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 ?

Congratulations! That will teach me not to hesitate…

To prevent scratches on my Minima I finally settled on silicone mat meant for dehydrators. The white perhaps isn’t ideal, but it is thin, durable and food safe.

To go with the Normcore tamper that I got last week the matching dosing cup and funnel arrived today. The dosing cup makes things very neat for transfer so I’m only really using the funnel to contain any mess from wdt.

The cup is great, only complaint with the funnel is it’s not flush to the basket so some grounds get in between. But at £8 on eBay And 2 day shipping is a lot cheaper and faster than the Decent one

Pompeyexile I tried some beans from there some time ago. We live in Helmsley so I suppose we are classed as neighbours.

Knock Aergrind to replace the cheapo grinder I’ve been using with the Aeropress. First impressions are that it’s faster than I expected and the grind setting I tried was good for the Ethiopian beans I’ve been enjoying.

LMSC I’ve been looking at them as well….

DavecUK This will be our third Insta Pot in 2 years. The first two were literally at a total cost of £60. Amazon agreed with the issue and allowed us to return. They said they will refund. So, what ever they refund, it will be subsidising the already discounted price of £106.11 from the listed price of £129.99. I think, we were unlucky with the unit as the feedback is generally very good. Hoping, a third time lucky! 😊

LMSC I have a Tefal Clipso pressure cooker, but can’t remember if it works on induction. Need to save money on those cheaper cuts of meat and cook using less energy.

LMSC

DavecUK We had a couple of Tefal multi cookers. Both failed just outside the warranty. We are vegetarians, btw.

We’ve had the Sage for about 4 years and it has been very good…

Just started getting things in readiness for the new machine.A few more items to get.

JahLaza

Also in prep for the new machine

Meldrew

JahLaza That was quick. Do you think they would be any good with a quartz worktop.

JahLaza

I walked into B&Q today and picked them up. I reckon you’d be ok on quartz but couldn’t be sure, maybe others could advise? @PaulL has them on his maybe he could advise?
