Mark-drinks-coffee Or perhaps one where you weight ‘X’g in and 0g come out?
I was using Roman numerals. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜👍
What did postman bring today ?
Doram Thanks for the advice re the bellows. But I think that I will follow @MediumRoastSteam’s advice and will stop worrying about those minor inconveniences😁

Whatever works for you.
I use the bellows because it stops the coffee drop on the base, not because I worry that 0.2 grams will make a difference in the cup. I didn’t like to have to clack the lid to get rid or it, and I often got the drop even after clacking. The bellows solved this, so that works for me.
Finally can stop buying bottled water. Just got to work out how to remineralise now!
320 mg of sodium bicarbonate to 5 litres of zero water or 64 mg to a litre

simonc Remineralisation is easy and cheap. Just need to decide what you want in there…
I’ve experimented with MgSO4 and KHCO3 as well as MgSO4 and Ca citrate (“low sulphate” recipe) so far. I prefer the Mg + Bicarb recipe.

A comandante c40 from clumsy goat, came into this box.
Not a big delivery but kinda pretty. Wanted cups with artwork, Illy art cups are stupid money in Oz….
Another dosing ring yet perfect this time. Finally I can stand and grind straight to the portafilter. Tall as the one I normally use but with a cut out allowing it to sit properly.

prezes Is that a Vesuvius or an Evo? Particularly if the latter, do you mind sharing where you got the ring from, please?
CoyoteOldMan it’s the Vesuvius and the ring is from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1004571938/58-mm-magnetic-espresso-dosing-ring?ref=yr_purchases

prezes Thanks - bummer, they only have 58 mm rings (or a 49/51). The search continues!
ETA - Never mind; they seem to have a 54 mm (lower profile), but for some reason it’s not listed under dosing funnels. 🤔
CoyoteOldMan worth dropping him a message as I think he does them to order so might be able to get one done for you in right size.
I’ve been looking for a long while now for something that will work while sitting on the stand

prezes I need to get the machine first!!! (It was supposed to be shipped this week, but I haven’t heard news, so I suppose it hasn’t been)
prezes thanks for the link. I’ve decided to bite the bullet and buy one. £39 delivered isn’t cheap, but I’m convinced the dosing funnels that cause a lip are likely going to create uneven water saturation through the Puck. I’ve toyed back and forth with living with the cheap one, but I’ve spent the best part of £2.5k on a new set up so it doesn’t make sense to jeopardise the end product on something as simple as this. It’s one of those things I hate having to buy, but I’ve got a feeling I won’t regret it in the long run.
BigTTony I’m glad it’s useful for you. it seems really well finished and the magnets fitted are quite strong so hold really well to the basket.
I had a few over the years and to be fair my last one was ideal as tall, no lip etc - but obviously wanted more lol.

Been ridiculously busy at work. So busy that I needed to change job.
Soma of the latest deliveries.
