wonderful set of hybrid burrs.

pipedreams86

Igm45 So glad they made it safely to you! Enjoy!

Igm45

New grinder, cup and beans!!! Big treat day.

MediumRoastSteam

LMSC I already consumed a kilo of the Rocko! I thought I’d stick with Bolivia this time…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

pipedreams86

The R2 Extract refractometer & Microbalance scale were just delivered to me today, looking forward to trying them out as I have never used a refractometer before. I was surprised at the size of the scale, but that is compared to the Acaia Lunar that I have used up until now

DavecUK

pipedreams86 I watched the video, noticed they didn’t strain the coffee through a filter…but it’s something else I never knew I wanted, or needed. How much did it cost may I ask?
