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 ?

BigTTony

Sorry, no pic, but just received some Udderly Sublime Espresso Blend Roasted Coffee from White Rose Coffee roasters. I went with them after seeing a recommendation on here, but I was a little disappointed to see that the beans were roasted almost a month ago. I’m used to getting them within a few days of roasting so anything more than 5-7 days is a red flag for me. Not tasted it yet so I can’t comment on how good it is.

BigTTony

hmm, that is a surprise, I’m on a lucky dip subscription with them and they always arrive a few days (courier allowing) after roasting. Guess it might be different if it’s non subscription or a particular bean but I agree a month seems less than ideal.

Rob666

I tried them after seeing the recco on here. They were only a few days after roasting (less than a week). A bit light roasted for our taste though for a given SO bean.

Cuprajake

Some new beans and a fresh baske

My DIY mirror came today, both acrylic mirror and phone holder off ebay

Postman (UPS to be exact) finally released my package:

Otaibimn Please share your experience!

Cuprajake

Another delivery from Rave…

More Bean

Have gone thru’ many blogs and videos to detect the fake. This looks good. Sold and dispatched directly by Amazon and not any 3rd party. They are one of the authorised retailers. Will call Mitutoyo anyway to check in any case.

DavecUK

LMSC The Amazon ones look genuine. Good calipers, I have a set. Well I have 2 sets as I also have my dad’s 50+ year old Imperial ones.

LMSC

DavecUK yeah! you can’t trust 3rd party sellers.

Petre

Otaibimn love your setup. How’s P100? It’s a grinder that ppl don’t talk a lot but looks great on specs. I was gravitating on buying one too (I still am).

BigTTony

Just got a dosing funnel for my bianca pf. It cost £9.79 from Amazon and its absolutely spot on. It fits perfectly, well built (aluminium) and the magnets are strong enough to hold it in place upside down. It also happens to store nicely away on top of my pressure mat with my Torr tamp on top. Bargain.

DavecUK

BigTTony Don’t forget a link to help others find it.

dutchy101

Was just about to ask. I’ve got a 3d printed one that cost about the same

BigTTony

No worries, here you go

Gav86

BigTTony thanks for the link. I’m in the look out of a funnel. How does the lip impact the Puck prep as it looks like it sits inside the basket? Any chance of a photo of the portafilter after wdt / before tamp?

BigTTony

Gav86 the lip does indeed sit inside the basket, but only by a smidge. I’ll do a photo in the morning (fingers crossed I remember)

BigTTony

Gav86 here you go. First photo is postgribd but before WDT. Second is post WDT and third is same as the second but with the funnel removed. In my opinion it worked perfectly
