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 ?

CoyoteOldMan

MediumRoastSteam Yep; that’s what I did yesterday, but it seems to have caused problems at least with some browsers.

A safer, if more convoluted, method is to copy/paste the image from Photos (as above) into an intermediate app like Powerpoint, and then copy/paste the image from there. It seems to work more reliably in generating the imgur upload.

DavecUK

If you can read this you are quite correct, although on my windows PC and google browser a paste option was not shown, but Ctl+V did the trick

CoyoteOldMan

I can see Paolo Cortese there, hiding behind a black Leva!

DavecUK

CoyoteOldMan and the One group Vostok back right.

CoyoteOldMan

DavecUK Ah - so that is what it is! Did Antonio Nurri have a hand in designing it, way back when? There are design clues (the ‘swept back’ sides) that seem to be present in Nurri’s current machine.

DavecUK

CoyoteOldMan Not really no.

Hotmetal

Guatemala Buena Vista Concepción Nº 146 - (250g) / Whole Bean

line.title

Ethiopia Demicha Nº 145 - (1kg) / Whole Bean

I’ll probably drink the Guatemala as brewed (AP) and the Ethiopia will get drunk as AP, espresso and flat white.

audiomacgyver

Beans for work!

CoyoteOldMan

audiomacgyver Beans for work!

You treat yourselves well!

Hotmetal

Mmm anaerobic Guji, wow that sounds banging!

audiomacgyver

Hotmetal They are one of my favorite beans in recent memory!

prezes

Delivery from Django arrived

dfk41

prezes Hope they are better than another forum member received from them!

prezes

dfk41 I missed that. Something wasn’t right ?? My previous order was very well roasted although had replacement

Hotmetal

Mine are due tomorrow. I’ve never been disappointed with anything from Django.

PortafilterProcrastinator

Hotmetal Neither have I. Mine arrived today. I’m really hoping the new roaster doesn’t dent their reputation.

Even if mine aren’t good it won’t put me off, everyone needs a bit of slack at times like this.

dutchy101

2 pretty inflated valveless bags.

prezes

dutchy101 funny how the 250g bags have valves

DavecUK

prezes probably less expansion space….

LMSC

PortafilterProcrastinator My refund will arrive in my card account in a few days time.

Hotmetal

PortafilterProcrastinator I still haven’t got my Django order which I put in last Tuesday! NOT Django’s fault, he did the business quickly as always. No, Royal Fail decided to send it to Manchester for a week, then to Scotland FFS! 🤣 I live near Heathrow! Anyway it can rest as well in the sorting office as it can here. I thought maybe the postie had nabbed it but it seems just another routing error!
